No, I wasn't referring to her. FFS. Like I understand why you would say that, because him considering his own suffering is just too selfish to be taken into consideration when asking why he did it, and us considering it as a part of his decision making process or that laws and systemic issues line this shit up like bowling pins? Noo! That's not allowed when considering motive... he's just EVIL which is a scientific term and influenced by SATAN because he DIDNT VOTE REPUBLICAN and probably LIVED AMONGST IMMIGRANTS /s
Like seriously, Americans are fucking stupid sometimes.
Nah, usually the "wants to end the suffering" is referring to a suffering person dying or being killed, especially when an extremely sick person died in the event being described. Sometimes it's used to reference just drugging yourself up beyond safe limits to remove chronic pain, generally also a very sick person. It's pretty much never used to refer to killing someone else to free yourself from debilitating financial obligations. This isn't an American thing, this is a poor word choice thing.
He is evil. He may have been suffering as well due to the evil system we live in and wouldn't be in a humane system, but he could have just walked away or declared bankruptcy or divorced her or killed himself. All of those things are still harmful to her, but they're better than being murdered. Whatever his hurts were, she didn't deserve that. A bad circumstance doesn't mean you can murder an innocent person you vowed to love and support and not be a bad person.
The 1% are using every possible method to dumb down our population. Be grateful it’s not happening in your country yet.
Having lived in America for all my life, what I can say is that most Americans are way more reasonable, kind, logical, and empathetic than you. But that's really faint praise. You probably hate Americans so much because you see yourself in them so much.
