I went to highschool in Utah, every year we had at least one assembly about suicide prevention. We had more depending on if a suicide happened in one of the counties nearby. Not one for each since that would have taken a while.

There was a month or two where there were like six pretty rapid fire and one by a student at our school. We’d already had an assembly pretty recently, so they didn’t have another one. It was a very quiet week, but then everything went back to normal, as always.

Anyway if you’re wondering why it’s that bad in the Great Basin region of the US the answer is Mormonism, and lack of education/resources especially in rural areas.

The assemblies I mentioned weren’t “this is how you can deal with things” they were “no one in their right mind would do this, suicide and thinking about it is weak and stupid so stop” or they were “god doesn’t want you to die” neither were effective.

Then again I wouldn’t expect effective solutions from people who are the problem. Not sure any amount of words from men who use “gay” and “queer” as an insult would help queer kids feel like living in that hell was better than death.

Oh and if anyone is wondering, this was less than a decade ago, not in the very distant past. I think most of the staff in my highschool are still the same, and the majority of the residents in the town certainly haven’t moved, physically or “spiritually.” Honestly, with the trump rhetoric they’ve probably gotten worse.

I’m slowly coming back to this. I think I’m building a tolerance to my meds :(

Take the deal, Fry! If there's a delicious cake, isn't it better to have one slice than none at all? Even if four other guys eat the other four slices, and they're all thrusting their sweaty naked bodies against the cake?

“Take the deal, Fry! If there's a delicious cake, isn't it better to have one slice than none at all? Even if four other guys eat the other four slices, and they're all thrusting their sweaty naked bodies against the cake?”

Is this typical? I’m a dude and I thoroughly enjoy running my hands over every inch of the girl I’m with. Maybe not like lower legs or like forearms, but basically everywhere else.

Sidenote: I am on the ace spectrum so perhaps this is related to aesthetic attraction to women more than sexual attraction? But then again, I feel like wanting to trace my hands down a girl’s torso is most likely the latter not the former…

It’s from “How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back” the episode where Hermes gets replaced by a different bureaucrat that has a fling with Fry. She’s the one who orders Bender to take the professor for a walk.

Technically you don’t see bender throw the professor (in this episode at least), just hear him talk about it before he starts badmouthing Morgan Proctor.

“Oh she’s right behind me isn’t she?”

“No I'm in front of you”

“Eeeee!”

This is a quote from Futurama.

Bender (a criminally inclined robot) was ordered to take Professor Farnsworth (a 160yo professor) on a walk though the park. This quote is him regaling the experience.

Societies have inertia. Without a force for change, they will not change. Maybe they would tend towards communism but it would be incredibly slow. Most people resist change and the amount of change required to shift even just a single state in the US from where it is at now to communism would be immense.

The amount of effort and required learning would deter many people and if you’ve removed the racketeering of the bourgeoisie, then they’ve you’ve lost the stick and don’t have a carrot.

Killing billionaires won’t undo the decades of “communism bad” and it doesn’t specifically bolster communism either. Hell, if you made people aware that you were killing billionaires to support communism you’d deter more people because “it’s just wrong to kill people”

Furthermore le petite bourgeoisie commit much less obvious sins in the eyes of the masses, but still support and defend capitalism. As billionaires fall, that class becomes larger. You’ll likely end up killing all the way down to small business owners before you’d reach the communist future you desire, and you’d have become the enemy of almost everyone left alive well before then.

You’re also making the same error as Light if you rely on people “getting the plot.” You are building a system that only works while you’re there to provide the threat. It will not last and it will fall to pieces again as soon as you’re gone.

Trees that never dealt with wind will break in the weakest of storms. If you want to fix the world permanently, you cannot do so by simply removing all obstacles magically. When those obstacles return your world will be even less prepared than they were before.

