I post this because a lot of incels legitimize the idea of suicide as a viable option. And me, I think that's fucked up. But this article might be a sign that society is starting maybe redefine its stance on the value of life? We used to think "You should try to be healthy, live as long as you can." Then we were like "Well, we all have our time to go." But this guy is like "Not only do we all have our time to go, but we should pray that its soon." And this guy isn't being held up as some insane extremist. His article basically goes into why you should hope to die before you get old. And he tells his kids this. What kind of thing is this to tell your kids? "Hey kids, Dad better not be around by 2032! I sure hope I'm dead by then! Why are you crying? All I'm saying is I hope to leave you all behind in a few short years."
If we can go so far as to treat viewpoints like this as "normal," how far away are we from suicide booths at every subway station and bus stop?
