I wish. the exact opposite is true.

we have sniffer dogs at every major train station, which the cops use to justify strip searches (sometimes of minors, illegally without their guardian present), and major music festivals.

if you dont have any drugs on you, then they ask you to squat and cough (again, illegally) and can still refuse you entry to the festival even if you have no drugs on you/in you.

statistically the dogs are reporting false positives 80% of the time.


australia has a weird culture of doubling down on dumb laws that everywhere else has proven are dumb by decriminalising/legalising drugs. also knee jerk reactions to basically everything.

so let us burn I say.

I was hearing about this on Boonta Vista. Boy, y'all really are our sister country in every conceivable way!

Bully for them! I still live in a backward hick state where, almost 20 years ago, we passed recreational reefer only to have it veto'd by a republican governor, never again to see the light of day until today, in TYOOL 2019, we have middling access to medical reefer under only the most dire of circumstances and now when there's more popular support than ever for it, on both "sides" of the aisle, our milquetoast melonfucker of a democrat needs the pigs' permission to legalise it, even though they've dropped enforcement to a priority of just slightly more urgent than jaywalking.

Thankfully as the veneer peels off on the degradation of the material conditions of the proletariat, the conditions for revolution will arise, paving the way for ecosocialism. We will overthrow the leisure class and the bourgeoisie, who are what drives ecological devastation, and we will build a beautiful world on their ruins.
How are we going to get through the legions of well-paid mercenaries armed with the absolute latest in Geneva-violating weaponry and complete lack of humanity?

Because of excerpts from this book I feel an intense sense of melancholy whenever I see a flock of birds that are at most 3 dozen. Just how many were in that flock 200 years ago?
Unless the birds are very old, none, as they weren't born yet.

Well educated immigrants usually also qualify for other countries with higher post-tax incomes and smaller language barriers. They have very little incentive to chose Germany.

loving is all well and good but you don't have to birth more children. Jesus Christ, people. Forget the population, you're bringing new life into this world, and they are guaranteed to have an awful time and when they reach that stereotypical phase of "I HATE YOU, YOU RUINED MY LIFE!!," you'll know they're entirely correct.

From what I've been able (forced) to observe of libs, it's more about infinitying down on "the problems are the fact that people are complaining without being able to solve all of them by any one individual's self."

"That's depressing" is the hand waving mantra of the cornered lib
Or "you're entitled to your opinion and other people are entitled to theirs."
"Yeah and your opinion is contrary to observable reality and scientific evidence."
"I don't have time to read the news all day."
*finally has time to read the news all day*
"No, I will not listen to or read anything you send me."

Like, if this sort of malicious negligence were directed at any individual or a specific ethnic or social group, it would be a crime of varying scale. But because it's directed at the very habitability of our planet by our species, it's just a difference of opinion, like which cola makes the best mixer or which band is the most metal.
