YIKES! We thought the NYT piece promoting mass suicide was bad but THIS Dick guy's thread is even WORSE

Nothing to see here, just the New York Times publishing an article about some Yale economics prof who thinks old people in Japan should commit mass suicide INCLUDING ritual disembowelment. Not entirely sure WHY they felt the need to get super graphic on their tweet but here we are.

As if the article itself wasn’t horrible enough.

From the NYT:

His pronouncements could hardly sound more drastic.

In interviews and public appearances, Yusuke Narita, an assistant professor of economics at Yale, has taken on the question of how to deal with the burdens of Japan’s rapidly aging society.

“I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,” he said during one online news program in late 2021. “In the end, isn’t it mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ of the elderly?” Seppuku is an act of ritual disembowelment that was a code among dishonored samurai in the 19th century.

Last year, when asked by a school-age boy to elaborate on his mass seppuku theories, Dr. Narita graphically described to a group of assembled students a scene from “Midsommar,” a 2019 horror film in which a Swedish cult sends one of its oldest members to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.

“Whether that’s a good thing or not, that’s a more difficult question to answer,” Dr. Narita told the questioner as he assiduously scribbled notes. “So if you think that’s good, then maybe you can work hard toward creating a society like that.”

Yeah …

No.

Sure, encourage old people to commit suicide. That isn’t horrific and evil or anything.

And speaking of horrific and evil:

Everything after the word ‘but’ should have been left out of this tweet. WTF, claiming our aging generation has nothing to offer young generations? REALLY DUDE?

But wait, there’s more.

Wow.

See? Told you.

Bad take, Dick.

Just sayin’.

Hell, let’s start with term limits, yeah?

Love this.

While the original article and of course, the thread is both hot garbage, the reaction to the thread gives this editor hope.

Not much, but a little.
