In my part of the world (western United States) ...
"Any other examples I can add?"
... I do not know of a greater example than the infamous statement from Richard Lamm, governor of a well known state out here, of the elderly being "useless eaters" who had a "duty to die."
As might reasonably be expected, it stirred up a "firestorm" of controversy ...
One aspect of the hypocrisy of people like Mathus can be simply stated. Given their focus on humans being a "plague" on good ole "Mother Earth" and, therefore, needing to die, you would think they would jump at the chance (off a cliff maybe?) to "lead by example!" Right? 🤷♂️
NO, no, no, noooo ... "YOU" need to die! "ME?" I'm good!! 🙄
The natural role of the elderly was to teach the youngest. To pass the knowledge, the lifetime experience, traditions, memories, a sense of connection to ancestry, etc. To help the next generation establish their roots. To become strong.
Severing that connection seems kind of useful to certain ends.
🌄 Good morning (here in UTC -7) ☕ Nice to "hear" from you, @manoldonchev.
Indeed. Espoused today by a generation raised with the barbaric (hmmm, I wonder what my opinion of it is?) notion that abortion is ... "normal?" Or at least ... "necessary?" As the legacy of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, of whom it was once written (my paraphrase, from memory, but pretty close):
Today, in America, we have "right to die" states, where one would go, if they wish to end their lives "voluntarily." As @ecoinstant has written and to your point, how much longer do you think it will remain anywhere close to "voluntary," in their zero sum philosophy of what is "right?" And what is "good?"
Agreed. Vitally important, right behind this, is what were they teaching them?
