perhaps
specially as parents are shit
and don't know how to parent their kids
short term vs longterm, i think it'd be better longterm
drugs make sense if you are rich, if you already made it
a little bump in the road where we get it together as opposed to decades of just treating the symptoms
if you can afford to slack off
people are free to mess their lives up as it is
for most, it will just be bad though
pushging into the fringes and into the hands of evil people isn't great
and funding the drug trade
I understand where you're coming from. It's like, yes, we don't want to ban alcohol, but we also don't want people to be alcoholics.
it's a really tough thing to regulate, because some people will always be heading towards selfdestruction
*free will, am I right?*
that's the part I don't get from the left in general
That damnable free will.
they are all about controling what young people can or not do
and giving free shit
but when it comes to drugs, "let people ruin their lives if they want to"
true lol
it's just wild to see things flipped, instead of like hoity toity christians being the squares, now it's the godless morally superior folk
let me make it simple. If there was no welfare, I would be all open to drugs
all of them
what I don't accept is people claiming that others are able to ruin their lives to then say that everyone will have to pay for it
*I do think it is some ironic stuff, that China is supplying a lot of opiates now: after being fucked by opium in the early interactions with foreign powers*
it's not like that isn't expected
the late game of an authoritarian society is always drugging their people
what a whacky world we live in
a stray solar flare or a precise emp and western society would fall to its knees
only if we let it
tbh, we just have to have some safehaevens that survive
after that the others will have to copy
the population density and the divded people would be a nightmare in most major US cities
Where I live it wouldn't be so bad, in Canada, but even major Canadian cities, like Toronto, would be in for a division(the video game)-esque period
Are we talking like, a temporary disruption, or are talking like that one show where nanomachines or something permanently broke electricity?
wait, you are from Canada, so... is the new immigration stuff true?
depends on what the government has as a back up plan and plans to bring back infrastructure
Yo, where's the memes?
even a month with no cell service or electricity could be devastating
Martial law would be very interesting to see, the majority party in each place would be defacto governing for the most part
