it's kind of funny that this is used as a knock on other countries when every company in america is quite happy for you to die by suicide or otherwise on the job. we have a term in our vernacular for workplace suicides where the worker kills their coworkers while they do it
Looking at the bigger picture I hate realizing this sort of thing sometimes.
China gets mocked for suicide nets(and like no one even questioned if it was real or not) but the US legit has workplace shootings that often end up with suicide.
I'm still mad about how ridiculous the "communism is bread lines" train of thought is because we have food banks, soup kitchens and church food based outreach in our great United States of America. If food insecurity is a symptom of a failed state well guess the fuck what? And that's not even covering the fact that Russia has breadlines during and after the transition to capitalism after the USSR was desolved. So again it was a direct result of how bad capitalism is at food security.
"Under capitalism only the poors need to visit food banks, but under Communism even respectable middle class people like me would need to wait at breadlines"
What's the term, is it going postal or is there another one? Because I haven't heard people say that much anymore
that is the term, it's not as popular anymore because we have so many exciting varieties of stochastic terrorist acts there's trouble dividing them
That's true, what we need more these days is a word for schoolchildren blasting their classmates or fascists shooting up a church
But it’s just like squid game which makes it more wholesome chungus
wasnt the suicide nets from a building owned by a taiwanese company?
i don't see how that's relevant if the PRC sets the labor standards and building codes, tbh
My Western country university had to put up suicide nets and barriers in the atrium of its newest building because at least two students tried to jump off after an exam.
