Massachusettes Goes Woke

Here's more proof that the biggest threat in all of history - bigger and more dangerous than Mongol Hordes, the Black Death, and Giant Meteors - is the Plague of Liberal Wokeism.

Prisoners in Massachusetts may soon have the option to get their sentences reduced in exchange for donating their organs or bone marrow if a proposed law is passed in the US state.

A new bill with the aim of establishing an organ and donation program within the state’s department of corrections has been proposed by two state lawmakers – both Democrats.

If it passes into law, then the “program shall allow eligible incarcerated individuals to gain not less than 60 and not more than 365 day reduction in the length of their committed sentence”. Along with the new program, a committee would be established composed of five members responsible for overseeing the scheme. The committee would also decide on eligibility standards for incarcerated individuals interested in the program and “the amount of bone marrow and organ(s) donated to earn one’s sentence to be commuted”...
Judith Garcia, a Democratic state representative of Massachusetts’s 11th district in Suffolk and a cosponsor of the bill, said the bill would “restore bodily autonomy to incarcerated folks by providing opportunity to donate organs and bone marrow” and “recognize incarcerated donors’ decisions by offering reduced sentences”.

"Restore Bodily Autonomy" is obviously just code words for Critical Race Theory.
Look. I'm all for removing eyes, ears, fingernails, and yes, internal organs from prisoners, but not if it's voluntary. And certainly not if it gives them bodily autonomy.
Giving the prisoners and Mexican ISIS migrants a choice of which body part they must surrender for harvesting is just more evidence of the liberal Dems being Soft On Crime and Soft On Terrorism.
Then right on cue, the liberal Dems give away the game plan.

“In my view, there is no compelling reason to bar inmates from this,” Gonzalez said in a statement provided to McClatchy News. “Broadening the pool of potential donors is an effective way to increase the likelihood of Black and Latino family members and friends receiving life-saving treatment.”

There you have it. The liberal Dems are trying to corner the organ donor market for minorities, both on the supply end and the consumer end.
It's just more evidence that liberals Dems hate white Christian Americas.

Rumors are that soon the democrats will offer prisoners a pardon if they promise to return in 5 years for voluntary euthanasia. Hey if Canada is lowering the age to teenagers to euthanize themselves if they seem mature enough why are we waiting?

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

Are you alright, gjohnsit (comparatively speaking, of course)? It doesn't seem like it.

I've really appreciated your economic essays; I have been aware of the generally-underappreciated value of what I now refer to simply as 'knowledge therapy' ever since I was 8, and in a dystopia like the present one, it is of course especially useful.

This? I'm sorry, but this is almost the opposite; confusing and inflammatory. The Massachusetts cannibal-prison thing is bad, and I'm not surprised they'd attempt to bring in racism as a malevolent Aegis against the Medusa-head of...well, what you're normally best at talking about (after all, that's what it ALWAYS was, and the people who say 'we just shouldn't be talking about it' are actually in the right, but the McNarrative on the subject is Bizarro-Speak, just like everything else now). What the heck is this? I can't even tell what you're trying to say.

Like I said, I always found most of your essays very welcome - you, specifically, turned me onto gold-buggery when I'd never thought that was even worth having an opinion about before - but you've been sliding for a while.

@The Liberal Moonbat
My health has deteriorated considerably over the last 6 months. I guess it was inevitable that this would show up in my writing.
In a couple weeks I'll be having a major medical procedure done, which if I have just a small amount of luck, should alleviate my symptoms. I'll not be writing here for a month while this is happening.

I was trying something somewhat new here. I wasn't sure how it would land.

for the part where you say "the 2 lib dems are on the board of a new start up, Organs r' us, preparing for an IPO this spring. How dare we question their motives, they just want to save lives.

Woke isn't inherently bad, nor BLM, Womens movement, or the grand daddy Hippies. It's that they turn into Woke Incorporated, BLM Inc., Women Inc., and Hippie Inc. The best way to destroy a movement is to monetize it. That's why OWS was so dangerous. They couldn't make any money off it.

@Snode "Woke" was a cult from day 1. It's right there in the name; thinking ignorance is knowledge.

It was Popper's Paradox in action; it's the "agents of intolerance" John McCain was talking about in his famous 2000 primary speech, except there's no reason to call the likes of Louis Farrakhan "far left"; they're the ones who should be called "alt-right" because that's exactly what they are and why and how they're bad. It's been breeding in universities for decades because as long as the collegial ethos was maintained, it made it seem harmless - certainly not a priority concern. Its predecessors destroyed the reputation of "liberal/left" for a generation, and gave us Reagan, Rush, and FOX News. It took us this long to scrape off the taint, and as soon as that was managed? THEY FUCKING DID IT AGAIN.

My generation should NOT have to be dealing with this.

@The Liberal Moonbat where you're coming from. I remember hearing "woke" back in the 60's. It wasn't as common, and the meaning has changed, was less charged with emotion. It meant "be aware, keep your eyes open" and also could mean "you see". I looked it up and it goes back further than that, post civil war.

As for my generation, yeah we're responsible. We marched against the Vietnam war, called out the dems for the RW warmongers they were and scared the wealthy and corpratists with our numbers. We thought we won. Instead Tip O'Neill and Reagan made grand bargains selling us out, and the Dems moved rightward. And stupidly, we kept on voting for them hoping they would keep their promises. Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden, all capitalist suck ups. The republicans weren't the only ones running the left down.

wouldn’t it be more productive to begin with an issue that touches virtually the entire world population? Like, for example, the practice of mandated medical interventions involving the injections of toxic experimental gene therapy products of questionable efficacy?

Is it even legal in the US for individuals to sell their own organs? Surely the exchange of organ for reduced sentence is an exchange of two things of value, whether or not dollars are involved. Barter is commerce AFAIK.

As for ‘Wokeism’, it is a poorly defined notion rooted in a person’s state of mind that includes ‘awareness’, ‘consciousness’ or ‘sensitivity’ to certain societal or financial inequities. It looks to me to be nothing more than a large basket full of righteous indignations.

I don’t consume mainstream media narratives, which apparently will leave me both ignorant and insensitive to today’s important issues. C’est La vie.

so why should I try to understand it. I am wake, not woke. But it is way too early in the day to spend any time on wokism, wakism or weakism.

If people want my heart, they can have it.
