I disagree, I think socialism can and will beat capitalism eventually.

Yeah I guess this post would be the one situation where nobody would work better

Imo they are trying to set the tone.

I would go with “meanwhile” personally

I’m not even mad, rather clever.

It outsources the blame and hides the connection from those who lack critical thinking.

All liberal capitalists want a full on chain of commands and dictator level control over their domain employees. The only difference is that they want “market forces” to force people to work for them instead of violence.

I don’t think the youth of Japan should pop out kids. That’s what the leaders want. The youth want a better life, which if provided, would probably make them want to procreate more (not that they have to).

My point was that cannabis is not gonna have positive effects (my guess) given how things are and how little chance there is for young people to have financial stability and comfort.

I mean, you can define it differently for sure, but modern politics basically use left and right wing as whether you want more hierarchy vs equality. Once you established that, the question becomes, do you force that by authority or do you do systems thinking to get the environment to encourage that.

There are right wing people who believe in small government. They want hierarchy and “better” people to be on top, they just either want the market to decide (old school cons) or by taking it by force (GQP).

But I do agree with you, right wing politics will always end up with a minority having most of the power, the how is what separates Trump vs Cheney.

Yes, which is what differentiates them from the old country club conservatives, they don’t just have right wing views of the economy, they want a leader with absolute power.

Which is why it’s so dangerous and we shouldn’t be taking about left or right wing but authority vs freedom.

Right and left wing are not the same as authority and lack of authority, it’s actually a different dimension (as shown on political compasses).

Japan’s issue is their hierarchy and authority, them being right wing is not really what makes cannabis incompatible.

Idk where the right wing connection came from

I am very, very pro cannabis and I was not joking.

In my experience, cannabis does make you question authority and being told what to do (to be fair, that might just be how it affects me).

I’ve been to Japan, there is a huge culture of respect and following authority and just trusting the authority has honour. Psychoactive substances encourage you to think twice instead of trusting authority based on tradition.

Just my two cents.

I actually think it would be detrimental to Japanese demographics.

They are already having a hard time trying to convince young people to give up their freedom and pop out more babies. Weed would only make them think more clearly, not blindly.

What if they consumed cannabis a week before in the legal country?

It’s unacceptable!

Proceeds to accept it and keep going on as normal

That’s not true, there is a third state:

“I don’t care anymore, I’ll drive Uber if it comes to that”.

All I want is for his dementia to get just a wee bit worse so we can hear him unfiltered.

Yes, all this time it’s been filtered.

That’s fine, I’ll just get better at sailing.

Piracy is the only way, clearly capitalism doesn’t give and inch.

Ahhhh, so my ps5 is the most superior PlayStation still, good to know.

No, he just gave up.

Me on the other hand had an LG android for 3 years. I thought it was a good phone but it wasn’t fully there yet. I bought a galaxy S5 thinking it would be a better experience. Couldn’t believe how slow a brand new phone could be. I haven’t tried another android yet.
