I’m going to hope it’s about wanting to kill ourselves all the time, because if it becomes taboo I hope it’s because we have actually managed to make life better and thus suicide rates drop, but I honestly don’t know if we will get any better tbh
“There are no taboos against taking one’s life here,’ said the Night Haunter. ‘Many do. This is not a happy world. But it can be a better one. By killing yourself, you take the easy way out, you encourage others to do the same. You might think you add yourself to a statistic, but your self-murder is much more than that. Every suicide adds to the rot weakening your culture. Every life abandoned is a signal that change can never be effected. You throw your existence away, and in doing so lessen the value of humanity.”
Heh, as someone who deals with suicidal ideation daily, our collective devaluation of humanity drives my disgust. While our planet burns, human civilizations embrace imminent extinction (and the irrelevance of all current culture) to preserve the current power hierarchy.
Nothing we do today will matter including those efforts to reduce the effects of a looming cataclysm and population correction until we collectively achieve a high threshold that significantly reduces its effects. Nothing in this case includes both my choice to kill myself and my choice to live another day.
This time doesn’t matter until a huge number of us decide to collectively make it matter.

Proceeds to de-skin suicidal woman slowly.

Quick question, what the fuck?
It’s warhammer 30K, and the person talking is Batman if he was a superhuman/angel designed specifically to be the best Batman possible.
Ooh, that’s a good one! Now I hope so, too!
