If philosophers don't want to see this sort of violence happening, then philosophy (and other disciplines that contribute to the way certain groups of people are conceptualized) needs to quickly become radically much more inclusive.

The role of philosophers in Canada in establishing and supporting MAiD is another example of harmful ideology that costs lives. They've even convinced the state to sanction this loss of life.
