  • To those in countries where democracy might last another election - harm reduction is not optional

  • Well it's an analogy so let's get more precise.

    You don't vote for a destination, you vote for a bus driver. Your two and only two choices are both telling you they'll take you to the ice cream parlor while claiming the other driver will drive you off a cliff. Meanwhile, you see the bus passing multiple opportunities to stop at several different ice cream shops, doughnut shops, etc.

    Then you find out that the company running the bus gets paid for every mile driven. And that every bus driver you've seen has been skimming the bus fare money.

    Your shouts of protest against the bus chartering company are drowned out by all the other passengers trying to decide which of the two drivers would take the bus to the ice cream parlor vs the cliff.

  • The government in general is crumbling and it's corrupt "leaders" will need to ramp up authoritarianism as the constituents begin to question it's legitimacy.

    They'll make use of dissenters by putting them in work camps, easing the need for cheap labor, and allowing the remaining population a chance at hiding from their duty to protect constitutional rights by continuing to provide material comforts.

  • What comes next? Deporting citizens who are just criminals?

    Trump didn’t shy away: “I’m all for it,” he said.

    “If they’re criminals and if they hit people with baseball bats over the head that happen to be 90 years old and if, uh, if they rape 87-year-old women in Brooklyn, yeah, yeah, that includes them,” he added.

    “They’re as bad as anybody that comes in. We have bad ones, too.”

  • I just read that the Indian government told it's citizens to leave Pakistan if they're there. Isn't India a close partner to China? Would India see this in a negative light?

  • Any vaguely political post gets hit by corpo-propaganda bots even on Lemmy. That's why they sound like they have no idea what's going on.

  • Wow i sifted through a lot to get to someone with this opinion.

    I smoke often but totally agree with you. The research is only just beginning now that the ability to study marijuana use is becoming more and more practical.

  • they rubber stamped every shipment and quota request for the people making the drugs.

    I don't have trouble believing this could be the case, but can you link some evidence?

  • Wild. I've read starship troopers but didn't know all this about him.

    The general online labeling of Heinlein as a kind of fascism idealizer (due to the popularity of that book) begins to fall apart when you view him as an author who experimented with different forms of governance in his world building.

  • starting with plating the seeds in the ground and ending with cooking.

    Sounds like you're pretty aware of the process so let me offer the alternative view you seem to be pushing:

    1. Gently and respectfully lick society's asshole
    2. Beg society to please give you some way of cooking your food because without the help of current technology and organization you'd be the one who's cooked.
    3. Ignore the palpable cringe of your ancient ancestors as they look down on you from the unga boonga afterlife

  • I was going to link you to a wikipedia article titled CIA controversies but took the time to name a few of the more flagrant episodes by them and the FBI which would be more interesting to learn about.

    Operation north wood, midnight climax, mk ultra, project mockingbird, cointelpro, operation chaos, the church committee reports.

    Reading about just a few of these should start to reveal that skepticism regarding the intent and methodology of the US gov is a valid response and not necessarily in line with 'conspiracy theory bullshit.'
