Maybe this is a little bit exaggerated and sort of populistic but I am pretty angry. I have made some months ago a thread when I was happy about the welfare reform in my country. It is far away from the defintion of a life with dignity according to social organizations in my country. But even this reform was blocked today. I am pretty sure I cannot hold a job due to my fragile brain and poverty will be a huge reason for my suicide. I know I am privileged to live in Germany and I am thankful for that. However my life quality is already very low. Currently my parents give me money but when they die I will ctb. If I lived on welfare I could not enjoy my hobbies, see my friends, could not eat the food I want etc. I could not even take the train because it is too expensive. As I said my mental health condition tortures me daily and some of my hobbies can help me to cope. I am pretty sure I am unable to survive on welfare after a short period of time. This new reform was kind of promising. Still no dignified life but there were improvements for sure. It could have postponed my suicide for some years. Maybe even prevented it but admittedly that is unlikely.
However the conservative party supported by some journalists started a campaign to agitate against this welfare reform. People who deserved to be mentioned: Friedrich Merz, Markus Söder, Jens Spahn and Hermann Gröhe. These 4 are from the conservative party. All of them are against assisted suicide in order to protect vulnerable people. I would like to add insults against them but insults of politicians are against the law in my country.
I was surprised how many journalists took part at the campaign against unemployed people. Unemployed people were depicted as lazy, people who live hedonistic etc. Though it is fact 1/3 of people on welfare in my country are mentally ill. And all the media outlets usually spam suicide hotlines when writing about suicide.
I don't need platitudes and some warm words. I need real SUBSTANTIAL support and not this bullshit. These are just hypocrites who do this in order to win the next election, sell more newspapers etc.
They are disgusting liars and hypocrites. I despise them. And some of the politicians I mentioned earlier will probably be part of the new government after the next election. Life proves once again it is not fair quite the opposite. People with a disgusting approach towards vulnerable people win. And people like me ctb because of them.
In a country with 10% inflation postponing/ stopping support for vulnerable groups is for me equal to having blood on their hands. It is a known fact that poverty is a main reason for many suicides. They don't give a fuck about vulnerable people. They want to maximize their benefits with this campaign.
By the way there are surveys that said Germans are hesitant or show disapproval towards this reform. But the campaign started way earlier so they were probably influenced by it.
Despite all of that I feel priviliged to live in Germany. Despite the fact that these circumstances will kill me. Others have it way worse. But this treatment is for me no dignified life anymore.
The reform is not fully blocked there will be negotiations. But it is already not enough prevent my suicide. And the new law will probably be way worse.
And you guys wonder why people search for help in suicide forums? I am not surprised by that.
