Re:No, Teen Suicide Isn’t Rising Because Life Got Objectivel... by kelseyfrog on Wednesday March 01, 2023 @11:43AM (#34984440)
Notice how the problems share a common thread? It's simply better messaging from anti-capitalists.

Everyone's lives has problems, but find a way to thread them together that frames them under a unified message, and you've done a lot more to advance a message. What's not going to work is telling people their lives are actually ok, and the alternative messages, "The problem is actually you," or "That other group is making your life worse," either turn the problem inward which doesn't do anything to help suicide rates, or foments identity tensions which teens find unpalatable.

If you want teen suicide rate to fall, out-message the most powerful message. Or I mean, actually abolish capitalism and prove them wrong, or right.
