also this guy

>on the night on April 1, 1876, Mainländer hanged himself in his residence in Offenbach, using a pile of copies of The Philosophy of Redemption (which had arrived the previous day from his publisher) as a platform.

>Can one live a philosophy of the nihilistic, reconciling meaninglessness with every thought and emotion at every moment? If active unbelief were the highest organizing principle of a life, would the consequence be rational self-destruction? Could suicide represent the pinnacle of the rational life realized?
Can anyone fault this logic?

HEGESIAS

Franco Bifo Berardi wrote a book called 'Heroes: Mass Murder and Suicide' that is an excellent explanation for the explosion in suicide rates during the last 20 years of global capitalism.

Honestly cannot recc this one enough, it literally saved my friend's life.
