no it isn't you just want to pretend that only crazy lefties approve of drug decriminalization that is not the case plenty of principled right wingers approve as well you just want to demonize the opposition

you presented a correlation equals causation fallacy that is not evidence Portland is a shithole because it's woke af not because of it's lack of drug prohibition Portland is proof of the stupidity of wokeness not proof of drug prohibition being effective

I said it shouldn't be illegal the reasons I believe that have nothing to do with the reasons you think I believe that you just make up dumb shit and put words in my mouth to dismiss the argument you're just like so what you're really saying is something you never said that's all you got

I didn't post that you made it up you refute strawmen not my arguments because you can only win an argument against the stupidest shit you can make up that's how weak your argument is you're like Cathy Newman on steroids

why do you assume people against drug prohibition all want to be drug addicts? to make your idiotic positions seem smarter, no doubt you sure do love arguing against strawmen to maintain the delusion that you're intelligent

not having European style centrally planned boondoggles will not result in extinction

that isn't why they shouldn't illegal I can explain why they shouldn't be illegal you can't explain why they should be illegal without using anti-drug arguments that apply more to drugs that you are fine with being legal than the drugs you want to be illegal there is no logical consistency to your position

and that's a centrally planned boondoggle high speed trains are garbage total waste of taxpayer dollars Canada needs that like it needs a hole in the head

you still can't explain continuing to prove my point all you do is argue in bad faith as soon as you realize you're badly losing an argument then it's a parade of fallacies from you ad hominem and strawmen being your favorites

I am not arguing they are the same I am correctly assuming you cannot explain why one should be banned but the other shouldn't be you are just going on feelings not logic and you continue to prove that point

you keep talking about how great high speed trains are that will involve a lot of central planning if they were economical, private companies would already be building them no country on earth that has high speed trains has built them without a massive centrally planned boondoggle to do so

excluding the woke, the free speech haters and covid totalitarians you have easily got to be one of the dumbest people posting here

more centrally planned boondoggles will not help Canada the governments lack of capacity is helpful in this regard more government is not the answer Canada would benefit from less government

reality is that more people have turned to hard drugs during the pandemic and more people who were already using abused them more regardless of drug policy and you are just stupid to pretend it's all about repealing dumb laws Portland is a dump for reasons other than drug policy, derp

correlation doesn't equal causation it also correlates with the pandemic overdoses have been on the rise in places that didn't legalize hard drugs since the pandemic too clearly drug policy isn't the cause many places that decriminalized hard drugs saw overdoses drop before the pandemic you are cherry picking

false dichotomy if you don't want to ban all things that are bad for you you need to explain why one should ban some drugs that are bad for you but not others if you don't have a good answer that makes you a hypocrite clearly you are okay with some drugs being legal since you support the laws on the books so explain why alcohol and tobacco shouldn't be illegal but other drugs that are banned should if you can't do that why should anyone take your opinion seriously?

answer the questions jail doesn't work for everything see Alcohol as a prime example prohibition empowers gangsters so you go hug a gangster

answer the questions and stop strawmanning

so stop using plastic bags then you don't have any right to force others not to if others want to use plastic bags, that's their prerogative

Austria-Hungary world was not wonderful just because it included some nice places you visited it was a decrepit empire that fell for good reason and had never been restored for good reason you simply have nosyalgia for an Austria-Hungary that never was what's next you gonna start pining for the Ottoman Empire? If you're not supporting Russian imperialism then why the constant laments for the fall of imperialism in Austria-Hungary whenever someone criticizes Russian imperialism? why do you keep comparing Russia to Austria-Hungary in the face of any criticism of their wars of aggression?

more parties is not better America has only two major parties and is better governed than nations with more than two the problem is not FPTP because it's possible to be governed better than PR nations with multiple major parties while still being FPTP and only having two Canada has more parties that win a decent amount of seats but America has better choice, even with less parties because the American electorate allows a wider range of choice than the Canadian electorate does it's not FPTP that's the problem it's the electorate, stupid

Alcohol isn't good for you should you be put in prison for drinking it? Tobacco isn't good for you should you be put in prison for smoking it? Fast Food isn't good for you should you be put in prison for eating it? should the people who sell these things be put in prison for it? if yes, why? if no, why not?

that's better than PR though that will notably increase the cost of elections and will put the right at more of a disadvantage to the left, just like PR Canada is too far left as it is let's not change the system in a way that will make that worse

with energy prices on the rise that fake environmentalist crap is going to lose steam real fast drill baby drill

the fear mongers hijacked the environmentalist movement very few so called environmentalists, call them out on their bullshit and a ton of them defend the fear mongers from those who do call them out on their bullshit protip to the real environmentalists throw the fakes under the bus instead of defending them and stop calling everyone who points out their stupidity "climate deniers"
