I don’t find the premise logical - that suicidal taboo prevents people from action
> Indentured servitude, extortion, social injustice, slavery. All these hinge on a human being having no way out of mistreatment. In such a society, it would be largely impossible to compel anyone to do something against their will.
> At first glance, this seems like it would benefit the bullies
Sure, people can remove themselves from harm, but most of the time they will remove the harm themselves - this definitely would not favor the bully
This is where revolutions and revolts come from
Suicide taboo is not holding anyone back
