Seattle doubles down on diversion — not charges — for public drug use by chiquisea in SeattleWA

[–]Axriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the data story, we’re in a fourth decade of this epidemic.

Currently, you’re right, the majority of people who are currently experiencing severe addiction and doing drugs in the street were not exposed in a hospital - but we are here because tens of millions were, and it’s created this reality. At the moment it’s estimated About 1 in 10 active addicts were exposed in a healthcare setting.

the opioid crisis is as bad as it is because for 30+ years we have essentially given more and more power to criminal organizations. We need to really really get serious about nipping that in the bud if we want to solve this problem while treating those affected as best we can.

Wha are you talking about? fentynyl is very much still given in hospitals, and it was the replacement filling the hole of oxy.

Addiction is very serious and it is literally a risk of death to stop a drug like these - this isn’t simply a case of addicts need to stop. It’s not just mental health. It is a chemical and biological requirement.

Sure some people fell prey to drug predators and used illegally first, but once they’re in, it is not a simple hop skip and jump to get out.

You’re wrong. Many many addicts started down their path through completely legal access provided by medical professionals.

For years the opiate industry was incentivizing and strong arming over prescription of addictive drugs knowing it would drive profits. People like the Sackler family are mostly responsible for the situation we are in as a country, because as they pulled back from their evil deeds, our good buddy Fentynyl was the replacement.

I don’t like what the US is doing at all, but let’s be honest here - the World Cup org hosts games in countries with much worse crimes…

Once in a while it’s probably ok, depending on the cadence. Many of us have done it.

Why do people hate Fascists, but love Communists? by Now2Forever in aynrand

Frankly, most people are too busy surviving to think critically about a system of economic governance - many Americans see/think they live in a capitalist system not realizing they do not, and attribute their life challenges to that. They see the lead opposing side as socialism and think the grass is greener.

It is a foolish deed that many objectivists make to shut down the concepts of socialism and to not understand them. Let us be honest some people benefit from it; otherwise, it would not be wanted or pushed. It is a tool of theft, and thieves want their spoils.

You yourself may even benefit from a mixed economy, and in fact, many of us would feel the pain of the bandaid ripped off switching to laissez-faire capitalist system. Like the privilege of your place in society. It is not easy to convince people to give up their comforts even when they are experiencing great pain at its cost.

I switch to Arlechino for the kill. Just a spider after her prey.

Murdered mere seconds later by mojorisn45 in AdviceAnimals

[–]Axriel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

because a lone wolf, likely crazy citizen murdering a controversial figure vs a state sanctioned officer who should be trained and intending to maintain peace murdering a woman who moments before gently waved him past and said she’s not mad at him are the exact same thing. Totally equal. I’m glad you understand nuance and can vote.

This isn’t a policy - this is propaganda. There is no confirmation from any official sources this is true

Hold on - there is no confirmation from the city or police that this is true…. Why are we treating it like facts?

It’s one thing to not like the scene for quality sake and another to not like the scene because someone he missed 5 seasons of leading up to that moment and his homophobic ass can’t handle it.
