I don't even know honestly where to start.

1. "as someone who is atheist/nihilist/suicidal". Describing yourself as suicidal is not a great introduction, go and see a doctor. Self-termination is not a "normal" feeling.

2. "I see no reason not to put down humans who have malfunctioned" - See point 1. Also, non third-world countries should have a justice system which would aim to recover individuals instead of "putting them down" or "making them pay/suffer". You might be stuck during middle-age if you think otherwise.

3. "There's enough effort to focus on progressing those who do buy into constructivism; those who don't wish to participate should exile themselves from society rather than lash out in deconstructivism" - again I don't even know where to start. Like if life was not difficult. Such a superficial view on life.

"I don't honestly know where to even start"

maybe next time try starting with some empathy.

Empathy in what sense? Not taking someone who is "suicidal" in such a direct way?
your post is peppered with insensitivity and condescension. the kind of behavior that typically drives people to become antisocial in the first place.

I am not trying to be overly critical. I don't sense you are a bad person. maybe just uninitiated :).

the line between "direct" and "insensitive" becomes so much more clear only once you've experienced a similar depression.
