Shameless cross post because this deserved a thread of it's own just because...

It's hip, it's cool, it's eco-friendly.

Kill yourself...it's beautiful.

This is the end game. They robbed us of the desire to continue the bloodline. Now they want to end it entirely.

He is exactly right.

The Marxist mob has tried everything they can think of over the last 50 years to reduce or eliminate human reproduction, or at least white western European reproduction:

"Real women have careers!"

"Abortions on demand!"

"Weirdosexual genetic dead ends for all!"

"Legalize infanticide!"

Now they have come to the final fig leaf: "just $#@!ing kill yourself already!".

And it's almost always the women pushing this.

Is it just a statistical anomaly, or are you all really just hysterical lunatics, who can't control your $#@!ing emotions and hamster wheels of perpetual worry long enough to stop and smell the roses and enjoy the beauty of the moment?

I never heard of Simons before and looked them up. They're from Quebec. There might be all white people in the ad but none of them were speaking French. Just an observation.

We'll probably start seeing political ads like this in the US very soon.

We'll probably start seeing political ads like this in the US very soon.

Likely in liberal states following their "Liberal polices as it is happening in Canada"

Mostly likely there would be such similar ads in Western Europe.

Red states with Democratic governors will also participate in airing those ads.

Really Red States? arent they anti woke?

Just to be clear, we have two wholly different issues here.

The first is, just kill yourself. Badness, 100% agree.

The second, however, is justifiable: ending one's life as a matter of willed choice (v. coerced) under circumstances. I just buried my... Well, my mom's man. They weren't married so I hesitate to call him a "step-father". I'll just call him John. He worked at US Metals for long years as an equipment operator. All his friends and colleagues died long ago from heavy metal poisoning. John contracted cancer that metastasized. His last days were grim. Imagine pain so intense that while in a deep coma, you are hanging on to the bed rails, grimacing. This was not treat to witness, either. If I hated someone enough to want to squeeze the life from him with my bare hands, I would not wish such a thing as John's fate on them.

He asked to be killed, this coming from a 6' 2" Hungarian dirt farmer who loved life. Had I been able to do it without going to prison for the rest of my life, I'd like to think I'd have had the sand to go through with it. And know you that I'd considered it quite seriously, the thought appalling and repellant, but a worthy act that I'd shrunk from due to the legal threats to my being.

So for cases such as this, I am 100% in favor of assisted suicide. Nobody should have to go through what I watched John endure back in this October just past.

I would also note that if we are to be true to our words regarding freedom, then we must face the admittedly unpleasant truth that a man holds every right to choose to kill himself, without fear of interferences from others, certainly from the "government". Such circumstances get very complicated very quickly, but IMO we should take considerable care in how we express our views on such matters because the temptation to lapse into tyrannical positions gets very high, very quickly due to the strong emotions involved.

As for the ad itself, I'm not sure I see the problem there. I'm assuming the woman is gravely ill, perhaps suffering in some freakishness, and wishes to be freed from her agony, knowing her days are short in any event. Why would this be a problem? Is there not enough misery in the world, that we would force people to suffer wildly as had been the case with John? These things are not easy, nor ought they be, but that doesn't mean that they should be disallowed in blanket fashion.

My worthless opinion on the matter.

Given that the last thing a retailer would want is a mass reduction in customers, I think your reaction to the ad is a bit much.

You assume that a retailer doesn’t make money from death. So many do, even if not directly.

That's about the bland, "oh, what the hell are you all worked up about now, AF?", reaction I would expect from you.

You forgot that we are in the middle of a Marxist revolution.

Most corporations have now installed management that no longer cares about market share, what the customer wants, making profits or increasing shareholder value.

Given the choice between making money or displaying the proper political outlook, they will choose the latter.

Some people don't care if a market's big or small, as long as they have a monopoly on it.

Yes. Corporations have enough market share and protection from competition that they do not have to worry about economic considerations at this point.
