The real fun begins when you let in hordes of 3rd worlders from Muslim countries.

They organize in clans and fight each other in more and more open clan warfare. They don't give a shit about law enforcement and the justice system. They know Western systems aren't designed to deal with people like that. Can't jail them all and can't deport them. Hell, can't even cut their welfare. There are no consequences for their actions and they know it.

Sweden has been dealing with this for years. Bombings and shootings are just part and parcel of living in Stockholm.

Various German cities, like Hamburg, are going through this, too. Politicians and their journo whores try to frame it as "rocker groups" but in the end it's Arab and African clans who despite the strictest gun laws are well armed and frequently get into shootouts. Police and politicians look the other way because even admitting that there's a problem would "prove the wrong people right", would "endanger democracy" and "could disturb the population".

Worse even in Germany, they deported some, I think one guy famously came back multiple times. On top of that they don't only frame them as rocker groups but also nazis if it fits the bill. Just don't ask how they look like, they'll say "they spoke German" or had a German passport(which means nothing based on ethnicity).

The globhomos who organize the parades know which streets they can't flaunt their degeneracy on without risk of an Allahuakbar "mostly peaceful protest".

There are some less brainwashed gays who are very aware that mass third-world migration means quickly rising risk of them getting murdered. They are told to "shut up and stop being islamaphoracist".

The upside is that native populations aren't going to do anything vigilante style to clean up the streets, but the migrants will have no such qualms.

He hits the nail on the head as far as Portland, but he left out the fourth kind. I guess technically they aren't homeless but they pretend to be.

'Local grifters.' Minority housewife takes her two young kids and drives to a rich suburb to hold up a sign and pretend to be homeless to milk the dumb rich liberals in the suburbs before going home each day.

I did a shift at a homeless shelter a while back, and that's how I learned that the beggars out on the streets are often grifters. They leave the shelter every morning to go out and mooch with the signs they use on the streets, and they return in the evening with those signs to do it again the next day. They are technically homeless since they're living in shelters, but they have a roof over their head and free meals. Anyone giving to them isn't helping them survive, they're helping them buy booze and drugs. One guy I worked with told me that one of the regulars straight up refused to get a (very easily obtainable) job because he had all his needs provided for. There are also more more beds than homeless people in many cities. They stay out in the street because they're more interested in drinking and shooting up than getting shelter.

The pattern I learned was: "I'll buy you a lunch, how about that?"

If they are genuinely hungry, they'll be happy as all hell. If they are a grifter: they'll actually be quite annoyed.

There's also the few times, where the dude is wearing nicer clothes than me. That's normally a dead giveaway.

Now connect the dots and do people on food stamps who take drugs.

The argument on Reddit went:

"Think of the Children; you can't take their food away just because their parent (mother) tests positive for drugs."

If they are not feeding their kids, and they are buying drugs, then they are an addict.

Subsidizing drug use with government money is fucking stupid.

Aren't they gonna call the cops and get rid of them Martha's vineyard style? Considering it's the rich liberals I would expect the popo to come running quicker than for a normal person calling them. But yeah, I don't even feel and shred of sympathy for those people, hope they have entire homeless camps in their nice and rich neighbourhoods as they wanted this.

Nah. Not even laced drugs. Just give them all the drugs they want, they will OD in a week.

Install a vending machine that sells doses of fentanyl for $1. Make it a little baggie with measured, high but safe dose (given some assumptions about body weight).

For the regular users one dose won't get them high, so they will take two. Even if they get the math right that time, they will fuck it up before the month is out.

If they break the vending machine, replace it with an honesty box.

I just thought that this was interesting when I saw it shared on another board. I used to be rather libertarian, when it came to drugs. But if this is indeed what happens, then there is no way that it can work out.

Actual libertarians are rather tough on property crime, which would circumvent most of this. If people were locked up, ejected from society, or even killed for behaving in this manner, you'd have nothing left but the recreational users who can regulate their behavior, or perhaps, on a long enough timeline, legal drugs that no one wants anyways, because they're familiar enough with the end result to avoid them.

There's a difference between expanding liberty on offense against the rising tide of authoritarianism and declaring one's intent to abdicate the duty to preserve human civilization.

