do yall also know that #india ranks among the highest nations for suicide rates?

...the top ranking rate is in the colonized nation of #Lesotho ...yes. thats in southern #africa.

...predictably most of the nations highest ranked in #suiciderates are also brutally #colonized under systemic oppressions....some from all sides and some planted within by direct and indirect colonizers (ie. "regime changes" and "militant patrol gangs")

Wyoming tries to address high gun #suiciderates

For most of the last decade, #Wyoming has also had one of the highest suicide rates and, specifically, high #gunsuiciderates. #Firearms are used in roughly 75% of suicides in the Cowboy State, compared with just over 50% nationally.
