TRIGGER WARNING: We have people self immolating because of genocides happening and because people are losing housing. This nation is going down and it’s the greed of the capitalists that’s the cause.

I’m basically in that elderly gentleman’s shoes as far as housing goes. I’m sorry to his family and to him for being pushed into this situation.

Elderly man self-immolates while being evicted.

Housing is a human right.

    So in your opinion, material conditions (such as housing and healthcare) aren’t the cause of the mental health crisis? People just need to talk about it more and it will all go away?

      You read “a good start” and translated it to “the whole solution”?

        To me, the start of a solution must lead to the solution.

        I don’t see how conversations on individual people’s mental health leads to changes in material conditions. To me that reads as “more people need to individually seek or be encouraged to seek therapy” than addressing the material conditions.
