    Eugenics in a nutshell. He’s just one step away from calling them “useless eaters.”https://twitter.com/jamft/status/1340362479197593600 …

    You do realize that very old people who are very ill die regardless? Question is, are you willing to injure millions of young and healthy people in the process of giving those ill and old people a few more months, until the next virus comes along? pic.twitter.com/ptL2HXPjqV

        Yep. He thinks they’re useless eaters. Whenever you see an appeal to nature and the “real world” in the context of saying someone is “virtue signaling” when he objects to just letting the elderly die, you’re getting into Nazi territory.https://twitter.com/jamft/status/1340364450373627904 …

        Talk about denial of nature and the real world. Take your virtue signalling and shove it up your ass. Bye.

        Advocates of social Darwinism often react this way then it is pointed out that what they are peddling is Social Darwinism.https://twitter.com/jamft/status/1340691412526845954?s=20 …

        You think being compared to a genocidal maniac just for pointing out reality, backed by numerical facts, should elicit any other answer? Don't waste my time.

        For pointing out that "very old people who are very ill die regardless?" I thought that was common sense. Do you know a world in which very old people who are very ill do not die? What world would that be? Please, feel free to enlighten me.

        Do you realize everyone dies. You could die later today and and not remember it tomorrow.

        ? no it isn't 😂 don't be ridiculous. There are trade offs...and anyone with a brain knows this. In the most extreme of examples....YES we choose a child over a 95 year old. That is NOT eugenics. If we can save both then we do.

        Although he's Canadian I've seen similar sentiment among Americans. And all I can think of is the hypocritical hand-wringing over supposed "death panels for grandma" in the ACA. Where did all the concern for the elderly go?

        Actually, this isn’t eugenics. The elderly are past reproductive age and letting them die will not effect gene frequency in subsequent generations. I totally agree it is a misinformed, discriminatory, cruel, and selfish... but it’s not eugenics.
