Why conservatives don't like marijuana

[Narz]

Instead of everyone by themself, what if everyone worked to improve society for everyone?

Easier said than done but yes the only alternative is mass suicide.

Keep in mind even the rich in USA have worse life expectency than the rich in other developed countries and probably less free time as well so the inequality if not nessicarly that good for even them, probably because resources don't really go towards developing the country.

Economy is based on short term gain for stockholders and the financial elites which I agree doesn't serve even them let alone the masses.

To believe "the market" (& to believe the market is free takes as much faith as believing Genesis is deliberately true) will lead to the best outcomes for all is kind of like evolution will lead to the best for all species (99.9999% of whom would beg to differ).

It's simply mental laziness usually done by those who are benefiting from the current order (but as you say not even as much as they potentially could)

Wondering if anyone here has ever asked a conservative instead of automatically assuming racism

Non-racist conservatives are so willing to make common cause with racist conservatives that it makes it a really fine hair to split.

I mean, also, insofar as the thesis is that conservatives are largely engaging in motivated reasoning to support their kneejerk emotional reactions, all without any self-awareness or introspection, conservatives would be the last source of reliable information about what's happening inside their own minds.

From conservatives that I know, their opinion on drugs is mixed. They have an understanding that even the mildest of illegal drugs is harmful, but also that legal drugs like alcohol can be just as bad if not worse. They don't like that illegal drugs exist, but as they do, the best way is to treat it like tobacco or alcohol to make sure it's as safe as possible to consume.

I'm sure the distinction is hard to make when you're so far down the ideological rabbit hole that everything seems racist

Thats great. I look forward to you sharing an opinion sometime.

You mean like the one I gave you? Suggesting that people are racist for not liking something that you view as something for black people is bonkers. You made this about race, no one else did.

I don't mean to argue for him, but he didn't. He said non-racist (specifically, let me re-emphasise: non-racist) conservatives are so willing to make cause with racist conservatives. You jumped to "Senethro thinks everything is racist". Which is silly, because he explicitly clarified the demographic of conservatives that are non-racist.

Allow me to put it a different way. If someone runs on a platform of equality, and repeatedly panders to racists and their ilk, are they actually running on a platform of equality? Or is the end result decidedly unequal?

Haha what? I feel like you're trying to continue a conversation you started with someone else?
