Good morning, I want to talk about a heavy topic for a sec that involves suicide so consider this a content warning and mute thread if you must.

He was not violent himself, but he celebrated the violence and stood cheering with Vanguard and other Nazis. He was outed for this.

The far right has learned about it finally and is up in arms. But they seemingly ignore all the times that they have called on others, particularly trans people, to kill themselves. They ignore all the times they shit on mental illness.

I have an entire folder of Chris Cantwell's posts where he implicitly suggests I should kill myself. And his pinned Gab post is making fun of my friend Molly for speaking out publicly for mental health advocacy. They don't get it both ways

Andrew joined a movement that was built on hate and divisiveness and one which doesn't support its own people. He joined a movement built on hating others, not loving each other.

Suicide is always a tragedy but this case shows just how deeply morally wrong movements built on hate are. Andrew's life had no value to his peers. He had no support.

Suicide is a problem among men and as a feminist I strongly advocate for men to seek mental health support and for men to create environments of support for one another, to destigmatize mental illness. Mental illness isn't weakness and admitting you're struggling isn't a flaw.

Andrew, like many other men in his position, supported and cheered violence before he took his life. Many men who take their lives end up harming others first.

It's not on his doxxers that Andrew is dead. He made his choices and he had to live with the consequences. He could not. He chose a movement that would discard him and use him as a political prop for their hypocritical agenda later.

To all the other men out there struggling: it's ok to struggle. But your struggle is not the fault of people who aren't like you. And joining movements built on hate isn't going to ease your suffering. Those movements are going to put your suffering on others without fixing it.

They are going to use you and discard you just as fast, and no one is going to be sad when you are gone, because your legacy will be nothing but hate. Choose better. You can choose better.
