All so these fucking sanctimonious cocksuckers don't have to live in a world where suicidal people can express their actual feelings without immediately being hauled off to a loony bin.
What looney bin? They'll be shoved off to a hospital made to sit around for three days until they say well we can't keep you here cause you're fine now, here's the bill, now fuck off. Congrats, now you have more reason to kill yourself: 60k medical debt you did not want.
The most ironic part of the increase in "suicide awareness" over the past decade and the push of "You're not alone! Speak with someone!" is the consequences that dissuade people from wanting to, or at least from being dumb enough to do it twice, haven't really changed. When the US rolled out the 988 suicide hotline number, you started seeing posts on social media of people warning others not to call it, for fear of what might happen when the "anonymous chat" has the police show up at your door. And that's not even going into the social effects, with people talking about their friends and families meeting them with incredulity, derision, dismissal, or outright hostility. People like to think they'd have that movie moment where they convince their friend that life is beautiful, but nobody
actually wants to be the one listening to handsome
Richard Cory talk about how hard life is for him.
As if being rolled out to the hospital wasn't bad enough, I've seen guys who get stopped by "Crisis Intervention Units" get to spend 72 hours (or until a judge got around to signing a court order the next week) in the padded cells of the local jail, in the wing populated by
actual lunatics. It's like stuff out of Hellraiser 2. You wouldn't treat a
dog the way some people are treated after an attempt, and towns and police departments pat themselves on the back when the newspaper rolls out a story of someone's life being saved from jumping off a bridge, while the guy's curled up in a cell stained with someone's blood and feces. I don't want to PL too much, but it's one of the reasons I soured on the field. For all the pomp, we never really got past the days of Bedlam.
That's the irony. One of the most progressive countries on earth will let you kill yourself for practically any reason at all, as long as you have a suicide loicense. But do it yourself? Oy vey, the medical system has to get paid, and remember to sign your organ donor card!
It's all about that value extraction. I know the whole line about "it's illegal to destroy government property" comes across as very edgy and immature, but it's hard not to find some truth in it when you see these kinds of standards go from proposal to national law, with the window now shifting to discussion about offering MAID to diseased newborns.
