MODERATORS
Reading into a bit of your question regarding societal rifts and divisions causing thoughts is suicidal ideation I believe there have been suicides that have attempted to bring issues, especially social and political, to light, and it genuinely doesn't feel like they've effected any change. It's much more beneficial to devote ones self to servicing change than to give up entirely, if you can't find a way to affect change locally (you aren't looking hard enough, or willing to sacrifice for a cause) there is an entire planet of people, most of whom can benefit from the knowledge and resources gifted to the average 1st world citizen, look at joining the peace Corp or doctors without borders, the conversation core, if you're willing to sacrifice your life for a cause, why not do it while living? It will bring happiness and progress to people, rather than leaving people with shock and sadness that most will write off in seconds, and some will have to carry with them forever.
