Simons Department Store Suggests Self-Deletion

This is what she had apparently which doesn't seem to be fatal or disabling.

It's also not brought up at any point in the "ad" to provide context even if it was. It's literally just selling killing yourself as a fashion statement.

 

[repentance]

Remember in UHC they have total control over what treatment “options” are offered. You will find that things like expensive surgical options won’t be offered for chronic issues. It used to be drugs, surgery, and kill yourself. Budget cuts or demographic cuts (no old or white ppl) will just make the options drugs or kill yourself.

Aren't treatments knocked back all the time by insurance companies in countries which primarily have for profit healthcare, too?

Powerleveling but I suffer from Ehlers-Danlos. It’s neat being able to slip out of handcuffs and contort my body in horrifying ways but I can barely carry or grasp stuff without my joints hyperextending. Couldnt ever see myself game ending because of it though. She probably killed herself cause she had the kind of EDS that makes your blood vessels and organs rupture.

Remember that these are the same people who ruined the world economy by locking down society to give grandma an extra 3 months to live.
They did it on purpose so they can justify all their dystopian policies

No need to guess how triggered they'll be if someone parody their ad featuring instead a black guy.

Ehlers Danlos is a fav diagnosis for the munchie crowd. I am willing to bet money that this very healthy, rosy-cheeked appearing young woman had 99% mental problems and maybe 1% RSI pain due to her being a musician (there are photos online of her playing the cello which is probably one of the most ergonomically hostile activities outside of contortionist stunts.)

I looked her up. She was a "she/they"

and in addition to being a music therapist she specialized in working with dying and grieving people. For a highly suggestible person like women with somatoform disorders tend to be, there's a risk of "taking work home" in a radical way. I think this BPD type nutty broad actually picked up "dying good, want to die" from working in hospice. BPD broads have done stranger things.

The number of intact tattoos and piericings she had really suggests against a classical/severe/actual EDS diagnosis of the type that might actually cause physical disability. Their skin does not take to being messed with that way.

Her Unitarian "celebration of life" here.
Her CV here. Says she played flute and oboe too- again, RSI is a big occupational risk factor for those, and it does cause pain, and if you have the nimbleness to play those instruments well you likely could fake/psych yourself into an EDS diagnosis easily.

No list of survivors, I guess her parents are out of the picture. Lesbian, how surprising:

"Self-advocate" in this context would be self-diagnosis/munchie:

As you can see on the Facebook and in the article, this was a well-appearing, normal weight woman with apparent ability to get around, do things, and work, and even play instruments that require significant dexterity. She had friends and pets. She was not living in a nursing home or crippled with such pain that she couldn't do the daily activities of life. It appears the reasoning for putting her down like a shelter dog was "pain."

As the Sacklers figured out, "pain" is subjective. Pain is manipulatable through various means, from subtle psychological suggestion to counterproductive medical interventions. And once you make "pain" a "vital sign" as important as heart rate or respiration, you can get away with literal goddamned murder.

I did some more poking around about her today. Supposedly her incurable, unbearable illness was not only EDS but something that sounds extra scary- "craniocervical instability." Wow a neck and skull defect- so serious, much deadly, right?

Yet if you look it up you see it's just more "zebra"/spoonie/munchie shit:

Craniocervical Instability — The Zebra Network

thezebranetwork.org

With the usual ominous yet conveniently vague symptom list:



The last bit- dysautonomia- is the usual "POTS and gastroparesis" shit you see in the munchie thread up in Beauty Parlor. A lot of it is brought on by anxiety and/or simple deconditioning.

The woman in the ad appears to have normal function of her cranial nerves, she has strong, well-developed muscles in her upper arms that she shows off at one point. Absolutely no way in hell was she actually suffering a severe physical illness of the sort she wished she had.

Oh well. She dead now.

My posts from the other threads about this, researching this woman and her (mostly psychosomatic) "incurable illness."

So now the government is encouraging "unhappy" people to kill themselves?

Well I suppose that's one way to "purify 'democracy.'"

How long until we get real life suicide booths from Futurama?

The first literary mention of public suicide booths appears in Robert Chambers' 1895 short story collection, The King in Yellow, in the first story of the collection entitled, "The Repairer of Reputations". In the story, so many people are being driven suicidally insane by reading or watching a play entitled 'A King in Yellow'--those who get as far as the third act anyway--that large, metal, capsule-like public containers are set up to accommodate their irresistible death wish, presumably for greater ease of corpse collection and disposal. HP Lovecraft was profoundly affected and influenced by Chambers' stories, which really were innovative for their time.

An excerpt from the fictional play:

Camilla: "You, sir, should unmask."
Stranger: "Indeed?"
Cassilda: "Indeed it's time. We have all laid aside disguise but you."
Stranger: "I wear no mask."

Chambers' work still has cultural impact. The first season of True Detective--the only good season of that show--used The King in Yellow as the basis for the killers' death cult mythos.

So yeah: suicide booths. Robert Chambers saw them coming.

EDIT: After writing this, it occurred to me that enthusiastic promotion of euthanasia as a widely accepted treatment option could be explained by following the money. In terms of harvested organs, imagine how immensely profitable this practice would be writ large.

So literally this is reality now:

Fuck.

We are living in a dystopia. There's no denying it anymore.

All of the videos are gone now. Anyone archive?

The National Post had a headline article on it the other day and a bunch of social media grifters have been bringing it up. They may have been spooked by the sudden influx of negative attention.

That video isn't archived on the Wayback Machine either. Homever, there's a podcast about it.

Edit: Here more vlogs on the subject.

This might have something to do with why they've tried to memory-hole the ad.

Like more than a million British Columbians, Hatch was left without primary care after her family doctor moved away. And so, after her Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis 10 years ago, Hatch’s treatment had largely consisted of a chaotic and ineffective stream of specialist appointments, none of whom had any background in her condition.

“It is far easier to let go than keep fighting,” she told CTV.

Even when it seemed apparent that her condition was terminal, Hatch noted that the B.C. health-care system hadn’t even been able to provide her with appropriate palliative care.

There is a lot going on here. Previous coverage of her had admitted she was dependent on opiates. So they were throwing drugs at her apparently, even though it is neither appropriate nor indicated either for the kind of pain associated with genetically-verified non-terminal EDS (which I doubt she had) nor for the kind of fibro-my-depression type of "hEDS" she more likely had. And the "lack of palliative care" sounds to me like they were cutting her off.

So this may be (another) state-facilitated opoid death.

In several more egregious cases, Canadians have even been offered MAID in lieu of proper medical treatment.

Last month, a House of Commons committee heard about five separate incidents of Canadian Armed Forces veterans being offered MAID after seeking assistance with issues ranging from depression to PTSD.

Most recently, former paralympian Christine Gauthier went public with her story of being offered MAID by a Veterans Affairs caseworker after she complained about delays in installing an in-home chairlift.

“Madam, if you are really so desperate, we can give you medical assistance in dying now,” the caseworker told Gauthier, according to an interview she gave with Global News.

Honestly, she sounded like a munchie, VEDS is the only form of EDS close to terminal. But the disabled woman and vets sufferings PTSD aren't.
Good thing someone here saved it bc they took it down after criticism:

Simons has since removed the ad from its online channels after it was subjected to widespread criticism that it was romanticizing Canada’s increasingly problematic MAID regime.

I think there was a version longer than 30 seconds but idk if they took it down or if it was saved. I think they called it a mini film.
