      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.

          QALYs are well documented measures in public health. Are they to be censored now for fear of being labelled a Nazi?

          Normally you don't cause all sorts of harm before you use quality of life as a decision-making criteria. You don't crash the car into the wall and the say it has less value.

          Notice how a stock trader puts himself on a level well above Medical Professionals and Epidemiologists in dealing with disease and pandemics? He crossed well into Nazi territory some time ago!

          Surprising how many adopt Logan’s Run as a solution to retirement/homelessness/underfunded pensions.

          I would call his worldview "fascist realism". Big brains like him act like "just stating the facts" has no implications, as if it's a neutral act. This is just a rhetorical trick.
