These are three issues in the news over the last week that have caught my attention: England and Wales assisted dying bill formally launched in House of Commons - Harriet Sherwood | The Guardian | 16.10.24 and: Anger and confusion over Kendall’s comments on sending work coaches into mental health hospitals
One of the more abhorrent aspects to society, the reduction of people to units of labour and the ubiquitous notion that this is a good. The banality of the "workforce" ejects many of us. The repulsive repetitive nature of work for work's sake is traumatic. It seems a no win game for those incapable of being employed.
While there are certainly people whom fit the "selfish boomer" stereotype, I've spoken to a lot of them,I believe that all age groups are now being cultured and brainwashed to be more narcissistic and unfriendly through electronic devices and the algorhytms that drive them,which means that speaking to "young people" can be more than equally horrifying!
But I still talk to "everyone" and what I notice is that some people now become frightened or suspicious if you try to be "equaly friendly to everyone", so clearly there is a shift in the way people communicate ,and the only way to break through is to keep "communicating with everyone past their bubble", to keep pushing.
As a 69 year old your role will be even more important than it has been in the past, because everyone needs "seniors" to tell stories around what is now the modern campfire, and keep in your mind, all the concepts,things and experiences that they try to terraform or memory hole out of modern consciousness,particularly how human beings were before the advent of so called "modern communication technology"While suicide is a personal matter, and the state shouldn't exist at all, "compassionate dying" in the hands of a homicidal state apparatus will always manifest as eugenics and "cleansing of the weak".
One thing I've always thought was funny about British society(although not ha ha funny), as a foreigner,is that the whole "eat shit peasant we are clearly living in a fuedal system" is clear, even when it tries to mask it self as a "liberal democracy" it always shines through, unlike the "cozy" repression of social democracy where I'm from.

And one thing to remember, even though the road ahead is dark and we're all really tired, it's not a steady decline into dystopia, humanity goes in waves, we are currently in a wave of repression, and their pathetic plans will fail as the natural tide of human resistance will take the waves further from shore.
The ideology of people as ‘burdens’ extends the whole lifecycle. In the younger years Social Impact Bonds via Impact Investors target specific cohorts of youth predicted to become ‘burdens’ on society. Then Impact Investors place money on behavioural change ‘interventions’. And when they are deemed a success the Investor gets a Return on Investment. I discuss this with Kate Mason (see her Substack @deconstructing 4IR narratives ) in two episodes on YouTube. https://youtu.be/Y2-qwT5s77I?si=mlDprKg3AKYwgzJb
