Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Society should serve human nature, human nature shouldn't change to serve society.

People suicide where they feel alienated, and like they're not served by the social functions and contracts that are in place.

Basically where they don't like the life that's on offer.

Then we lie to them and tell them "it will get better" to get them off the ledge solely to try to squeeze a little more productivity out of them for the owners before they realize "but society cares about you" was just yet another layer of bullshit by a civilization that's been warped and perverted to serve the singular goal of "make the wealth class wealthier" at literally all expense, even the very air we all breathe.

A poor person begging for help will just get a 72 hour hold, some generic pills tossed at them to dull their mind, and even more debt for begging for help, where a wealthy sociopath that exploits thousands including that poor person will get all the mental health assistance they desire up to and including self-actualization and strategies to mitigate any wealth guilt when they should very much feel guilty for exploiting others and hoarding more than they would need for several gluttonous lifetimes when struggling people exist.
