Exactly.
And this is a freakin’ nation we fought a world war to save?
Good God.
Obviously a moral problem but also you could look at it as a natural result of the constant drumbeat of “crisis” news about climate and the geopolitical situation. If a person does not have a very strong moral foundation it is quite easy to get sucked into the vortex of despair that there are “too many people” so any means to reduce that total is seen as a good thing. Of course if these people were questioned as to who they would suggest for life termination, it would come down to “whoever wants to die” which tends to reduce the shock value of holding such opinions. “They don’t want to live, it’s not my problem” becomes a cop-out position.
By the way, did you know the leading cause of death in the Netherlands? Clogged arteries. Also, when tulips are very close together.
