Austerity measures implemented in all countries of the world following the 2008 financial crisis caused many countries other than America to have death selected as the price of weakness. As you may know, the European sovereign debt crisis of the 2010s caused Europe's leaders to declare that it was too high to maintain the cost of the social services that supported its population. As a result, austerity measures were implemented all across Europe, including Greece, Spain, and Italy. Because of this, fascist parties began to occupy the parliaments of Europe in the late 2010s, albeit at smaller numbers than North America initially. Suicide rates across Europe have increased at a slower rate in Europe since the 2008 financial crisis than in the Americas or Western Asia. The imposition of austerity measures leads to poverty which then leads to fascism.
