These are the times that try men’s souls… Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered.~ Thomas Paine, American Crisis, 1776If you’ve watched or attended a town hall meeting recently, you’ve seen unfiltered outrage over Musk and DOGE. Cutting costs to improve government efficiencies is one thing, who...
What a horrifying thing to say. To me this reads as if the cost of the lives of the elderly and disabled folks (not your own country’s disabled or elderly folks, of course) who rely on social security and other federal and federally funded programs is well worth what you consider to be a desirable outcome. Its not realistic and it feels bloodthirsty. Please tell me if I’m misunderstanding.
Bloodthirsty? Lol. You guys are hilarious. Those old people are getting exactly what they voted for. Asking for pity from abroad is futile and utterly pathetic. What I outlined is literally the shortest through this madness, probably with the least total damage. That you find that reality distasteful is irrelevant.
You don’t seem to care much about the incalculable damage done to (and over time the rapid expansion of) the disabled population caused by the cult of capitalism and any and all consequences of the perpetuation of said cult. I find that to be pretty horrific honestly, it affects me personally and many people I know and care about, so I take a lot of care not to perpetuate harm by taking steps to understand the ways that harm comes to people and the part I play in that. “Distasteful” is an understatement.
That damage is incoming and clutching your pearls over my comment isn’t going to change that.
