    Lmao, I just started listening to this and they immediately compare it to legalizing heroin and giving control of the heroin industry to tobacco companies, with the implication that that would obviously be incredibly bad.

    Turns out half the people in this thread think that that's a great idea actually.

      Oh my God then they started talking about self-identified socialists now having a libertarian streak and thinking restrictions on people's actions by a Nanny State are bad.

        Many such cases, including on Hexbear. Fucks' sake, I once had an ugly prolonged knock-down drag-out posting fight with some asshole that insisted they absolutely needed their two-stroke gas powered leaf blower and gave me the full arsenal of "no veggies for dinner, no bedtimes" selfish bullshit talking points all the while.

          Yeah, just it felt like deja vu listening to it. It's like they used a time machine to read this thread before recording their intro.
