The US' approach of underpaying people is a social-darwinist approach to kill the "unworthy of life". I strongly reject such views, but the US is the US, so.

Spite is a great reason not to kill yourself

And absurdism, just embrace the absurd that we are living here and now.

Disassociate until you're able to focus on the trash fire that's your life so you don't see the raging landfill that is the world.

That's a feature of capatilism and Amerikkka, not a side effect. So yes I totally agree. I call it Amerikkkas secret eugenics programβ„’

Maybe to us yes but the general population have been gaslighted and propagandaand(?) into thinking it's not

The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

-Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

isn't the problem with sisyphus that it rolled back down and he had to repeat. Like if it was infinitely high that would not seem quite as hellish.

I often wonder if we could keep our population going if everyone who wanted to die did at that moment.
