this has been proven time and time again
you have to tackle the underlying problems
You see
We're just not hard enough
ok, just shoot them all then
utopia is one ban away gents
Yes
and shoot anyone who looks like they might be a junkie
shoot anyone who drinks alcohol
or drinks tea
yeah dirty nails? what do you mean you work in construction??? fucking junkie die
or does sport
or has sex
If I was allowed to shoot those two junkies that tried to rob me the world would be better off
that's a different issue entirely 😉
> the world
😄
your local community perhaps
under such hypothetical circumstances you would have been entitled to shoot those two junkies because they were trying to rob you. not because they were junkies
jesus christ svar, help me out, i haven't had my smoke yet
Yes but I'm implying that as they become more desperate and need to rob people they'll all get shot
And the problem solves itself
if we were to allow you shoot people trying to rob you, would you consider supporting policies to help people not be junkies in the firstplace?
you look at me all robberry, imma shoot ya
Like what @Eccles
well you need to consider why these people are junkies in the first place
there's good evidence to suggest "susceptability to substance abuse" is a heritable trait
and generally substance abusers come from broken homes, have had catastrophic life failures, health problems and so on
I'd argue they have a fucked dopamine system and possibly a genetic predisposition
yes, this is true, it also correlates with certain autism spectrum traits
Eugenics<:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>
also, chronic pain sufferers
there's no tidy grouping, but a range
They just need to eat better then
When I was fully governed by substances it was because there was literally nothing else to do
a lot of it comes back to unfucking parenthood
And you gotta do something
and treating people with these conditions properly
i can even fund it for you with a policy change that won't put your taxes up
I dealt with it by moving out of the country lol and I am productive taking substances as reward for productivity not a thing to do because what else
