The Normalization of Involuntary Euthanasia

Posted on July 18, 2017 by The Political Hat

     It has long become clear, that the claim that legalized euthanasia would only be used with the consent of terminally ill adults in full control of their faculties and in severe pain would be allowed to “die with dignity”, is and always has been a total steaming load of cow patties.

Death, Rx

     Now, data has been released to show that not only is the Netherlands executing innocent people without their consent, but is actually obfuscating the number of innocent people they are slaughtering!

“Every five years the Netherlands conducts a study to determine how people die in the Netherlands and whether or not there are concerns with the euthanasia law.

“The data from the 2015 study concerning ending-of-life decisions in the Netherlands was recently published. In 2015 there were 7254 assisted deaths (6672 euthanasia deaths, 150 assisted suicide deaths, 431 termination of life without request) and 18,213 deaths whereby the medical decisions that were intended to bring about the death.

“The 2010 Netherlands study of the euthanasia law was published in the Lancet July 11, 2012.

“…

“According to the Netherlands 2015 official euthanasia report there were 5561 reported assisted deaths in 2015 and yet the data from the study indicates that there were 7254 assisted deaths in 2015. Therefore, there were 1693 unreported assisted deaths (approximately 23%) in 2015.

“The 431 terminations of life without explicit request, was up from 310 in 2010.

“… In almost every country, terminations of life without explicit request are considered homicide.”

The Transgender Colonization of Africa

Posted on July 17, 2017 by The Political Hat

     The Richard Dawkins imitator/supermodel Cara Delevigne has embraced the excuse/current truth of the so-called transgender movement: Homophobia:

“Delevingne enjoys talking about how she is attracted to both men and women, her self-proclaimed ‘sexual fluidity.’ When people get understandably confused and think she might be gay, she responds that she doesn’t think anyone should be “pigeonholed.” Says Delevingne, “A lot of the friends I have who are straight have such an old way of thinking.” Evidently, assuming that you’re gay or bisexual because you want to sleep with members of the same sex is so 2012.”

     Unsurprisingly, she (???) seems focused on thirteen year old girls…

“Delevingne especially wants the young girls she works with to know that it’s okay for them to be gender fluid, too. ‘I know 13- and 15-year-old girls who are like, “I don’t know if I like a boy or a girl yet. I haven’t decided.” And it’s like—[imagine] if I was able to comprehend [that at their age]. I am very happy how sexuality has become easier and freer to talk about, especially for kids.'”

Admit it, you looked if there was an Adam’s Apple, didn’t you?

     Not satisfied with wrecking havoc amongst an already tottering Western Civilization, she (???) now wants to push her madness on Africa:

“And as if it’s not enough that she has helped the western world with her barrier-shattering antics, now we are exporting her to Uganda, where, no doubt, adults are thrilled to have her talking to their daughters about all the exciting different types of people they could start sleeping with.

“Gushing about her experience in Uganda, Delevingne explained, ‘What those girls want is so simple, an education.’ They’re getting one, all right, but not the one they need.”

     Ironic, since there has been such a rabid and insane outcry to “decolonize” Africa from evil “ways of knowing” allegedly imposed by Western Civilization. One might think that zealots that embrace wizards that throw magical lightning bolts would not be antithetical to anti-scientific ideas regarding “gender”, but one must remember that even such “magical” thinking isn’t so nonsensical as to embrace what could only be the creation of a diseased and moribund Western Civilization: Genderfluidity.

     ‘Tis true that many in academia who are steeped in the ideology of straight White cis-het men argue that human civilization was always free of the constraints of “gender” or even sexual dimorphism before the eeevil oppressors came and “colonized their minds”, but one notices that these assertations are only being claimed now with little to no evidence actually provided in the past. Oh, those academic reinventors of history claim that the eeevil oppressors hid the truth to create a false consciousness or false social construct, but by doing so, they out themselves as the ones creating the true false consciousness and true false social construct in an expansive demonstration of gaslighting possible only by their intellectually imbred control of academia.

Quick Takes – Respect for Life? Medical Homicide; Embryonic Jewelry; Cannibalism for Allah

Posted on July 13, 2017 by The Political Hat

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: It’s not like people think life is sacred or something…

     First, a little mood music:

     Carrying on…

     Ah, the “dignity” of euthanasia… even if the “dignified” dying don’t even approve of or know that they are being killed…

“Euthanasia death zealots have pushed various methods of becoming dead for a long time, of course. But it is shocking that a columnist on elderly issues for the nation’s most prominent newspaper would join so enthusiastically in under the pretext of describing a VSED conference she attended. From, ‘The VSED Exit: A Way to Speed Up Dying Without Asking Permission'”

     Consent is just a mere formality, amirite?

     Some bonus mood music:

Kill ’em All: From the Suffering Terminal Ill to Whomever

Posted on July 12, 2017 by The Political Hat

     Death with dignity? The emotional implorations of those who wish to push the skeletal camel’s nose into the reaper’s tent by claiming that of course allowing those sane adults who want to “die with dignity” when faced with insufferable pain from a terminal illness have been dropped. The normalization of suicide as culturally appropriate now means that pain, suffering, or even any pretense of medical excuse is necessary: In the Netherlands, the perfectly healthy can have the state’s help in killing themselves!

“Politicians in the Netherlands are discussing the possibility of legalizing euthanasia for healthy people. The proposed ‘Completed Life Bill’ would allow any person age 75 or over who decides their life is ‘complete’ to receive euthanasia. It doesn’t matter if they are otherwise perfectly healthy.

