The Realities of Healthcare in the US and the Elderly ft Ashley Frawley
Welcome to today's episode of This Is Revolution, where we delve into the complex and often controversial topic of euthanasia. Known by terms such as "Death With Dignity" or "Medical Assistance in Dying" (MAID), euthanasia is increasingly presented as a humane option for those suffering from terminal illnesses or chronic conditions. But is it truly a compassionate choice, or does it mask a more troubling reality?
Since Canada implemented the MAID program in 2016, there have been 44,958 deaths under the program, with 2022 alone accounting for 4% of all deaths in the country-a 31% increase from the previous year. This rise in MAID-related deaths has saved millions in healthcare costs, raising ethical questions about the role of euthanasia in society. Does it offer a dignified end for those who can no longer contribute economically, or is it a method of disposing of those deemed unproductive, such as the elderly and those with addiction issues?
The expansion of MAID to individuals with mental illness and even "mature minors" has sparked global debate. Critics warn of a slippery slope where euthanasia might be seen as a solution for those facing not only illness but also poverty and other social injustices. Our guest today, Professor Ashley Frawley, has written extensively on the subject. She highlights how some academic papers argue that MAID serves as "harm-reduction" in an unjust world with little chance of improvement, suggesting that allowing euthanasia in such cases might prevent further suffering.
A significant portion of the population seems to agree, with one-third of Canadians supporting MAID for individuals whose sole affliction is poverty. Is this a sign of a compassionate society, or are we edging toward a dystopian reality where economic productivity defines one's right to life? To explore these pressing questions, we are joined by Professor Ashley Frawley, who will help us navigate the ethical, social, and political implications of euthanasia. Please welcome Professor Ashley Frawley.

I like this guy!
Carlin wasn't punching down when he was complaining about PC culture, he was complaining about not being able to use everyday language on broadcast television because of the Evangelical Right. While they may have sounded "similar" in their complaints, Carlin and Maher are hardly comparable; Maher wishes he could be in Carlin's shadow.
lol, are you saying that Incels and manoshere ‘cucks’ are Betty’s for bad boy Chads like Andrew Tate’s et Al.
The New age Evangelical right wing hybrid is well established in the U.S. too. For example, Prosperity Gospel dovetails nicely with certain westernized Yoga culture ideas of spiritual levels of being as innate and wealth as a sign of a higher status.
We also can't lose sight of the fact that it is not Jewish zionists but "Christian" zionists/white nationalists in the US who are directly responsible in numbers and in power for the genocide in Pallestine.
they should do a segment on the gurus of india and their spinoffs in the west.
The podcast really got interesting when the discussion turned to Brazil. Before that it felt more like TYT or Breaking Point, etc, which is not meant as an insult.
The misuse of terms by essentially their political enemies is an attempt to destroy what is actually meant by the terms. We have seen the same dynamic around Critical Race Theory. These red herrings are often used to obscure important critiques. The things you are talking about , corporate neoliberal propaganda and fronting along with social media mob-ism is not what the term means to suggest. In its simplest form it bespeaks an awareness of historical oppression and contemporary structures of oppression. Corporate frauds and obnoxious novices not withstanding.

I think defining ‘Political Correctness’ and Wokeness’ as merely speech control is to accept the right wing Co-opting the terms much like Trump with ‘fake news’ both terms shine a light on the history and power of words to affect thought
Thank you TIR! One of the few leftist outlets that talks seriously about prostitution.
Why didn't you edit out the screen freeze, Jason?! 😂
Aren't all workers selling their bodies? 🤔
Strange Fruit, I am appalled at how few of all ages have heard it, the trigger warnings on music videos I send now a days are absurd! my ex says they met you in Oakland, Jason, in 94-5 with a Rock n Roll chic named Spider? This true? i think they on BS.
I was in high school at that time, and I don't remember anyone by that name..Off the top of my head, but that's like 30 years ago? I'd have to ask coach Will if he remembers.
Music stopped being the sound track of Rebellion, when musicians like you, give up and Podcast only, you could blend your politics and your music, you could be the Change in the world you want to see!
I'm watching Bengals home Season Start, hope you have an equally thrilling Sunday planned :)

