I get that there was a legitimate case for physician assisted suicide, but it's insane how quickly Canada is using it to recreate the mass slaughter of the disabled under the Nazi's.
yeah being pro right to die seemed like a no brainer leftist take and now i don't fucking know. in socialism or communism abso fucking lutely but if this is how it's going to play out under capitalism i might be against it wholesale
I'm against the state criminalizing suicide, but I'm even more against the state enabling suicide. capitalism rests on the fiction that we willingly chose the cruelty and indignity that the system enacts upon us. when this is extended to death, it just becomes another method for culling social chaff.
Counterpoint: "I've got opinions and stuff" is not a valid reason to force people who live in immense suffering to continue to suffer without recourse.
we can still be pro that stuff, the problem is liberals. Not even capitalism this time, you could do welfare capitalism and not have this issue, but somehow the canadians are electing to be nazis aboot it.

I would say that you should not.
I think that the assumption of absolutist personal autonomy as an unalloyed, or unambiguous good in all circumstances is an extremely shortsighted & entirely unwarranted proposition; which is only as prominent as it is in socialist discourses because it's the main way in which the struggle for LGBTQ & Women's rights tend to be articulated (because that's how they have to articulate themselves in order to gain traction within "Western Liberal" society). I don't know that it has actually good outcomes when you try to expand it beyond those specific domains, tbh.

What was the thing about "Social Democracy" again? :thinkin-lenin:
fuck you if i don't want to live anymore i shouldn't be forced to, and I shouldn't be forced to take a painful way out, or a messy one that would traumatize whoever found my corpse.

I was genuinely pro physician assisted suicide until I saw shit play out in Canada

Suicide and euthanasia are separated things.

weird excuse to let capitalists kill people. But I guess it's just my opinion that preventable mass murder of the poor and disabled is a bad thing.

Yeah tbh I didn't think liberal states would be so deranged as to actively coerce people into it but here we are.

i ain't dying a slow and painful death due to Alzheimer's

Appropriate, given their fondness for Nazis and all those fucking statues they have celebrating them.