“Under current Dutch law, a person only becomes eligible for euthanasia when they have a terminal illness and are suffering unbearably. Pia Dijkstra, an MP for Dutch political party D66, is preparing to introduce the Completed Life Bill. D66 spearheaded most of the groundbreaking socially progressive legislation for which the Netherlands is famous. They are historically a smaller party—they’ve never had a Prime Minister—but they’ve proven themselves to be politically effective.

“D66 would eventually like to legalize euthanasia for any adult who wishes to die. They openly admit that the Completed Life Bill is a step towards realizing that goal. In March, D66 leader Alexander Pechtold was confronted on a political talk show by a 57-year-old man who said he wishes to die. He asked why the Completed Life Bill is only persons age 75 and older. ‘I have to wait 18 more years. I don’t feel like waiting 18 years. I want it now,’ he said.”

     Here is a novel idea: Instead of mutating society such that killing oneself is considered socially spiffy, why not just accept nihilistic oblivion and pull the trigger of a loaded gun aimed at your head in front of your loved ones (especially the kids)? At least then you’d be honest about what you doing and aren’t going out of your way to ease the path for others!

     But it doesn’t feel legitimate unless others join you and/or applause, right?

In Venezuela, A Cornered Animal

Posted on July 11, 2017 by The Political Hat

     Things are not going to well for Maduro’s regime in Venezuela, as the gyre continues to widen while fair-weather friends are fleeing from Maduro. Venezuela’s currency continues to devalue to worthlessness, and even Twitter seems to be turning on Maduro’s regime—when was the last time a major tech company turned on one of their beloved socialist utopias?

     But like a cornered animal, Maduro and his minions are lashing out, including denouncing Venezuela’s chief prosecutor for allegedly fermenting a coup, while concomitantly plotting to overthrow Venezuela’s constitution.

     The violence continues to spiral out of hand, with home-made mortar rockets being used by protesters who continue to suffer casualties. The targets of violence by the regime are not limited to the protesters, but also to the Venezuelan Congress itself.

     Any wonder, then, that protesters set fire to the Maduro controlled regime rubber stamp of a Venezuelan Supreme Court? Of course, it is not always clear what is true outrage and what is staged agit-prop used to justify Maduro’s tyranny.

The Queen of Diamonds and the Fundamental Inversion of Base & Superstructure

Posted on July 10, 2017 by The Political Hat

     The Left does not work overtly. They do not fight openly or honestly. Through the Gramscian March, they’ve taken over institutions of power. Working with fellow-goers to slowly and fundamentally trans form the basis upon which America, and more broadly Western Civilization. Rather than directly change the outcome, what we experience and are familiar with, they change the basis of our assumptions such that what for some may seem like a crazy and radical change, is accepted because it is framed in such a way as to conform with the new cultural assumptions people have been fed slowly and incrementally over decades.

     In a way, people have become Manchurian Candidates. They seem like they would be in opposition to the craziness and new Progressive fundamentally transformed values, and will even often say they oppose the Left’s stances. However, once the change in fundamental values has percolated enough through society, the Left provided the right trigger, a “queen of diamonds” of some sort, and suddenly people fall in line with the new approved correct stances.

     This is more than mere cowardice or failing to stand up against a threat. It is the Progressive Left achieving victory before an overt change is proposed, and only making the overt change after victory is achieved. ‘Tis a Fabian approach. In effect, people who want to “punch back” do not realize that they are not punching back against aggression, but throwing a temper tantrum at the Left’s victory parade. In effect, they have made common sense uncommon, and the crazy the new normal.

Marble is Racist

Posted on July 7, 2017 by The Political Hat

     Marble statues are now racist, according to an assistant professor of Classics at the University of Iowa.

     Why?

     Because many ancient marble statues and relieves were originally painted to be more life-like, thus covering up the original sculpting material. Since this paint wore off over time, many in the Renaissance and post-Classical world knew only of the now-paintless artwork, and sought to imitate the Classical world.

“Acceptance of polychromy by the public is another matter. A friend peering up at early-20th-century polychrome terra cottas of mythological figures at the Philadelphia Museum of Art once remarked to me: “There is no way the Greeks were that gauche.” How did color become gauche? Where does this aesthetic disgust come from? To many, the pristine whiteness of marble statues is the expectation and thus the classical ideal. But the equation of white marble with beauty is not an inherent truth of the universe. Where this standard came from and how it continues to influence white supremacist ideas today are often ignored.”

     While this turned out to not be historically accurate, the masters of the Renaissance arguably surpassed the Classical sculptors, in large part because the lack of paint or other colorants allowed the natural beauty of the material be seen. This has nothing to do with racial supremacy.

White Supremacy AND Patriarchy! Michelangelo was an Intersectional Oppressor!!1!

     Unpainted marble, then, is now a tool of White Supremacy…

“Most museums and art history textbooks contain a predominantly neon white display of skin tone when it comes to classical statues and sarcophagi. This has an impact on the way we view the antique world. The assemblage of neon whiteness serves to create a false idea of homogeneity — everyone was very white! — across the Mediterranean region. The Romans, in fact, did not define people as ‘white’; where, then, did this notion of race come from?

“In early modern Europe, taxonomies were all the rage. What would later be termed the ‘scientific revolution’ was marked by a desire to categorize, label, and rank everything from plants to minerals. It was only a matter of time before humans were similarly subjected to such manmade systems of classification. At the same time, artists began to engage with mathematics and anatomy and to use classical sculpture as a means of addressing the question of replicable beauty through proportions.”

     Yes, unpainted statues are not reflective of what we know now. But a mistake centuries ago does not equate with a grand plot to oppress non-White individuals.

     The appreciation for unpainted statues is an appreciation for the material. This is the same regardless of the material. A statue made from onyx, in this regard, is no different than statues made from marble.
