Lowkey thats why the angel lucifer was pretty based, getting thrown out of heaven because he was like “wait, we have to do everything you say? wtf that sucks dude”
Lavey was absolutely not. Imagine transporting the edgiest nu-atheist from 2004 back in time 30 years, complete with libertarian views. Just an incredibly tiresome person, who lied about EVERYTHING.
This is why I've given up engaging with any of the bIdEn Or BuSt 2o2o crowd. If you legitimately believe there will be some change from the DNC's hand-picked ghoul, you are about as hopeless as the MAGA crowd.
Death to America, this country is doomed. Nuke this shithole until every last building is reduced to rubble
I understand your sentiment, but lets just use some bunkerbusters on the halls of power, huh?
No. The vast, vast majority of Americans are irredeemable shitheads
What if I told your nihilistic white ass there were dogs in some of those buildings.
Sucks. The sudden disappearance of all Americans would unquestionably be an enormous boon to workers all over the world
There are better ways to reconcile your imperial core guilt with your leftism. One that doesn't involve genociding the descendents of people we kidnapped and enslaved, the descendents of people we killed and stole lands from, the recent immigrants who are being hunted in our country after our actions decimated theirs...on and on.
What a way to top all the violence and exploitation with one last big kill because young white leftist says Amerikkka sux!
That was my reaction as well, now keep in mind that he most likely is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.
The only ones who should be in prison for drug-related crimes are pharma ceos flooding communities with oxy and all that shit.
Sorry to hear that, hope it’s not for too long!
And amazing how we do the same old thing every time, like drug prohibition wasn’t proven to be at best ineffective like roughly a hundred years ago with the prohibition.
We truly learn nothing from history, do we?Yup, prohibition only works to criminalise everyone and endanger users. I’m of the opinion we ought to be legalising and regulating to be able to provide clean shit, good education, and counselling etc if someone is then struggling.
I think, although I'm obviously not an expert, but AFAIK the Swiss are pretty good when it comes to their drug policies, especially with the heavy stuff like heroin:
In the early 1990s, the Swiss government adopted a new approach that focused on harm reduction, treatment, social support, and heroin-assisted treatment (HAT), in which addicts were prescribed heroin in controlled doses. In 1994, Switzerland opened the first HAT clinics as part of a multiyear trial. People in the program went to a clinic once or twice a day and used their prescription under medical supervision. The heroin in the programs was of a predetermined strength and purity and had no adulterants, and users injected it with clean equipment.
Switzerland has also set up drug consumption rooms where users can inject heroin under safe conditions, and it also uses syringe exchange programs.
Studies found that HAT and the other harm reduction measures have led to a 60% decrease in felony crimes by patients, an 82% decrease in patients selling heroin, and reduced HIV rates and overdose deaths among IV users. source
But can't have that, gotta keep them prisons full.
Anything that is not on the level of heroin, like weed, MDMA, LSD, shrooms should imo be legal, but heavily regulated, also major expansion of prevention and rehab.
I’m kinda conflicted with her case tbh. Prison DEFINITELY bad, but it’s likely the safest place for her rn given the circumstances? She got/did enough to make local news, and get her house & car shot up. I like to think I’m fairly educated on the (safe®) consumption of substances, but I’m pretty naive when it comes to the business side of things and maybe that’s just how that stuff works, but guns feel like a whole other level. She was in too deep.
Oh man, that sounds real bad, although you can definitely argue that with different socioeconomic circumstances(like in a socialist society) she would probably not have felt the necessity to get into such a downward spiral.
Again, sorry to hear all that, I hope everything turns out right and she gets back on course if I can say it like that.