the link only takes you to part 1 of the article, where part 2?
it's there on his substack.
Appreciate the conversation.
I missed this one live. Very good conversation. Personally I felt the guests did not have a solid explanation as to why “sex work” would no longer exist under a socialist society. How would a socialist society handle an individual that wanted to commodify their body? IMO relying completely on the materialist argument in this instance is not sufficient. Human socialization and psychology (not the easiest things to empirically study) will inevitably play a part in an individuals desire to take part in “sex work”.
I think their argument was more that sex work is perpetuated mainly by the conditions of capitalist society.
Yeah, they also didn't really explain why sex work is inherently more problematic than other forms of wage labor. Miners and construction workers are put at risk regularly, after all. Under communism it seems entirely possible that _some_ would prefer to work in a brothel than a mine. Are brothels not socially necessary? Again, some would say they are. 🤔
Asking how a future socialist society would deal with an individual who wanted to commodify their body is a cart before the horse question. There is a very long way to go before we achieve anything close to a society that could be called socialist or communist. Hell, post-2020 even the most milquetoast social democratic reform is no longer on the table and at this moment in time we are closer to slipping into a post-democratic dystopia with Mad Max characteristics than to anything resembling socialism. In our year of the lord 2024 worrying about what sex work under communism will look like is pure mental masturbation and a symptom of a left dominated by middle-class academics. It has no bearing on actually existing political and social reality.
Seems to me like another one of those questions like "Are prisons obsolete?" bitch we live in capitalism with no socialist horizon in sight and you already trying to abolish the oldest human form of exchange, why not abolish the state first? How about abolishing ANY coerced demand? Seems waaayy overly ambitious to me to fantasize about a world with no prostitution. Like a world with no hunger or violence.
Yeah this woman is a straight up right wing grifter. The red fascists at TIR will platfirm anyone who says "wokeness bad."

Gore Vidal became a lunatic conspiracy theorist after 9/11? Burgis is showing his bias here. There is nothing lunatic about Gore Vidal's post-9/11 suspiscions.
One thing I've noticed in my short time on this wet marble is how the perceived image of a regular or 'normal' middle-class lifestyle has changed over the years. I could be wrong, but I get the distinct impression that the way the 'average' American life or household is portrayed has moved from a typical middle-class, middle-income lifestyle in the 70's and 80's, to a more upper-middle or lower-upper class lifestyle. Houses are bigger, cars are pricier, furnishings are nicer...the new normal, or at least the one they want you to think of, is now markedly above the medium American income. It's this odd sort of gaslighting where they (corps, wealthy?) kind of want you to believe that 60-80% percentile life is now somehow the normal average American lifestyle, when in reality it's far from average.
This is all fine and nice, but when are you gonna ring up Dan Larson and do an actual MotU episode for Pop Life?
This old or recent?

Re: Job Creation Capitalists don't create jobs, they _ransom_ jobs. 🤨 Zuck created Facebook, but it's _the needs of its three billion users_ (along with the needs of its untold number of customers) that creates jobs for almost seventy thousand people. 🤓
What we have now is what happens, over time, when political sociopaths are afforded adult authority in a society. A political sociopath is someone who is willing to do harm to another for the sake of opportunity, social capital, hierarchy, profit and/or pleasure.
Like, keep telling yourself like whatever makes you feel good about the covid jabs that you were like duped into getting, and be sure to enjoy like whatever it is that you think you get like out of having them. Meanwhile, like those of us that won't be participating are like all doing just fine today w zero issues or regrets... and like everyone knows it too.
Nobody cares if you don't get the vaccine. You aren't going to usher in the revolution by being an anti science reactionary 🤷♂️
Like, like... (like) the fact that these covid “vaccines” quite obviously failed to offer immunity to anything, renders the term "anti vax" moot.

During the 2019 Canadian Federal election I had become very disenchanted with the direction of the New Democratic Party, which was becoming increasingly Centrist and incrementally neoliberal over decades. I had been considering voting for the Green Party of Canada, but they had adopted the slogan, "Neither Right nor Left, but Forward!" What was worse was how clueless the leader, Elizabeth May, was about the slogan, how dated and past its sell by date it was in the modern political climate. And in Canada we have no Federal Left Wing parties: we have three Centrist parties who are, to varying degrees, neoliberal incrementalists and two full bore Right Wing parties.
No. It's widely known that 1935 was Cinema's golden year.

Thank you!
Some of the ones I remember most from that year that got left out: War of the Roses, Dead Calm... and because I'm Irish... My Left Foot. But looking back... Weekend at Bernies and Back to the Future II were probably the two films I most wanted to see at the time.
ESPN Daily podcast put out an episode titled Death of a Sports town Oakland. It made me immediately think of the Count of the Carrot Raisin Slaw.
Actually, there is one thing to say about Kevin Costner (speaking of 'Freaked'): 'I look at a guy like Kevin Costner and see a giant peach grub who can _fart_ the Blue Danube'
I have loved 'Nothing but Trouble' since I was a kid. but I have to give best year to 1993 with the release of 'Freaked'. All-time favorite movie.
Hahaha for real!
Yalls point about the intensity of the reification to the point of rejecting the state. Are libertarians basically calling for the end of the dictatorship of the bourgeois because the class struggle is over due to us all being capitalists, because we at least own our bodies as capital lol.
Identity politics is all they have left.

Regarding "Sweden with Nukes": the basic frame really begs (or poses) the question: what, then, are states to each other?! If you assume real existing commodity production (or: "market socialism"?) to be a global system, warfare appears as a cruel mechanism of coordination and stabilization...?
