What I've been attempting to communicate is that this line of logic does not even relate to me or my experiences. OUCH [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I think my emotional distress is that you seem to be projecting the above scenario on to me which is entirely incorrect. |
This scenario you claim has no bearing here is one that automatically occurs if I accept that medical doctors should be able to ignore the hippocratic oath with nothing more than the "consent" of the patient. Which is, after all, your entire argument. An argument that seems to be working just beautifully thanks to the profit motive aligning with it.
I get that you can make libertarian arguments in public without ever being directly challenged since that challenge requires fundamentally questioning USA state religion that market = good. But we are not in meatspace here and I can tell you: the market is an abstraction of violence.
Your being funneled from fighting wars for Israel, to decades of depression (sure hope those mystery injections had nothing to do with this, gulf war sicknesslol), to an ignominious end as the victim of expensive cosmetic medical procedures, did not happen entirely of your free will. That is an assertion I reject absolutely. And creating a profit motive for driving people into this pit of expensive self-harm is just about the most sickening thing I can imagine.
