If you're asking me specifically, I don't think anything I do in a capitalist society is ethical. It's always bad. I'm open to the idea that drugs are somehow notably worse, but I'm kind of skeptical given the aforementioned issue of incarceration.

yeah I understand the very computer, keyboard, desk, etc... were created by unethical means and I've supported that by buying them

but its dishonest to just brush it off as "everything I do is unethical" as making it ok, you can still wanna change it

I'm not sure I'm following you here

well for a start why not show people the Afghani women, who, as either literal or practical slaves, engage in hard labor to harvest the poppy

the poppy that is used to create the prescription drugs that fuel america's pill addiction

what policy do you suggest to end americas prescription drug abuse problem?

what policy do you suggest that will end this kind of thing abroad?

you just narrowed the focus to the cannabis industry, ive always been talking about drugs in general

the cannabis industry really isnt a problem because of how local it is and how easy it is to grow

so weed is legal, thats it, the world is saved? Mass incarceration would still be around let alone any global implications

We could legalize weed, but would that end racism?

Anime Schoolgirl
Nov 28, 2002

quote:


"Not everything is about an economic theory, right?" Clinton asked her audience of a few hundred activists, most of them wearing T-shirts from the unions that had promoted the rally. "If we broke up the big banks tomorrow — and I will, if they deserve it, if they pose a systemic risk, I will — would that end racism?"

"No!" shouted her audience.

"Would that end sexism?"

"No!"

"Would that end discrimination against the LGBT community?"

"No!"

"Would that make people feel more welcoming to immigrants overnight?"

"No!"

"Would that solve our problem with voting rights, and Republicans who are trying to strip them away from people of color, the elderly, and the young?"

"No!"

"Would that give us a real shot at ensuring our political system works better because we get rid of gerrymandering and redistricting and all of these gimmicks Republicans use to give themselves safe seats, so they can undo the progress we have made?"

"No!"

Actually judging by the decent number of democratic socialists that are now infiltrating the party and slowly purging the centrists I'd say the opposite is true.

ok so ask me what harm is there in trying to bring up the wider issues such as corporate exploitation of the third world etc... when addressing this kinda poo poo? Yeah we legalize, which is cool and good and you all need to stop pretending I'm anti-legalization, but what next? Because legalization won't fix everything.

Look, I hear what you're saying, and I agree, but my particular ideological paradigm, painstakingly researched and refined on these very internet forums, really is the panacea the masses need.
