How to Solve Social Problems

[peterfaParticipant 833]

When I went to school 15 to 20 years ago (mainly 7th and 8th grade is the focus for me for the purpose of this topic) other kids smoked pot and were proud. They bragged about it. I don’t think they’d be so proud of themselves should this be before 1920s.

In the 1920s we had a solution for drug addicts. They’d take you to a mental place and give you all the drugs you want, but you’d get no food or anything. You had the option of rehab should you take it, but if you refuse it, it’s a death warrant.

Imagine how much trouble we’d save should we re-institute this. I’m a big fan of if you shall not work, neither shall you eat. This is super liberating. I can look at a rich person and not experience envy. That’s empowering, really. I can chose not to eat if I want to exercise my sovereignty. I’m a totally free agent and I can chose to starve if I wish. It doesn’t make me into anything.

While we’re on the subject, let’s cut welfare and other enabling atrocities. Life is not easy for anybody (except the privileged rich, whom are few) but we have a nasty problem with thinking certain people have it easy and everybody else has it hard at their expense. That’s a victim complex.

I’m sure that adds two points to one topic but my main topic really is to reinstate the institution to send people who are addicted to drugs are refuse rehab, which will take care of that problem. The followup is to remove the enabling services to those who refuse to grow up.

These days we make them grand marshal of the holiday day parades.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

I think pot was maybe a bad example (laudanum, cocaine in coca-cola, morphine seem more applicable to mental illness)  but I get your meaning.  I got one up on your idea though.  We not only reinstate these drug rehab centers (I bet they are pretty effective) but, we also should just legalize all of the drugs.  The black market (aka CIA and Mafia in bed together) is so filthy rich they haven’t had to use tax payer monies to fund black ops since the 60’s (see Air America with Mel Gibson).  There is no point in criminalizing and marginalizing these people for trying to get their head straight, bent or turned inside out; freedom to the pursuit of happiness and freedom of choice come to mind.  The taxes generated would be in the trillions, (especially if we stop letting big business getting tax breaks from IRC 501, 529 companies) jobs will be created and the overall load on the prison system will be relieved saving tax payers billions more over the next 10-15 years as our prison population drops by about 80% or better.
