You are deemed fit and well enough to work until you no longer can, and then you are considered a liability. You are either an input or an output. Useful or useless, worthy or unworthy. A worker or a useless eater. Eugenics has been adopted by left and right for moral and for economic reasons. Where its logic serves the logic of capital accumulation it leads to all kinds of horror.
Whilst I think hes correct in stating that hospital discharge to care homes of covid positive patients happened because hospitals were given guidance to do so, I do not believe their is some deep dark agenda. I believe the state responsible for these deaths, and I believe its manslaughter not genocide.
Whilst I agree that the liverpool care pathway and subsequent European wide guidance may free up hospital beds, I do not think that there is some worldwide agenda to actively kill old people. Yes euthanasia happens, and its happened for years without it being legally sanctioned, but its NOT legal!
I do not believe that there is any logic, joined up thinking, or deep dark agenda.
It is not Bojo and pals who make decisions, sure, we have the state,...ie the civil service, and the state that acts in it's own interest, its whole reason for being is to ensure the maintenance of the capitalist system without which the state has no reason to exist. But again, it's not made up of rational actors of give mind, with joined up thinking and a dark agenda to kill the old.
The logic is, we need people to produce, people to consume. if only the producers could consume everything they produce then we wouldn't need the "useless eaters"
and this is where capitalism and the state part ways, capitalism needs them but the state must underwrite their existence. So, no logic, and little sense in killing off old people. And even if Bill Gates and a few chums thought otherwise, (and maybe he does) he'd be digging his own grave (in economic terms)
