It can be both! And a problem with bullying in schools. And lack of ways to escape poverty. But having any changes that affect any of those things is verboten to the places where land gets more of a vote than people in cities do.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m for gun control. I just believe that if we lived in some utopia with zero mental health issues, it wouldn’t be an issue regardless.

Therapy and meds can't fix poverty perpetrated by the ruling class.

But I generally agree.

And did you know utopia means "place that cannot exist" while eutopia means "a perfect place". Not correcting you, I just think it's funny that euphemistic drift has flopped it fucky.
