Europe is weird.
'Freedom to die' is a trojan horse ideology that libertarians in every country trip over. The concept of nominally having a pulse but still being a vegetable (or having other terminal issues) raises the concern in people's mind over when they want others to stop fighting on their behalf and just switch them off. Then they naively call for such protocols to be incorporated institutionally, at which point the hostile institutions weaponise their new freedoms.
My least favorite thing about it is it's so fucking weak. It's not suicide if you have to beg the State to let you do it. It's also not suicide if someone else kills you.
These whiny bitches literally begging to give the government the power to "medically" kill you is insane and infuriating. And acting like it's a human rights issue. How pathetic and captured do you have to be to campaign for that?!
Don't get me wrong, I get the argument for "assisted suicide," but I've also seen where it ends up and also, just like abortion, they trot out the incredibly rare exceptions to try to justify the whole scheme. It's not that hard to kill yourself if you want, and most people aren't so bedridden they couldn't do it...especially while having the mental faculties to consent...which, you know, is a sort of important aspect of suicide; it has to be the dying person's choice.
Yet they use this type of scenario to justify sweeping programs...and then immediately open up the gates even further, till you have young people with "depression" opting to let the state kill them...and acting like that's some victory for human rights. I remember when the government ran programs to tell people not to kill yourself. The good ol' days. Now you've got a bunch of sheep who've been programmed to value life so little they're lining up for the slaughter, in some cases.
And, again, the requirements get so weird in some cases a parent can even consent for a child. Yet another step down the 'children are capable of consent because we respect them enough to let them kill themselves, have elective surgery/mutilation, have sex, etc., because we're the Good Guys!' Progressives are sick. Children can't consent. A child having "assisted suicide" is their parent and government murdering them. And that, while still a fringe case, is an almost guarantee with these assisted suicide programs.
Give them an inch...they take
a mileus all straight to Hell.Suicide is suicide. That's at least a potentially merciful action, but as seen from Canada's mass killing program, literally no one else should be involved in the decision or execution of death.
They're as libertarian as Biden is lucid. Literally has nothing in common with what you'd think libertarian would be. TBF every single party but the AfD is the uniparty, they all want more migrants, the big replacement theory is a conspiracy theory but if it was real it's a good thing kinda parties.
Anyway, the libertarian party is a fucking joke, has been a joke for over a decade now and will probably be kicked out of parliament in the next election(all the recent state elections they have lost and got kicked out btw).
