Omicidio sociale in Irlanda?

So it is

The entire homeless population, everyone who dies on a hospital waiting list and the majority of suicide.

It doesn’t apply at all. I fucking hate our current system. Genuinely. And on a macro scale, not just Ireland. Its all skewed from what true social values should be, in my opinion, and greed and narcissistic values are really being promoted and celebrated, in a way. But its not “social murder”.

Things arent great. Things arent apocalyptic either though, and eventually, things will succumb to the relentless march of time and things will change. And then change again. Realism is needed, not dramaticism.

> Friedrich Engels condemned prostitution but enjoyed it himself; called for equality but dismissed female suffrage.

> “If I had an income of 5000 francs I would do nothing but work and amuse myself with women until I went to pieces. If there were no Frenchwomen, life wouldn’t be worth living. But so long as there are grisettes [prostitutes], well and good!”

Sounds like a bit of a bollix.

That would be very difficult to quantify and it heavily depends on how you define several terms:

– ‘political and social elite’: Who exactly fits into this category?

– ‘knowingly permit’: At what point do these elites knowingly permit this to happen? To what degree are they expected to attempt to prevent it from happening before being considered to have knowingly permitted it?

– ‘poorest and most vulnerable’: What income/wealth level is considered to be poorest? When is someone considered one of the most vulnerable members of society?

– ‘a position in which they cannot reasonably be expected to live’: When does it become unreasonable to expect someone to live? Where is the line drawn on living conditions? People can survive as long as basic physiological requirements such as food and water are met, and nobody dies from starvation in Ireland – is that sufficient to reasonably expect them to live?

– ‘early and unnatural death’: How young is considered early? It could be argued that people living longer due to improvements in medicine is unnatural.

Sums up our “Health led approach” to drugs imo.

Ireland has the highest rate of social transfers of any country in Europe.

Free healthcare (that isn’t as bad as everyone likes to say it is if you actually have seen what healthcare is like around the world), good social security nets, a fair democracy with good representation.

Ireland is simply not the country people love to say it is
