      It will eventually be about killing people who are too expensive to treat. Eg, Euthanasia for Mental Health issues or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

      It’s already happened with abortion. Unborn babies are labelled “undesirables” and “not human” and can be murdered

              It is a tool to be a “cheaper alternative” to actual healthcare. Abortion is similar. A tool as an alternative to offer affordable housing, education, childcare, etc. these are all framed as “liberation” but it’s just so the billionaires can keep their precious money

                We used to have all those things. It was the petit bourgeoisie that voted to have that all taken away.
