The insane amount of stupidity with toxic masculinity for all that to happen when all that has to be done is call the Suicide hotline or send out a therapist
Yeah, when leftists talk about defunding the police, we mean that police departments shouldn’t be dealing with situations like that. We should quit wasting money on assault rifles, and instead pay state therapists to be on call for mental health emergencies. Police cannot be adequately trained and equipped for situations like this while also responding to murders and arson and such. The job description is too broad, one person can’t be good at all of those different things. We need to cut the APC budget and put more money into a mental health emergency service.
Not everything is a “MAN PROBLEM”, this is a political issue, and a police state issue, and a capitalist hegemony issue. It’s just easier to dismiss everything as that one nail you think everything is because you took that one online class on hammers.
If you’ve got a few proverbial hours and an active interest in the subject, we could talk about the roots of patriarchy in modern day society and how they influence all of those things.
If you don’t, then I shall shrug and wish you a good day.
Really, a chronic problem on lemmy. People are feminists or communists or bipoc or atheists or linux users, and so literally anything they don’t like, somehow, some way, is caused by the patriarcy/capitalists/racism/organized religion/Bill Gates. But when you start blaming Bill Gates for your stubbed toe, it becomes really obvious that what is actually happening is you are projecting your personal problems onto an external boogeyman as some kind of escapism.
