Whats funny with this story is that it was originally circulated that they killed themselves due to medical related debt, then later it came out that they never specified medical debt in the suicide note, just overall debt. So all the right wing news outlets came out with a story about how they lied about it being medical debt, because its fine if they killed themselves because they were in debt, but medical debt is related to the current obamacare debate, so they have to make sure that there is no talk about people killing themselves over medical debt they have to make sure to silence that debate. But if it's just debt slaves who are better off to their kids financially dead than alive killing themselves, well thats not apart of the popular discourse at the moment, so that's fine

Willow: the great majority of regular americans workers and regular average joes and janes I think that suffer from a fake optimism and an occultist anti-scientific kind of hope. (An example of this is the addiction to loto game vending machines). This is a country of crazy wild zombies, who know that capitalism is evil and communism is good. But because most people are social beings and are part of anti-communism social groups. They are affraid of coming out of their political closet and admit to the 4 corners and 4 winds of the USA, that they need communism as possible.
So because people are not still ready to come out of the politics clost and support communism. What people do is to escape to a magical sort of Lord of the Rings world, Harry Potter world, Alice in Wonderland magical world, because that way they won't suffer the evil painful truth, that the only way that they can rise physically (getting in shape, thin and fit). economically (with more cash in pockets as a result of a system of state-owned services), and spiritually (with a socialistic way of life of love and unionism in their own neighborhoods) is thru supporting an ultra-leftist organization and helpin that ultra-leftist organization rise to political power, to the White House
So because seeing a communist labor party ruling USA is so hard and requires so much physical power, even physical fights, armed fights, violent armed conflicts within USA. People then twist reality in their own brains, and really believe that they can rise to become George Clooney, TaylorSwift, tom Cruise, middle class doctors an middle class high salary lawyers, within the laws of capitalism (by working 12 hours a day)
