Ooh, cool whataboutism! It may surprise you to know that a) people can hold two thoughts in their heads at once and b) there are disabled Indigenous people so pitting these things against each other is truly fucked. And ... man, way to tell on yourself bc my archives contain exactly that. I've been boosting Indigenous voices on Indigenous issues, including Canadian Indigenous issues, as long as I've had a Tumblr, and both I personally and my company have fundraised for Indigenous issues for years, including but not limited to raising funds to send one of my nearest and dearest, who is Chiracahua & Dine', to Standing Rock when they needed to get out there and join the Water Protectors.
I don't point that shit out on the regular bc I don't do it for fucking cookies, but it's really just proof that you don't actually give a shit about this stuff in any meaningful way and you're just looking for a "gotcha" to try to distract from the fact that you know this is fucked up.
I am perfectly capable of being angry at politicians for passing this and doctors for signing off on it and bureaucratic bullshit for not helping people, and also at you for being an ableist piece of shit.
My well of righteous fury is deep and endlessly replenishing. My anger is a gift I thank G-d for daily. Being able to be angry at injustice is a blessing I treasure. You can't shame me for it.
But, like, I got shit to do, so I'll keep this brief:
Doctors don't have "mind control" as you sarcastically asked in your tags, but do you not fucking understand that this still makes it really fucked up, and possibly a violation of the Hippocratic Oath, for them to suggest that their patients kill themselves? Do you not understand the concept of "coercion"?
When someone is in the middle of a psychiatric episode, they are literally not in their right mind. Suggesting these things to someone when they're in an episode is deeply fucked, and because episodes can last months, the waiting period is way, way too short.
There have been people who died saying "I don't want to die, but you won't help me live." Multiple. People. There are rafts of links on this post if you wanna see it.
Oh, and in case we're gonna go down the path of "you don't know what it's like," it isn't a secret that I've been living with chronic pain and multiple disabilities, including mental illness, since at least 2013. I do actually know what it's like to be in pain that feels like it's going to go on forever. I do know what it's like to almost die in a hospital.
This is eugenics. This is Aktion T4 come again. This is fucked up. Making excuses for it is fucked up. Invoking other fucked up shit doesn't make this any less fucked up.
G-d, why are people like this?
