in reply to LillyLyle/Count Melancholia • • •#Longtermist Mike #ElonMusk who thinks that even his own trans daughter has lost her value for humanity, as she cannit fulfill her biological destiny anymore, for instance?
In earlier times, what you mention would've been very much in line with #SocialDarwinism, too.
And if you think of #Longtermists' believe of making #humanity a multi-planetary species, that is going to cost hundreds if billions.
We cannot support "suckers."
Said to say, but here we are.

Alas, for this iteration of #fascism, #Longtermism, part of the #TESCREAL group 1), it does make twisted sense: "loosers' lives are not worth keeping.
"Feeding the poor," or "vaccinating the masses" cost huge amounts of money that are then not available for tax cuts for the filthy rich and the central "colonize #Mars" goals...

Like I said, a lot in common with #SocialDarwinism in this respect.
Giving little or no value to "unworthy lives" is very much in line with #Fascism, in particular of the type practiced by the #ThirdReich.
Ad extremis, some important #Longtermists would even go as far as annihilating 3 billion people to achieve the end of making humanity a "multi-planetary species:" 3)
What we are seeing is just the beginning.
