THC posted:The gun suicides are disproportionately farmers right? And farmers have a legitimate excuse to own guns. There's a number of social and economic issues we could work on to hopefully tackle the epidemic of farm suicides, much more practical and effective than taking away the guns. I saw this amazing thread about it yesterday, highly recommended. Not sure if farmers have a good reason for owning guns, last time I hard about a farmer killing anybody it was some FNs kid.

CSIS and the RCMP are too busy tripping over themselves trying to monitor the dangerous 'foreign funded' 'Indigenous sovereignty' movements who are 'anti-canadian' and 'anti-petroleum industry' while briefing corporate partners to protect anyone from actual terrorists.

As I understand it most of our anti terrorist infrastructure in those agencies are geared towards understanding terrorism to be against critical infrastructure. The laws we have are gray enough that they justify surveillance against activists that are working 'against' critical infrastructure like the oil industry by protesting things like fracking. That's evolved to conducting anti-terrorism efforts hand in hand with the oil industry to protect Canadian economic interests. We don't have ways to conduct surveillance massively against actually home grown terrorists who want to hurt people, because they're not important to CSIS or RCMP. Not that massive surveillance is a good measure either, chances are we police did suspect something they wouldn't have enough to act upon it. Information gathered through intelligence operations don't hold up in court that well because they're often obtained illegally or without reason, because police are investigating a future crime not one that's been committed. We should solve our social issues through comprehensive programs that make society a good place to live in. In the interim we should remove the means to easily commit mass murder.

Making society a good place to live in is going to necessarily involve greasy fuckin incels not getting laid, it's going to involve immigration, it's going to involve demanding that people put the interests of society ahead of their own whims, and that's going to generate the kind of anger that causes these fuckin pin-dicked assholes to go on shooting sprees or whatever. Wide availability of therapy, life counseling, free activities like sports, a society that expects young people to funnel into other physical recreation groups following high school so they don't get lonely, a job system that allows for that, wider classes at younger ages about responsible entertainment and internet use etc. Basically creating systems that prevent alienation and a robust mental health net that doesn't carry stigma. That would probably help.

Yeah basically you can change the rules of the game of capitalism a bit, but the game still is and always will be making profit off of the unpaid labour of some one. That fact means that even though we can't imagine or spectate what they will be, efficiencies and externalities will be found elsewhere to circumvent the intention of regulation, creating disparity.

PT6A posted:Fine, have it your way. I’m not going to continue wasting my limited and precious time on Earth continuing to engage with this den of negativity. People aren't 'being negative' here, they're trying to explain to you that poverty is a cause for a host of mental health issues, not just cohesion of families and general loneliness. If we correctly identify the causes of some mental health issues, and fix them, then we can effectively cure or prevent many mental health issues. If poverty causes mental health problems, than solving poverty solves mental health problems. Giving us an actionable goal (solving poverty through legislation, revolution, protest, whatever) to help reduce mental health problems.