When the police abandon their duty, it is every citizen's duty to arm themselves, and drive these degenerate scum away, or else put them down.

There is a reason there is a providision in the Bill of Rights for civilian gun ownership. An armed and trained populace, being vital to a well-regulated militia, shall not have their rights to firearms infringed, and if ever there was a cause for a well-regulated militia of the populace, it is when the elites abandon the common man, and take their enforcers with them.

In "liberal" areas the entirety of the "justice system" is built on making an example out of any white man who defends himself. The police don't have the resources to follow up on your garage being broken into but sure as heck have all the resources they need to make your life miserable if you do anything effective in preventing your stuff from getting stolen.

And the entirety of the national media circling like vultures ready to feed on any black who suffers the consequences of his actions.

Wait. So you're telling me that selecting people who have little-to-no self-control with drug use, are totally consumed by it... don't get better if you provide free of consequences drugs to them?

I am shocked.

I understand some people started, or keep doing drugs because they felt horrible on a daily basis even before the drugs, and don't care anymore if it kills them. They just want some relief from that, waiting for death.

But you can't enable them. Their lack of impulse control make them a danger to others and themselves.

Their behavior degrades society around them.

Many of them can also recover, and you're keeping them in self-destruction.

Many who wouldn't have fallen so low, now will because you make drug abuse easier.

So forecefully detox them, and maby start adressing the roots of their crippling mental health problems, because a large % of junkies are not just too stupid to live, something broke them (like a lack of meaning in life caused by the downfall of family / cultural cohesion).

Not coincidentally, Red China got their longstanding drug problem under control by fighting their own War on Drugs with the intent to win rather than enrich their own intelligence agency and destroy social cohesion: instant death penalty for dealers, forced rehab for their millions upon millions of addicts, instant death penalty for anyone who relapses, and replacing opium poppies with other crops. They just know damn well from their own history how effective hooking their rivals' peoples to drugs can be.

Even from a Libertarian perspective that I have, I can't really argue against local communities banning drug use, or very specifically public inebriation for exactly this kind of thing. The Drug War as an institution is a huge problem, that itself profits from drug abuse rather than solving any problems, but full decriminalization is not a solution because of exactly what we see here.

The problem with even that legistlation is that it's still a major social failure anyway. You can't really fix that with laws, only tamp down on it from getting out of control. Thing is, with my perspective, I kind of wonder if I should take the heartless Libertarian approach and say: celebrate your dead addicts, kind of like I say: celebrate your abortions.

The real losers are everyone engaging in the addictive activity. If you stop the enabling, entitlements, and welfare; society would probably return to normal because the moral order would assert itself naturally, and the people who are killing themselves with drugs would be their own Social Darwinism. Literally: "We're taking Narcan away from the cops. They have no obligation to save you from yourselves." It would introduce a bad few years, but at the same time I think that the addicts and zombies would leave.

This is the necessary social and establishment attitude.

"Rehabilitation" is total BS, a con game that enriches a well-entrenched network of grifters and does nothing to dissuade people from using any sort of drug. In fact, opiate "rehab" in the form of methadone clinics is probably the most egregious example of this, including the fact that they are using addicts as guinea pigs for their "opiate substitute" concoctions that are nothing of the sort.

Decrim does not go far enough. It simply allows drugged-out degenerates to feel they have license to stagger around the streets on the nod or shoot up in public.

Total legalization of all pharmaceutical "recreational" drugs, sold to 18+ at already-established pharmacies, with zero marketing or advertising (like cigarettes) is the way forward, with no dedicated drug shops other than cannabis, since pot is a relatively benign drug, safer and more user-friendly than alcohol or any other drug taken for pleasure. Eventually, cannabis cafes like those in Holland should replace the current trashy US legal pot shops that market themselves openly and idiotically. Laissez-faire drug selling, even of cannabis, is no longer possible as it was prior to prohibition, thanks to "drug culture."

This scheme would require severe penalties for public intoxication, with greater penalties for publicly using drugs in any way (with one or two exceptions) and greater penalties still for black-marketeering, which shouldn't be a problem if prices aren't over-inflated by predatory taxation, as we see in the case of legal cannabis.
