I say all this as an ex smoker myself btw

My progressive friend I've had since childhood still smokes every single day though

i dunno if would qualify as an ex-smoker

i mean i haven't smoked it in a while but it's not as if i've actively given it up

well i said at the beginning i dont want it legalized.

i suppose i am biased in this regard

i do still smoke tobacco though and i'd actually be more okay with that being banned

itll just be commodified and marketed. freaking pot ads.. no thanks. im good. i can get it on my own and use it on my own. i dont want to pay taxes on it and etc. fuck all that

or have its distribution or use curtailed in some way if not outright banned

Well, so what was an example of some "Libertarian ideas" you would want to implement into a post-Liberal society like we touched on? @UnScottable

and i dont trust the government either to make it.. theyd prob put some shit in it

hmm... idk honestly i havent really thought it out that well

and i think due to our nations diversity it wont go well in any way

i was more saying those ideas would fit better if our nation was still 95%+ white

You guys vote yet? 😉 https://i.imgur.com/KRxS8vU.png

i think black people probably need stronger discipline than white people

and one day... just like that...

the opportunity cost of race blind legal systems increases as ethnic fractionalization increases

or ethnicity blind

yea and well we all know they arent really race blind... or well...

well

its more based on whose your attorney

i mean at least formally they mostly are

how much money you have lol

but i mean obviously it's still comprised of people with biases

hm.... yea the issue of how our court system is to run in this 3rd position society

<:thinking_clown:590855640268668928>

i have a decent idea of how executive power should function but legislative and judicial stuff is trickier to me

cuz i mean... well itd still be innocent until proven guilty... but... if you strip away the idea of liberalism in a judicial system.... i guess... what do we replace it with?

biblical rules i guess

like ten commandments and shit

i don't think you'd have to get rid of the idea of innocent until proven guilty

I'm confused

yea that would remain but see the foundation of that point is that we are all equal

before the eyes of the law

i think the main problem with the court system atm is its load is too heavy

but i mean

there's one pretty obvious factor that contributes greatly to that

because the only reason we accept innocent until proven guilty.. is the idea that we all are equal and deserve the benefit of the doubt

i don't think that equality is necessary for that
