Mr. Barro appears on Bill Maher's show and on MSNBC. A year ago he wrote a couple of op-eds praising Washington DC's marijuana decriminalization model -- which allowed growing and giving away, but not selling! I sent him these two tweets:

quote:

Seriously, what is it with you east coast types and your puritan attitudes towards marijuana? (1/?)

quote:

You as someone of an "alternative lifestyle" should be empathetic to people who live differently...pot fans deserve legal shops!

By "alternative lifestyle" I meant that he's a homosexual.

This "hierarchy" that determines who gets empathy and support is total bullshit.

700,000 Americans are arrested every year for pot possession.

0 gays are arrested for being gay. In fact, gays have had their lifestyle officially endorsed by the government.

It is quite frankly fair to say that more suffering over the past 40 years has been inflicted on Americans because of marijuana prohibition than because of anti-gay agitation.

also like 95% of gay people don't think there's an "alternative," and the "lifestyle" of a gay person is also nebulous so it's a retarded phrase left over from the 90s

It's a matter of numbers.

700k peope are arrested every year for pot possession. How many gay people are arrested for being gay (I'm talking in the West here, not in Afghanistan.)

Yet because America's rich elites all knew someone who was gay or had a gay family member, of course gay rights (and gay marriage) were prioritized by "liberals" whereas marijuana prohibition whose enforcement mainly affects the lower classes is not taken up as eagerly by the media and celebrities as a cause.

Fact: More humans have a need to alter their consciousness via intoxicants than have homosexual impulses.

Let's admit it: The prioritization of lgbt rights was significantly a matter of catering to elite interests. If the elites signaled they weren't down with the cause, then gay rights wouldn't have progressed.

What is wrong with needling elites like Josh Barro about this hypocrisy?

"alternative lifestyle" is a dog whistle.
