"Well akshually they just hide it, the real suicide rate is way higher and they lie to look good. I know this because as a rando on the internet I have access to ultimate truth, and am not just reflexively defending my own learned biases in the face of contrary evidence."

Unfalsifiable orthodoxy. If the numbers were switched, and the socialist countries had the higher suicide rates, none of these liberals would be talking about "lies, damned lies, and statistics."

You’re not going to see a significant suicide rate, if the people who might kill themselves, are killed by something else first. Mostly looking at NK.

Or they just pretend that every Designated Bad Country is mad max. No matter what the actual data is, liberals will tell themselves a story about how it's actually evidence of the opposite. Believe science, until the science says they're wrong: then the science is lies because everybody knows Communism Bad. It's an unshakeable religious belief in the inferiority of other countries and systems. Blue MAGA indeed.
