Is there anything more pathetic than decrepit old people that can't even walk 10 feet, desperately holding on to life burdening the health care system by going to a different specialist every week?

Once it's your time to go, you should go. Objectively once you hit the age of 70 you should pretty much be gassed.

What about all the people over the age of 70, who can live at home by themselves, needing no assistance whatsoever?

Can we extend the euthanasia service to people of all ages as well? We kinda need to purge the white nationalists who are a burden to the great country like America. They are a burden to the whole world.

What's with the 'new' trend where people have to be gassed if you don't like them?

What, are you supposed to be alive just so you can contribute to your spooky ideology or some other bullshit?

I like old people. And I feel I'm the only one.
I get it 'boomers, bla bla', 'muh burden on society'. I don't understand how you can dislike old people. At least the majority of them.

I like old people too, honestly the best guys to banter with is that one 75+ year old guy at the bar, but past a certain age they're just hard to look at as the arrow of time consumes their bodies. And let's not even get into Alzheimer's which is a whole other kind of horrific.

I don't dislike but the fact remains that they are a massive burden on the taxpayer. I wouldn't advocate gassing them but i definitely don't agree with the culture we have were limbering on until your a walking corpse with 30 operations on your belt is seen as normal. People should die with dignity and not burden others
>>
>>2249798
I actually do dislike most old people but I don't want to gas them. IME they tend to be frustratingly stubborn and uncompromising, personally sensitive yet harsh to others, give unhelpful advice constantly, have hysterical opinions on things they're uneducated about and just generally be annoying.

I'd rather live in a society that takes care of the people in the society, especially if given the choice. Also if they are old and don't contribute (anymore).
>>2249820
Yes, but unless an old person is very demented, they can still live very fruitful lives.

My argument is based on emotion, obviously. I actually grew up around old people, my grandparents, who are still with it.

To this day I feel very sorry for old people and instantly want to care about them.

>>2249842
I don't care if they live "fruitful lives" (which obviously means "they go to the park and have a dog in the house"), they are a drain. And beyond that, it's just sad to see people limbing on, their bodies are totally ruined and should be allowed to die. By all accounts they are grotesque. I don't understand why they continue. I could not walk up every morning to the sound of my nurse preparing my various pills and look in the mirror to see a saggy, hunched over weakling, where a strong, proud man once stood. It baffles me tbqh

I had to smile reading this.
You just lack a little bit of perspective. Vast majority of people want to live. It's an instinct. You get used to your physical state and go on living.
Life is like that.

>>2249878
Instinctively there is no point to life without the possibility of procreation. I understand that they want to live but hypothetically, should they be propped up artificially by everyone else when the investment can never be repaid

>the elderly play no part in child-rearing

>>2249886
>should
A tough verb. I feel they should. Rationally, depends what your goal is. If your goal is for 'the investment' to be repaid, then maybe you are right. Let's say your (ultimately irrationally) chosen goal is progress and advancement. Then you are probably rationally justified to not prop them artificially.

ps
Also, sterile people don't get to procreate either.
Alsox2, there is no point to a life with the possibility of procreation either.

Thanks for humouring me and sperging out.
>sterile
True but they tend to be young enough that they will continue to work for another 40 years before they too are old and decrepit
>there is no poiny to a life with the possibility of procreation either
Existence is self-validating imo, the only reason for something to exist is so that other things may exist.

What would be your view on OP's question?
>>
>>2249865
A personification of white nationalism is not a "metaphor" you dropout philistine. Nor did I mention 4chan in that post, but only afterward, in reference to a contingent of people on 4chan sharing certain qualities - and regardless of how much it triggers you, they do share these qualities and associate together based on them.

Anyway, I don't really care about some fag getting autistic because I used a literary device, especially when he's defending an ideology founded on sweeping generalizations. Be mad tho, cuz evidently it touched you deep inside, like some old Cosby shit XD I don't care about some internet gaming queer identity you hold sacred.

>Is there anything more pathetic than decrepit old people that can't even walk 10 feet, desperately holding on to life burdening the health care system by going to a different specialist every week?

I don't know about 'pathetic'. I don't generally necessarily dislike pathetic people. But I would say I dislike criminals a lot more.

>Once it's your time to go, you should go. Objectively once you hit the age of 70 you should pretty much be gassed.

The 'time to go' isn't necessarily directly correlated with age.

Old people are actually the demographic with the most suicides. If an old guy decides to end it, I respect that, but I also respect if they decide to go on. I can say the same about a cancer patient. I don't mind society pouring people into them either, even if it may end up an 'investment that won't repay itself'.

>Thanks for humouring me and sperging out.
No probs. It's cool to have a thread that isn't pure repetitive cancer once in a while.
>>
>>2249929
Literally cannot think of a single lesson a grandparent has given me. Their good for taking you places and stuffing you with food but as far as wisdom goes, they did all that when raising your parents, and your parents will do that for you. Your grandparents just wanna have some nice days with the grandkids

The latter, pretty much yeah, even if they don't call themselves nazis, it indistinguishably overlaps with modern neo nazis and owes it's racial ideas and expansion pack laundry list of degenerates to the nazi legacy.

The former? Not necessarily, but I don't care about upsetting their feelings, because WNs pride themselves on disregarding that exact principle towards others anyway. We all know "white nationalism" is a bullshit PR attempt at rebranding fascism.

This is actually a good point. 70 is a perfect time to die because then you avoid a lot of the horrible cancers that affect the much older and you will usually have a good quality of life up until 70.

It's best not to waste our resources providing for those that cannot provide for themselves. It's just not practical, we are rapidly running out of resources and probably will not survive as is.

OP can't refute this but thinks he had the authority to take life ever since he became "enlightened" or more intelligent.

>you must die because you're receiving socialized medicine

Why not kill you? What do you really contribute, OP?

I don't like you and I am more valuable than you based on x metric and y metric.
Therefore, I have the legitimate grounds to take your life.

This is your argument.

it's because teenagers are naturally edgy and don't know how the world works. They google information that they cannot process and think they are experts at everything under the sun because some website told them so.

These people cost so much money, especially for healthcare. So what, they have 300lbs of fat sucked out of them then what? They gain that shit back because they didn't make any life choices to stop being a fat fuck.

>>2250509

Liposuction of that magnitude would be dangerous, and would require multiple surgeries to look right. Not to mention the extra surgery for fixing all the loose skin.

Liposuction doesn't do shit to visceral fat, which is the big health concern.

Somatic exercises like yoga will prevent you from becoming feeble,
cardiovascular health is essential of course
And continued learning and applied critical thinking will keep you mentally healthy.
Eating a balanced diet of naturally grown foods will keep you healthy and fight free radicals
everyone dies eventually, but it's very achievable to live to be old and healthy up until you do die or start to die.
It's preventative
