Ah, yes, because pointing out the generational injustices and ineffectiveness of the war on drugs absolutely makes me a whiny pussy.
Again, the fact you are willing to justify locking someone in prison over Cannabis use/possession at all shows what a backwards yokel you really are. Put whatever spin on it you like, you are still a moral degenerate no matter how you slice it.
The only thing degenerating here is your country's society
Yeah, because of people like you.
Oh so I'm an evil hooded guy manipulating all of America's society from outside? You're really overestimating my power
No, you're a small-minded, sycophantic, troll who seems perfectly fine with justifying inhumane behavior based on tired legal justifications that are neither ethical nor contemporaneously representative of the will of the majority.
Conservatism is deeply rooted in this kind of ideological sophistry, and in that way you are a perfect representative of your cause. While you may not be from the United States, you embody the same kind of energy as the conservative electorate here that votes against its own interest because they cannot see the forest through the trees.
"justifying inhumane behaviour" lol
And you still haven't answered why or how I am degenerating America
I said people like you, and I just explained what I meant by that.
I'm sorry you can't fucking read chief.
You still have to explain how
Actually, I don't. This has now become boring and tedious. If I see your stupid takes around again maybe I will hurl some more arguments your direction for meaningless internet points. But for now I'm going to go do something more productive.
It's been real, it's been fun, but it ain't been real fun 😘