Lastly you make the assumption that you are capable of understanding the whole world, the political and cultural climate of every country, well enough that you can stop or adequately manipulate all the “bad” people and make sure the good ones are protected. You are not omniscient. This is not possible. You are bound to kill innocents in an effort to complete this endeavor, and you are certainly never going to kill every psychopath or misguided individual who fully supports capitalism.

You are Kira because you are holding onto the belief that if you just murdered enough “bad” people, the world would suddenly become and stay a better place, when in reality it’s just temporarily suppression. Those who would worship you would worship you for your power and dominance not for any doctrine of community or empathy. Even Those who you tried to help may face the fear that they’ll do something “against the party” and you’ll end them for it.

But hey maybe it could work, maybe the world would become a temporarily better place with less pain and destruction, but Light could make the same argument.

You are still slaughtering others under the delusion that somehow it will fix everything, that you would play the part of god perfectly and bring to pass a new world.

To paraphrase L: “I can guess your motive and why you're doing this. But what you're doing is evil.”

Check your epistemology. You think that if billionaires just died out without the need for the proletariat to rise up and come together you would somehow end up with a world in which the proletariat would know to rise up and come together to stop it from getting bad again?

If anything you’d be lessening the spirit of revolution because you would be literally robbing the proletariat of it. You’d get more neoliberals and people who say shit like “see it all works out in the end” building a prime environment to slip right back into fascism when you die and stop enforcing the billionaire death penalty.

And if by “let the communists implement communism with no organized opposition” you meant slaughtering people who were opposed to whatever specific brand of communism you wanted most, I think Kira might be hiding in your mirror…

Has no sociological imagination

The initial ideas that drive him in the beginning are that people are no longer functioning in a larger social structure and that their true beliefs don’t reflect the way they typically act “most people would say ‘it’s just wrong to kill people’ but on the inside…”

kills people en masse without considering what might be driving them towards criminality in the first place.

He’s literally able to deduce that Yotsuba Kira is not the original Kira (himself) because the original Kira (himself) did take circumstances into consideration and would show mercy and the other Kira did not.

Believes that societies flaws are due to individual failings rather than systemic ones.

He literally bullies the CIA out of operations and if I recall, his actions lead to most global conflicts stopping. He does bring up war as a problem and government corruption as a problem along with corporate corruption occasionally. So I’d say this point is pretty off the mark too.

Operates purely under the definition of criminality set by the state.

He (and Mikami) literally slaughter a huge organization that is ripping people off in the name of Kira. Their scam was legal, but it was evil, so they died. He kills 21 FBI agents because they’re annoying him. He kills multiple cops and law enforcement that were otherwise innocent. And, as aforementioned, he takes pity on criminals who were convicted but had understandable circumstances. While his morals may overlap with the state they are definitely not “purely” set by the state.

White

Japanese. However this one is probably the most accurate statement in this image. He is a rich kid from a stable family, is not a minority in his country, and if he receives any bias it is positive and not predjudiced against him.

Disincentivizes criminality using fear tactics rather than rehabilitation and economic incentives…

It’s called a deathnote not an infinite-source-of-economic-and-medical-resources.

Says he’s going to start killing homeless people

I do not recall this but maybe I’ve simply forgotten.

Anyway, I tend to dislike people who try to pick out random specifics like this. You shouldn’t hate him because he’s not going about things efficiently or without considering other perspectives or whatever else. You should hate him because he’s a manipulative bitch with an obsessive god complex that leads him to cause massive amounts of pain and suffering to those around him and the rest of the world too.

He knows that people are corrupt that they’ve rotted the world and that it just tends to become like this. So he should know that no matter what, the world will fall right back into chaos unless he lives forever, which again he knows he won’t.

He is either completely beyond reason, blinded by the idea he can truly fix the world in a way that clearly won’t work, or much more likely he just wants to be god and just uses morality/justice to rationalize this desire.

He's not a bad person because he’s slightly inconsiderate or believes in state set laws. He's a bad person because he’s willing to slaughter thousands of people just to feel powerful.
