@littmath I'm just going to pick the obvious answer and then mess with those who come after me by recalling the paradox that "observing a red apple increases the probability that all ravens are black."
Is it relevent? Is it true? Is it recalled accurately? (maybe/maybe/lol)
@rev_avocado Not a moot, but whenever I see your avatar I remember this one tweet talking about "surprise Canadians" who regularly have good, normal tweets before saying something like "this is actually a huge problem in Montreal"
@merovingians Frankly, I suspect a lot of people whining about "tankies" do it precisely to make it the problem of the institutional left. And the well-meaning critics are unknowingly playing along.
@bilbosfootcomb@ClwnPrncCharlie It's worse imo, he's not some high school kid figuring out who he wants to be. He has explicitly supported political violence, as long as someone other than him is pulling the trigger.
@bilbosfootcomb@ClwnPrncCharlie I was pissed at him for weeks after he basically called for some mentally ill leftist to do a murder-suicide, but it's always amused me how hostile he is to religion. John Brown - solidarity with the oppressed and religious faith is just ineffective violence. That's why he stans?
“I hope the reader will find it easier to follow the book than this diagram.” 🤔

I think I misread this. I thought the quote was of slogans, not proper arguments (Iow, legalization proponents claiming "addict" is just a legal construct that disappears when the laws change)
"Drug liberation means no more addicts (and that's good)" will lead to a world unprepared for our continued existence. It. will. lead. to. CARCERAL BACKLASH
"Drug liberation means fewer addicts die" <- the ACTUAL argument for decrim from the perspective of addict liberation
