Often the argument for medical euthanasia is to let the dying die with dignity. Well, why the hell don't we demand to live with dignity?
We are living under a government that is nothing more than a few rich, mostly white men who use the influence of their global corporations to write laws to benefit them and not us.
What is freedom if not the right to choose how to live, without affecting the freedom of others?
What are these laws that humiliate us? Who voted for them? We have people in government declaring themselves important and capable that are no more than criminals who lie, steal and further corrupt.
And what do we do when the money we pay goes to corrupt institutions?
Essentially, we have no choice. We pay money for war and internal corruption and greater police presence and NOT for education and NOT for helping the poor and NOT for helping the sick because it is a crime not to. We are arrested, beaten and oppressed for gathering in protest. We are now legally strip searched for any reason. We are tracked on our phones without warrant or reason.
So, we live day-to-day, trying to carve out a 'respectable' existence for ourselves and our families, with no time to care about the community, to help one another, to resist our oppressors. We're locked into student loan debt (which is the only way most of us can get educations), mortgage debt (much of it illegal, most of it unfair), paying taxes we disagree with, paying bailouts that do nothing but continue to bolster fraudulent activities and pay bonuses to those responsible for our loss of our houses.
Where is dignity? What is dignity? How can we live with dignity?
Insurgo, insurgi, insurrectum.
