Canada has killed a man whose only 'fatal' condition was treatable hearing loss. Killed him dead. The government did it to him. Nice, eh?

Our ruling classes in all countries, fucked in the head now after decades of education steeped in collectivist principles, has turned inhumanly, brutally, cruelly evil. They no longer have any human decency left. People are just chips to be eliminated in their push for some imagined ShangriLa. As with all tyrants throughout history, they are profoundly ignorant of the obvious evil of their policies. They see themselves as compassionate and wise saviors of planet earth. This is who Jesus was talking about when he said, "Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they do." They are slaughtering millions while entirely oblivious of the true effect of their "good intentions". What a horrific time to live on our planet.

You think they actually buy the shit they peddle?

This is always the question: ignorance or intent?

When I wrote the above comment, I was thinking about the crowd I was in at a relative's college graduation recently. I was thinking about the "class" as those voting for this bullshit, by whom I was surrounded. In their case, I believe the majority are genuinely ignorant of the consequences of their blind allegiance to the people they "vote for". This would also include the staff at these hospitals. I don't think they are intending to commit murder. They are genuinely blinded by the ideology that "euthanasia is compassionate". What they are doing is still definitively evil (Just Following Orders™), but theirs is the evil of ignorance.

The tighter you get into those actually crafting these ideas, then you get into intent. The people near the top do know what they are doing. They are the sociopaths.

It's a mixture of both. Both are evil, and we are living in very evil times.

When you refer to "they" and "the shit they peddle," it would be helpful to provide more context. However, if you are asking whether people who engage in sales and marketing actually believe in the products or services they promote, the answer can vary.

In some cases, individuals involved in sales and marketing genuinely believe in the value and benefits of the products or services they are promoting. They may have firsthand experience or believe in the company's mission and vision. These individuals often invest time and effort in understanding the features and benefits of the products or services so they can effectively communicate them to potential customers.

On the other hand, there can be instances where individuals involved in sales and marketing may not personally use or believe in the products they promote. In some cases, they may view it as a job and focus primarily on meeting sales targets or earning commissions. This can lead to a more transactional approach, where the emphasis is on closing deals rather than personal conviction.

It is important to note that individual motivations and beliefs can vary greatly, and it would be incorrect to make a blanket assumption about everyone involved in sales and marketing. Some individuals may genuinely believe in the products they promote, while others may have a more instrumental approach.

"THEY" being the politicians. The shit they peddle are promises and how they fail at them.

Politicians are individuals who engage in the process of governing and making decisions on behalf of a group of people or a country. While it is true that politicians often make promises during their campaigns or while in office, their ability to fulfill those promises can vary for a variety of reasons. Here are a few factors that can contribute to the perception of politicians failing to fulfill their promises:

Complex challenges: The issues faced by governments are often multifaceted and complex, requiring time, resources, and collaboration to address effectively. Politicians may encounter obstacles, such as legal constraints, limited resources, opposition from other branches of government, or unforeseen circumstances that make it difficult to deliver on their promises within their desired timeframe.

Compromises and negotiations: Politics often involves compromise and negotiation to gain support for policies or legislation. In order to pass certain initiatives, politicians may need to modify their original promises to accommodate the interests and concerns of different stakeholders. This can lead to perceived deviations from initial commitments.

Changing circumstances: Political landscapes can evolve rapidly, and external factors can significantly impact the feasibility of certain promises. Economic fluctuations, natural disasters, global events, or shifts in public opinion may force politicians to adapt their approaches or alter their priorities, which can result in adjustments or delays in fulfilling promises.

Limited control: Politicians operate within a system that involves various branches of government, bureaucratic processes, and external factors that can limit their control over outcomes. They may encounter resistance or face challenges when implementing policies due to legal, institutional, or systemic barriers beyond their direct influence.

Political calculations: Some politicians may make promises primarily to appeal to voters during election campaigns, knowing that certain pledges may be difficult to deliver. This can create a perception of unfulfilled promises if they prioritize other issues or shift their focus once they are in office.

While it is important to hold politicians accountable for their actions and promises, it is also crucial to consider the complexities of governance and the various factors that can influence their ability to fulfill commitments. Engaging in informed dialogue, participating in the political process, and promoting transparency and accountability can help address some of these concerns.

I wonder increasingly frequently, when we will start to see stories of individuals killing bureaucrats or even elected leaders for allowing/enforcing/enabling stories like this one. We'll see, I guess.
