"Medical Ethicist" suggests that the entire world should sentence sick and ill Russians to death.
Really makes me feel the Disco Elysium quote about the mask of humanity falling from capitals face right down into my fucking soul, goddamn.
Makes me feel like unironically arguing for the glassing of the united states, just holy fuck if this is the level of shit you are allowed to argue should happen to Russian civilians.
:deeper-sadness:
Does this just feel unreal to anyone else? Like it went so quickly to "kill them all, every single one of them don't let their citizens play videogames or eat burgers, don't let their paralympic athletes in competition, don't even let cats that bear that unspeakable name in their breed anywhere near the non-evil cats"?
Yes but also not really. This is only the beginning. I am confident people in the future will not look favorably upon Americans either, whether it is deserved or not you only need to take a trip around some parts of the third world and you'll see the same level of hate towards westerners.
It is deserved. Westerners know their lifestyle destroys the Global South.
IMO you're wrong about this being pointed at westerners in the future, though. The idea that "they would do it to us if they could" is baseless, and in my experience it's widely believed in the west because it reduces feelings of guilt.

hypocritical oaf :kelly:
we currently have like several times the rate of deaths we had in like 2019 and nobody is thinking about it anymore, because covid is over. it's incredible to think we entered this new treshold of excess deaths and... nothing happened, just more people are dying. I said it before but this was zizek's worst case scenario.
my word he really is a phd in medical ethics. this is horribly depressing to think a human wretch like this has a phd in fucking ethics.
TBH you need some really advanced mental gymnastics to call genocide ethical.
that is a very good point

Honestly besides being evil this shit doesn't work. Wast majority of Russians would never be able to afford fancy anglo medicine anyway and those that can will just go to Israel for treatment.
On the other hand this article will probably be used by pro-establishment people as an example of how much the westoids despise us and want us all to suffer and die.
I mean are they wrong?
This is probably an unpopular opinion here, but I honestly doubt Americans are capable of sustained personal enmity towards white people.
So just reclassify Russians as non-white. You'll probably have to consider Ukrainians and other Slavs as non-whites as well but I doubt a lot of westerners care about that. Americans hate Iranians and classify them as non-white because they hate them.
I know race is a social construct, but you need at least some ability to visually classify people as "ethnic". I doubt you can distinguish a Slav from a German or a Frenchman without a really good set of calipers.
You do not, in fact, need some ability to visually classify people as "ethnic". Remember that for centuries after the invention of race Irish people were not considered White.

Advocating for mass murder of chronically ill civilians because their government engaged in war, god damn, how does he feel about American diabetics I wonder.
Wtf
The US killed a million Iraqis and the death count in Yemen is over 250,000.
Just what the absolute fuck.
