…in her youth. Crippled by student loan debt, she took her life on April 2020.

    That was extremely depressing. Being as much of a nuisance as I can to capitalism is probably the one thing that gives me a will to live. My future was already taken from me, the least I can personally do is try to help future generations get their’s back.

      How does someone be a nuisance to capitalism? All I can think of is pitching a tent in a posh neighborhood, trashcan fires, loud music :)

        Principally, of course, by expropriating food from work, giving food to the hot bartender for free, and most fun, agitating discord amongst my coworkers ( ’ω’ )

      I have gotten past my depressive episode last winter. I was never suicidal, but pretty down in the dumps. I truly believe doing my best to take down capitalism, and build socialism is my life’s purpose. I knew college wasn’t for me and I’m already poor, so I don’t have anything holding me back. Right now I am just absorbing books and joining communities, so only the future can tell what will happen.

    Very brutal and honest. I wrote a suicide note in my dark years and I recognize the absolute hopeless feeling this letter carries. It truly feels like there is no getting better when you are at your absolute low.

    Fortunately, I got better and I burned the fucker. It is truly saddening to see this woman could not find a way out due to a rigid system. As someone who does social work I understand that you can’t hire everyone but the black and white thinking of the system does more harm than good. Some of my best coworkers are people who made mistakes or suffered from illnesses like this person. They should absolutely be given the chance.

    Rest in peace.

    This is one of the most disgusting things I have seen in such a long time and I was in tears earlier. I also suffer with suicidality a lot and just, the feelings, like I don’t think “feel” is the correct word, because the desperation, the resignation, it is piercing. What the capitalist and police pigs do to us, do to people who have suffered is abhorrent, and no one should have to suffer like this.

    All I hope now is that she has peace. One day we will avenge her, and avenge everyone who has died under the heel of the capitalist.

    • That’s not really the problem here… obviously, anyone would want their surgeon to be as capable as possible. The issue is that she shouldn’t be forced to work with such severe depression in the first place; she shouldn’t have debt from school or risk facing eviction; she should have had easy access to mental health care; etc.
