The Absurd GOP

[Rev. Rye]

Economically the people's quality of life and safety must be sacrificed for mere competitiveness or to grow a mere number. The economy serves the people the people are not cogs for the economy nor does one need to be sacrificed for the other as that is simply a fallacy either or fallacy of the ugliest kind. Nor should free Western democracy try and emulate authoritarian regimes. We can do things our own way. We don't need to become the devil to defeat it.

Frankly, this talk about how it's better to get rid of the welfare state for this abstract number reminds me of a time when a certain European country did something very similar*. It didn't work out too well in the long term.



Translation: "60,000 Reichsmarks [Ed: Roughly $514.674.12 in 2022 money]. That's what this person suffering from hereditary defects costs the Volk's community during his lifetime. Compatriots, that's your money, too!"

*Note: I'm aware that the Nazis weren't totally against the welfare state, but their social welfare organization restricted its charity to, well, the sort of people the Nazis wouldn't want to kill.
