if hyperbole doesn't match your worldview of being pedantic then we can rephrase: it is an extremely low effort patch that has a net positive for society. The net positive is empowering productive people in the workforce. People that were otherwise marginalized, or uncomfortable enough to be suicidal. A prerequisite to this worldview is that we don't want them to go away or be dead, which seems to underlie some people's perspective.
- musingsole 6y agoThe unfortunate truth of the world is that no one cares about everyone. Asking people to adjust their worldview so someone they don't know or don't care about doesn't off themselves just isn't a great sales pitch (especially to the conservatively inclined). Some of those people mean it when they say "go f* yourself".
