    Obviously it’s because China and North Korea, being totalitarian dictatorships, have made suicide illegal and punishable by death!

    (I have literally met someone who thought that suicide is punishable by death in China. Like if you try to kill yourself and survive they’ll finish the job for you.)

      I always find it fascinating how readily people in the west will believe the most patently absurd things about countries they’ve been told to hate.

        And it’s of course projection as always, for example, suicide was illegal in UK till 1961, and most other western countries also criminalised it at some points in the past.

    Those downvoters would be very radicalized if they could absorb information critical of capitalism.

    A quick search on google proved really quickly that these numbers are incorrect.

    Feel free to look it up yourself.

        Awesome now explain the correlation between these rates and your claim. Maybe you can help me out by telling me the methodology of gathering this information and how truthful the reporting actually is.

          The reason you’d have more suicides is because more people are unhappy with their lives to the point where they want to end them. Meanwhile, even if we don’t the exact reason, we can see that there is a statistically difference in outcomes between two systems. Let me know if you need this explained in simpler terms.

      Reason: Mis or disinformation. These numbers are not correct.

      Seeing how you found such evidence, feel free to provide it, or it didn’t happen.

        I don’t want to be accused of fudging the numbers. Everyone here is capable of using a search engine and exploring one of many helpful websites that tracks suicide rates around the world.

        The interesting thing you’ll find is which of the two countries OP fudges the numbers on even tho their “point” wouldn’t need the help.

          Now I’m even less convinced that you actually did “a quick search on google.”

              You understand that you’re reporting me to myself, right?
