suicide is literally illegal under capitalismI love how rankled all the libs get when they see this.
All the shitlibs are suddenly weirdly pro suicide.
I am sure these figures are accurate and can be trusted. There’s no way the Chinese or North Korean government would ever lie about these figures.
We need a button for the unfalsifiable orthodoxy Parenti quote.
Part of the ideology of white-supremacy, is that proximity to whiteness means trustworthiness and authenticity, and distance from it means untrustworthiness.
So white supremacists think only the western countries (and their allies like South Korea, Japan, and other US military base countries) data and educational institutions can be trusted, while the numbers coming from any country opposed to them must inherently be a lie.
And Taiwan or South Korea never lied too and their real numbers are definitely lower than this shit.
Holy chauvinism.
The framing and double-standard is chauvinist and bad.
But there are reasons to be skeptical of suicide stats worldwide due to cultural ideas and norms around suicide. Like, look at the US. It was common practice for coroners to put accident as cause of death even if it was clearly suicide - and still is, to some degree. Only recently have statisticians began including certain other cases of “accidental” death as suicide (some single car crashes, gun “accidents”, ODs, etc).
And different countries have different methods for reporting out on suicide. It’s not founded to say countries are intentionally skewing suicide stats, but it would be constructive to be skeptical about how those figures were arrived at before believing memes without citations.
I would have no issue with them saying suicide stats are often inaccurate due to x, y, or z reason.
What they instead chose to say was the typical chauvinist bullshit of the evil Asiatic hoardes in China and the DPRK can’t be trusted to report anything truthfully nonsense.
I was agreeing with you
The evil communists are repressing the hardworking suicide booth owners from making a
killingprofit and an honest living.
Obviously those are fake communist numbers, can’t trust them!
And besides, people in those countries can’t suicide because the evil regime would gulag their whole family for two generations!
And actually, higher suicide rate in capitalist countries just shows they have more personal freedom/are more democratic!

Not reporting accurate information is not the same thing
yeah, south korea tends to do that, but at least we have an idea of how bad things are in the regime
What do you mean?
Imagine not even having the right to kill yourself
why is this important at all? who fucking cares that suicide is legal or not when trying to kill yourself? you’re gonna die bro, what you plan on committing suicide but you’re afraid of some legal bullshit?
what country are you from? is suicide legal? is that your first thought when you’re depressed? are you some sort of euthanasia propagandist? i dont eve get where your going with this
Not to side with the propaganda guy, but it’s illegal to commit suicide in the US. Not sure about other countries but I’m sure it’s common.
There’s like 9 countries that euthanasia is legal and none is on the map.
@jankforlife Not being able to kill yourself is wild af
“They’re bad because they have low suicide rates” is certainly a take
Libs would support suicide to protect capital lmaaaaoooo
i genuinely dont know if youre a serious liberal or a comrade joking
@gary_host_laptop If you can’t even choose to leave, you’re a prisoner, not a citizen, that’s all i’m gonna say.
People can leave the DPRK, many work abroad in China for example. As for suicide, do you think the reason people aren’t killing themselves in the DPRK and PRC as much as in the ROK and Taiwan is because they aren’t allowed to? Why would anyone care about legal consequences if they are dead?
@Cowbee I mean is also difficult to do it, yk, it’s not like shoot yourself and that’s it
Sure? I don’t see what that has to do with the meme.
the dprk is the freeist place on earth compared to whatever you live if youre this brainwashed
@gary_host_laptop How?
@gary_host_laptop Okay bro, I’m not understanding you, but, no hate, have a good day
