Didn't have a place to toss out my gum. So I figured F it, I'll just swallow it. It was freaking hard, felt wrong and took a few tries. ( I can swallow 8+ pills at once so that isn't the problem.) My mother told me all the classic things while growing up.
Now imagine that it happened for another 20 years by a 100+ people. Everyone of them you look up too. Every time you express a thought that goes against this programming it is quickly corrected.
Now add into the equation another 100+ topics/views/ideas that reenforce the other ideas.
It quickly becomes a spider web of lies where a person's self-identity/reality is built on. When these threads are pulled on with a funny meme. The web painfully vibrates. If too many are cut then it collapses into a noose and the person is unknowing presented with the option ( literally don't realized that they must reject a truth / fact because if they were to accept it then they must change their reality. This would quickly result in a painful cascade as their world collapses ). After their brain malfunctions they just panic and attack like a wild beast because as far as they know their whole world is under attack. Also it is under attack by memes.
I'm honestly worried that mass suicides is about normies waking up to a shattered world and not being strong enough to continue on realizing that they were unknowingly supporting so much evil.
The key to recovery is to understand that to some extent everyone of us formed our identities based on the false reality we have been fed. For some, it might be "saving the planet", for some it might be "equality" and for some others it might be "modern thinking". Whatever it is, and to whatever extent your identity may have become enmeshed with the popular narrative, its important to understand it, and then accept that you do not need that aspect in your life for you to be the person you are.
Once this really hits home, it will be easy to seperate yourself from your false identities and slowly come to peace with the fact that the World is a lie. Your journey then becomes finding things that really matter to replace these lies to make yourself whole. This has to take some form of spirituality, but each person needs to find their own way to it.
To whatever extent this may be, you also need a period of mourning. Mourning the world you thought you lived it, but which never existed. Its a slow process.
The only people who will commit suicide or go crazy are the ones who cannot separate out the false reality from their own identity. These are probably already severely suffering from mental issues and were using these false ideologies to mask the hollow emptiness they already had in their souls, and there i sonly so much the society owes to them.
