"In the US, nearly 50 per cent of men aged 18–49 use online sports betting. Legalisation of sports betting has led to a tenfold surge in sportsbook spending and elevated credit delinquency among young and disadvantaged men."

50%?! That's insane.

"Men account for 90 per cent of the world's 11.5 million prisoners, suffering elevated rates of mental health disorders and chronic illness. In high-income countries, nine per cent of male prisoners attempt suicide, with post-release mortality spiking due to overdose, suicide, and cardiovascular events"

    The male on male violence stat is insane too, like 85% of violent crimes, are crimes by men against other men.

    Yeah... Living hand to mouth really does destroy your physical and mental health over time.

    It is weird how many younger progressive people are smokers in my area.

    Suicide is illegal, and tough to pull off. So I just have nice fatty steaks and wait for my liver to kill me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    If this is primarily affecting conservatives, then this sounds excellent. My only concern is helping the normal people to avoid these harmful scenarios.

    The problem is that they target young men who aren't anything, they're just broke and trying to stay afloat, and they are easy prey for these predators promising easy money. They get addicted early, get into serious debt, often on top of student loans (which were probably part of the problem in the first place), and now they are trapped for life.

    Find yourself at 25, with a lifetime of debt, and a college degree that's been replaced by AI, and it's easy to see why someone might make a hard choice.

    But don't worry, soon PeeWee Himmler will put troops in Iran, so they can always join the war effort. It's still suicide, but not so direct.

    They're victims. Politicaly, they need someone to show them a better way.

    Awwe. Those poor fascists. I show them a better way every chance I get. I promise you that.

    Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy. They despise empathy and consider it a grotesque weakness. They call empathy "woke" and claim that it's something imaginary, made up by their enemy. Their media even calls it a sin. I'm going to be respectful of their wishes and not show them any more empathy than they would show me.

    They want people like me to die. They've been celebrating the deaths of people like me my entire life. I've been nothing but kind and supportive to them for over 50 years and yet somehow they still consider me their enemy before a word is spoken. They chose the role of enemy for me. They will not allow me to change that role. So, I am their enemy. They insist.

    Conservatives have a violent gestapo and concentration camps here now. That makes conservatives nazis in my book. I will never respect the life of a nazi. Never. Just as they will never respect mine.

    Conservatives are truly, deeply evil. I will treat them as the threat they are.
