We’ll save money on out-of-control healthcare costs if the elderly just died instead of lingered. A tree needs to have the dead or dying branches pruned or they’ll endanger the trunk. The elderly are willing to sacrifice themselves for the economy; that’s what the Lt. Governor of Texas said during COVID.
Not supporting this perspective, but I’ve heard social darwinists say “the weak should fear the strong” and other horrid shit unironically.
These types people always talk as if they're immune to sudden, life-changing events. It's all fun and games until some random a-hole hits you while driving drunk and makes you permanently disabled. Maybe you're unlucky and have your entire city/neighbourhood burn down from an uncontrolled wildfire.
I know this type of scary talk. It also comes up when people talk about assisted suicide. Some people on the fringe believe it would be a good option for addicts, the homeless, etc.
They believe it's a rational standpoint. In reality they ignore the consequence this approach would have for our society on a psychological level.
I shoukd always have the right to choosing a comfortable death though. Otherwise I'll have to go walk into the woods and hope mother nature isn't cruel that day.
