“there are plenty of healthy spare kidneys walking around unused” oookay

There was a Monty Python sketch for that. The “we have come for your organs because you said you would donate them - but I’m not dead yet”..(warning for squeamish - fake blood in skit) youtu.be/mwfWjPrs8cY?...

We are mere weeks away from RFK Jr's CDC announcing the Squid Game.

One step from the poor being walking Soylent Green, Darth.

Listen, there are a lot of poor people out there walking around with two perfectly good kidneys when Lord knows they only need one.

Body snatchers!

Wait till they work out a supply chain of street snatches by ICE, to surgery, to profit prison.

My brain is putting together the fascism pieces before I am emotionally ready to fathom them.

Oh man. The dark world of organ donation is scary af.

new employee orientation ends when you wake up in a bathtub full of ice with new stitches

A spare kidney, in this economy?

Everything is about money for these guys

"Seasteading" in the background 🤣😂

I need to know how much kidney and liver he’s donated. I have a friend who actually anonymously donated a kidney to an unknown stranger just because she thought it would be a nice thing to do, and she’s not walking around saying this shit.

This has been a thing among the effective altruism, techno-libertarian, rationalist guys for a while now. It just gets less press than their weirder, more out-there beliefs.

law and order warned us

This is cartoonishly evil, you couldn’t put this in a G.I. Joe cartoon from the 80s because people would laugh at you and say it was ridiculous to have a bad guy proposing buying organs off of poor people. And yet, here we are.

On Ash Wednesday, 2004, I gave a kidney to a friend. He passed 3 1/2 months ago. I miss him. I truly wish I could have given him another... or, in the end, a heart. Nothing should ever be expected in exchange. This man is encouraging a black market in human flesh!

And who will be able to afford organs? Not only are poor people are expendable, they can be used for spare parts.

That is there whole dystopian jerkoff party wet dream goal. They WANT to be the bad guys lording over others.

Literal ghouls

Drink your kidney punch!

watch your drinks around this guy

And check your brakes, too!

hes giving a talk at the seasteading institute, which everyone should be familiar with in order to point and laugh at their monstrous failure www.theguardian.com/news/2021/se...

Tbh that's like the motto for the entire administration.

yeah, darth, i think i saw this movie

I'm gonna have to drink twice as much so i can use all my kidneys.

That guy talks a lot of shit for a guy with two resellable kidneys

Seasteading is a Peter Theil conconction like from 20 years ago - good lord

Do not -- I repeat -- do NOT under any circumstance follow him to Candy Mountain. 👀

Shun the non believer!

🔥

Given our political climate, I can guess many brains are walking around being unused, honestly darth I am serious.

He drops the roofie but only sniffs around. Weirdo

We're getting to the part of the movie where poor people sell their organs to the 3 people with everything

Wasn’t the SeaSteader a Peter Thiel thing about independent floating countries?

Only for those with $$$, of course...

Yeah, Darth Only one kidney is switched on at a time, don't you know? The other is just idling, wasting body space. Science!!

I remember looking into the donation process, just incase someone I love ever gets kidney failure And I really makes you think "actually he still owes me for that taxi fare"

wat

Prepare for an uptick in urban myths about folks waking up in bathtubs with a fresh surgical scar on their abdomen

Deals deals deals. Deals with Putin. Deals for your organs.

A Transactional Human Philosophy. Everything is in play.

Ah, a libertarian.

like no i am using that actually

And what price is he looking to market kidney’s at? $5,10,20k??? Or will it be an Ebay bidding type scenario? The quacks continue filling the Gov’t. The swamp has turned into Nurse Ratched asylum.

Will he be the first one to sign up to sell one of his kidney’s?

Yeah we've seen this movie, I don't think we want to live it (Also, the Seasteading Institute? Is that really the big get for speaking engagements these days?)

Pretty sure they're all used. Frequently.

Fuck. I made a joke about this.

“In a cartelized system” Does every Trump bootlicker in the CDC have a dead worm in the brain? Why tf are they so weird

Cool cool cool. Not only will women be baby machines, they’ll harvest us for parts after.

you got two working kidneys nobody’s suggesting waiting until ‘after’

Oh right! I should just be willing to donate a kidney to rich people who need one.

the whole framing of ‘allowing people to compensate donors’ in order to ‘incentivize’ donations is abhorrent

We'll write that on the mirror in the hotel room bathroom when he wakes up in a bath of ice cubes in the tub with a funny pain in his back. /s

these people are terrifying

you first, Jim

beat me to it

He would like to be able to buy some when he gets his bottle of Chianti

Charlie the Unicorn on Candy Mountain wakes up with up with no kidney. 🦄😹

I see a whole new category on Ebay

I'm using mine :)

I'm going to go ahead and assume this means Thiel's been skimming from the national blood supply for the youth juice.

darth I simply can’t

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they appointed a cannibal.

Spoken like someone that knows a guy that has a bathtub with a lot of ice.

wtf - the seasteading institute? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sea...

That guy is all the ick!!

Unused, darth???

Just walking around, dancing even

It's time to go. Not sure where but it's fuckin time.

so a soylent green future next? ....

Imagine a kidney with legs

isn't this basically what javier milei was advocating?

it's like all the world's worst countries are cheating off each other

Hey! I’ve got an extra kidney! Any takers? Quality not guaranteed.

All we are is a commodity to be ruthlessly exploited to these people and now they literally want to reduce us to spare parts to buy and sell.

... No.

We aren’t gonna make it are we Darth

How does one decide whether a kidney is unused?

😜one eye

WTAF

That's what I say. Jfc

He can go first

Someone i knew had giantism in their genes so therfore couldn't give a kidney bc of rejection complications. It's not like Legos you asshats. And yes they aren't a giant (would have been cool) but a no go still.

They just want to exploit the poor

They are there for the taking. You just have to bring your own fork and hot sauce.

The Seasteading Institute. Perfect.

I don't know what that is and I refuse to find out. Also, I hope that fucker has his donor card signed. 😠

I really tried to not know what this was. That didn't last very long. Good God! 😱

I thought you were joking and then I looked and...WTF

“Our best chance for liberty…”

The way the Repugs are trying to kill people off, there will be plenty of kidneys and other organs around. 🤮🤮🤮

😳

"unused" UNUSED U N U S E D

In this way, poor people can sell their organs to wealthier people. It’s a win win.

No wonder the catfishing txts have taken off for me

Folks about to selling organs like plasma.
