TIL about Earl Silverman, a domestic abuse survivor who founded a shelter for men. It was denied funding from the government and he was ridiculed. The shelter went bankrupt and he died by suicide

You're viewing a single thread.
Be a shame if the people responsible were hanged.
killing humans is never the answer. it devolves you into something worse than youre trying to combat because you, presumably have a choice.
Never?
dont be that person
Don't use the words never or always. It rarely leads to an accurate statement
I think it makes sense to use violence against people committing genocide, for example
violence is a last resort, i just forgot how many pedants exist
words have meaning, sometimes it is important to be precise
mostly not though
Committing as in physically committing, sure.
Consciously I know that. But having lived under cruelty for many years I cant compute it emotionally in this case. The amount of cruelty needed to drive someone to suicide (not saying its always like this) is just not bearable for me.
That’s basically tautological. That which is not bearable is that which drives a person to suicide.
No idea what you‘re talking about.
Nobody can really say what drives a person to suicide but afaik, it is a culmination of things:
- hardship
- loneliness
- lack of positive perspective
Having hardship but still having friends and family to combat it or a positive perspective on life might save someone.
But leaving someone who already spent effort to help others in particular need - likely having a history of spousal abuse themselves - ridiculing them which drives them to suicide is beyond cruel imo.
Thats why I‘m pretty devoid of empathy towards the people responsible.
killing humans is never the answer
What if you are in a war or being attacked or something
cmon, you know what this is about. dont be a pedant
I don't know what you mean, that's why I'm asking
killing humans is [almost] never the answer. it devolves you into something worse than youre trying to combat because you, presumably have a choice.

That makes more sense

Humans are no better than the meat you eat and many of them are worse.
That takes away the choice from convicted people who choose to rehabilitate
I fail to see a path to rehabilitation for people who drive others to suicide. For me its a lot worse than murder. The amount of cruelty needed to really drive someone to do it is incomprehensible to me.
