All the decriminalize crap is pushed by rich liberal types. They live in luxury apartments or out in the burbs. Worst thing they have to dodge is their fav brunch place being full.

Ask any poor or working class person. They don’t want this crap. Drugs ravage their communities. They have to deal with these problems.

Same thing with the defund the police and other non sense.

I grew up in shit areas and went to college in an inner city. Some of my friends, college staff, and my own experiences (been robbed a dozen times) all lived thru this shit. We need police and we need to stop criminals from selling drugs and put career junkies away (they don’t want to get clean, ok go away then)

Meanwhile mfs wearing Arcteryx want to lecture people wearing 2nd hand Starter they should just be cool with junkies and destruction.

This is indicative of overly centralized government. People should have self determination to choose the rules that are best aligned for their situations.

Upper class values are not compatible with non-upper class realities. And yet they continue to get forced on people over and over again. People take these values on and then are surprised when they don't work out and everyone feels worse off and things "just keep getting weirder and worse".

100%. It’s why I personally stopped entertaining their nonsense and call it out.

I’m personally doing okay now but I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon and parents having multiple homes. Some of the things my peers say now makes me roll my eyes and take their other opinions with a grain of salt.

You're also wrong.

Ive been to the rich liberal types' parties. You know how some of them go? Like this:

You'll have a retreat to the den. The host will either send someone out to get "supplies" or they'll already have it. And they'll pull out a few eight-balls, and they'll put up a few hundreds around the room, and everyone will enjoy a few lines.

They'll then retreat to the in-house pool or hot tub, and enjoy.

I also had a friend who was a retired record exec, and it was routine that during lunchtime, they'd gather money to go down to the street and buy coke.

Just because they're rich, doesnt mean they don't do drugs. They likely do, just not on the streets. They do from their mansions.

(And its also the middle class who're scared shitless about drugs. My guess is because they don't have the money to hire a lawyer to keep a drug rap off.)
