Why would a 1st world country like the US have a higher suicide rate than most 3rd world countries?
We've all thought about it but

This brings up another question though, why do US blacks have such a lower sucide rate than whites?

Life here is awful, especially as a man

Because we're less homogeneous than Africa.

A huge part of anxiety/depression is having both the intelligence and leisure time to contemplate the imperfections of life, society and the human condition. Subhumans are incapable of this contemplation. Suicide is a solution to those sorts of ailments, pathological self-awareness. But if you're too dumb to conceptualise problems let alone form solutions then suicide will never be deliberate.

They're too dumb and selfish to realise that the world is better off without them.

Evola addresses it in RTT. People place the achievement of material as their purpose (capitalism in an individual sense and marxism in a collective sense) once this is achieved though, they are left without a purpose or higher value. If a third world country achieved material means, through either market or socialist economics, they would also be faced with this existential crisis. (Paraphrased)

The United States is in the midst of a suicide epidemic that affects the largest segment of society (white people, in particular white men). For some introductory material, see:

The reason for this is simple: free trade policies have gutted the majority of the working class. Middle aged and older people can't transition to another career, so they succumb to alcoholism and opiates until they commit suicide. Young people have no prospects, and if they want to educate themselves to take up STEM, those jobs are outsourced or they are replaced by cheap H1B visa labor. Exacerbating this is the willingness of doctors throughout the past few decades to prescribe opiates to their patients for the most minor of pain complaints, creating addictions and filling holes that were widened by dwindling economic prospects and a changing culture which downplays and mocks marriage and the image of a happy family (these days, the only family that's celebrated is the one with existential and interpersonal problems)
This is all waxing philosophical without identifying how to make a change, so we have to identify the political party preventing and, if anything, encouraging and promoting this trend: Democrats.
They celebrate and publicly laugh at white men committing suicide in record numbers

Their embrace of free trade policies and sudden disregard for the working class while pushing for cheaper H1B labor and outsourcing is the equivalent of Republican restructuring voting zones while claiming that it has nothing to do with race: it's obvious bullshit to anyone who has enough street smarts to see it
tl;dr Dems are pushing policies targeting white men and encouraging them to commit suicide

- have to live in miserable suburbs.
- easy access to guns to end it.

This contributes to the issue but is hardly the damning factor. Other developed countries don't see these rates of suicide and this sudden spike in particular. The big exception is Japan, which as of late has seen a plateau and, if anything, a reduction in suicide rates.
The suicide epidemic in the United States is unique when compared to countries of this ilk

They kill each other before they kill themselves and have no self-awareness

I think why some countries (like us for example) who are weak economicly but safe and more harmonic is because of the culture itself, in Morocco, there no such thing as "free" or "welfare", you'll die of hunger if you just sit around all day shitpos---SHIT.
We're actually more scared of islamisation than those immigrants welcome cucks, we report people for having a fucking beard, or wearing a burqa, we live in close up neighborhoods and anyone acting aloof or weird is reported.
And that's why we had 0 terror attacks since this shit started.
