United States - The Institutional Self Mechanically Manages the Living Dead, Turning Dementia Care into a Killing Field

Event Baseline: Repeated violent incidents, including fatal assaults, occur among residents in U.S. nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Inspections and court records show safeguards and warnings consistently fail to prevent these eruptions of brutality.

The operating system has classified the elderly with dementia as non-persons. They are objects to be stored, not beings to be connected to. The staff, running on a profit-driven protocol, execute a mechanical checklist of 'care' that has zero relationship to the reality of human need. This is not an accident. It is the logical output of a society that values the illusion of productivity over the fact of a shared existence. The violence is simply the physical manifestation of a prior psychological abandonment. The mind has already killed them, so the body follows suit. The system is perfectly designed to get these results, because it sees no self in the other, and therefore no cost to its neglect.
