#12When I read about Inuit culture of non-violence in the 20th century [1], and wheb I read about them today [2], I have this disgusted feeling that Western culture of drugs and anger is like a virus that spread into their completely non-immunized population. A bit like the diseases brought into the new world in the 19th century, but this time psychological. [1] https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674608283…
Fully agree.
For some inventions, such as LSD-trips for your lunch break, I truly wonder how people can be so f-ed up that they consider that a good idea. But then again, I see so many people with depressing faces every day, it's hard to deny that we have widespread psychological sanity issues in our society.
BTW, it's not just Inuit having high suicide rates:
"Suicide among teens and young adults reaches highest level since 2000" https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/suicide-among-teens-and-...
"CDC report: Suicide rate among teen girls at all-time high" https://abc7.com/teen-suicide-girl-teenage-suicides-at-all-t...
"Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S., with more than 41,000 Americans taking their own lives each year and more than 494,000 Americans receive medical care for self-inflicted injuries." https://www.medicaldaily.com/suicide-america-high-rate-teen-...

The documentary "The Economics of Happiness" [1] deals with this subject but in the context of Ladakh. Specifically how the introduction of globalized culture introduced sentiments of poverty, unworthiness, cultural repression, and substance abuse within the Ladakh community.

#14Kind of random but none the less still horribly brutal.

#15The treatment of native and african Americans in the North American continent is so unjust and severe, and has been persistent for decades in a way that it's almost like a long drawn-out genocide.
> decades
Centuries.

Our culture is going down the tubes. However, since the current systems benefits the .01% at the expense of the 99% its full speed ahead with no course correction.

What is the police department's motive for the killings? It's left out in the article.

"I see so many people with depressing faces every day"
How much information are you making up based on how a persons face subjectively looks to you? How someone's face looks is a superficial thing and really doesn't give you any solid information.
