In Canada, a 26-year-old man with diabetes and depression stemming from a botched surgery was euthanized.
Remember how I said yesterday that you can have either socialized medicine or open borders? Here’s proof. Young people with treatable conditions are being put down because there are no resources to treat them.
The people who are protesting ICE in the US seem to have no understanding that if they are successful, Social Security and Medicare will be gone. Canadians are closer than we are to this result, and it would behoove us to observe what is happening and draw conclusions.
In a fully post-national state, there are no meaningful national borders. There are also no welfare protections. And by the way, if you are opposed to Trump’s comments about Greenland, you should be equally opposed to the anti-ICE protests. If the borders of Denmark shouldn’t be fluid, neither should be those of the US. If nationals borders are extremely important and must be respected, then act like it. If not, then also be consistent. Trump is being very consistent in that he doesn’t understand the need for national borders, which is why nobody is getting deported.
Are these ideas extremely complicated? Because I wouldn’t think so, yet there are large numbers of people who sincerely proclaim “hands off Greenland and illegal immigrants”. And large numbers of people who proclaim “yes to national borders but only sometimes.” People who see the contradiction at the heart of this position are very few.

Everyone has a vice that they don’t want to sacrifice to obtain the predictable consequences of virtue, even that of most bare-bones, elementary-school Copy-Book Headings.
The people who accept the cost, and attempt to fight their disordered desire(s) are sometimes able to build nations worth living in, with a future for their children and grandchildren.
The rest are the norm of humanity, and their lives are ugly, brutal, and short unless they can find a way to batten, however briefly, on the former type. Most conspicuously accomplished in places like the Ummah, or sub-Saharan Africa, Russia and Eastern Europe by invasion, raids, and so on. It’s tragic, how regularly small civilizations struggling and sacrificing to build a whole greater than the sum of its parts, get eaten alive by the unrepentant and viciously tribal.
Entropy is normal lot of mankind, barring a miracle, including the entropy of individual human nature itself.

Oh God. What a terrible story. Utterly dystopian.
