    To all the people reading through this comment section believing that China and the DPRK are obviously lying about their suicide rates consider that you might be believing this with very little evidence. Unless you can show otherwise there is no actual reasonable evidence that proves in any way that they are indeed lying about this information.

    Instead of following your gut actually take a step back and consider all the evidence you have that proves these countries are lying about there own statistics. The truth isn’t always easy to find, conspiracy theorists believe insane theories such as covid is fake because they mindlessly follow what they have been told without good evidence. I’m not telling you to become a communist I’m just telling you to always consider that everything you have been told your whole life could be wrong. Maybe the flat earthers were right all along.

      They probably aren’t lying , but that doesn’t mean living there is better , it might just be an ideological problem Life in a middle eastern war torn Muslim Country is a living hell so why won’t you just kill your self ? , u can’t Suicide in islam is a great sin and people don’t suicide even if they want too Same might be true for people in China or North Korea or maybe life is just simpler there so no one suicides !

        Oh no it “might” be bad. Theoretically. If everyone’s brains suddenly worked differently somehow. Then it would maybe be bad. Otherwise it’s good.

        But even in your wildest worst-case-scenario-plus-made-up-stuff fantasies, the capitalist countries are still worse.

        What if people commit suicide less in china and the DPRK because their lives are actually better? Is it not at least worth considering the possibility that people in these countries are happier? And what makes Chinese and Koreans simpler people than people from there capitalist counterparts, I think all humans are smart and complex individuals with deep, emotional personalities.

        As well I think that people consider suicide due to feeling oppressed, unvalued and alienated. Therefore, the difference between societies with high and low suicide rates is a result of how well the society helps it’s lowest and most oppressed members.

          It could be , for example if the gov provides a house , food and medical care life would be simpler and I guess in NK every one has a job and don’t have to deal with BS corporate shit and HR assholes so life is simpler there so less suicide

          the difference between societies with high and low suicide rates is a result of how well the society helps it’s lowest and most oppressed members. yes absolutely , with an exception to muslim societies Seriously the only reason I haven’t commited suicide is the miniscule Tiny Hair connecting me to islam , no matter what opressed unlucky indivisual you know I’m 10x more , u can ask u will be suprised

            Sorry but Im not following your train of thought. Are you saying that the govenment providing housing, food and medical to people who need it, is not making a better place to live, it is just making a simpler place to live?

            Of so what would make a place actually better to live?
