0/10. Where is China, Russia, North Korea, authoritarianism, dictatorship, totalitarianism, hitler, stalin, freeze peach, democracy andhuman rights? Low quality libslop

Libs typically don't make comparisons to Hitler when trying to make something look bad these days

Funny that

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Hitler's crimes are pretty well documented and substantiated with paper trails and physical evidence, unlike those against North Korea or Mao or Russia.

Comparing to real events falls flat when the conditions or series of events don't perfectly line up. Far easier to compare to an ambiguous "authoritarianism" and cite a caricature of very real famines to stress the human cost and ground it via a reference anything material.

I mean they did use “jihadist” and “Venezuela” though.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

they didn't even mention hamas or antisemitism. truly tragic

This won’t be the first time I’ve referenced this on this site but there’s this godawful Chuck Norris action movie called Invasion USA where an army of “terrorists” attack Florida from Cuba. I think. The plot is threadbare. Anyways, it’s a steaming pile of dogshit and all the bad guys are just “misc militant” guys in fatigues.

I’m imagining this movie plays on repeat at the WSJ

Nah, sometimes they put on Red Dawn

If they have a really good week the bosses reward them with Milius Mondays

I mean, cocaine isn't exactly good, but it's not currently a big contributor to Americas drug problems. Meth and opioids are so much more deadly and problematic.

Who cares if someone gets an expensive, short and relatively mild high, with a little cardio-toxicity and rage? It's not as big of a deal as deadly opioid OD's or how meth turns you into a mess. Cocaine's biggest harm is probably what the cartels do to the source country, not the affects the drug has on the users.

One could argue that its biggest harm is the effect that its users (Wall Street investment ghouls) have on broader society

Oh no the dangerous drug cocaine, which side effects include sex and partying, the horror.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago

i mean it is a cardiotoxin because it interfaces with some receptor sites involved in heart beat regulation. i think it's pretty safe in it's natural form (chewing some leaves for a buzz)

i have read low dose coca infusions are vastly more effective then caffeine and basically as safe

fun fact: there have been witnesses to kilos stamped with the presidential seal. you will have to trust me on this. related to a very famous political dynasty

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

I mean, unlike weed, it can kill you.

around 2/3 of people who use cocaine will experience psychotic symptoms at some point. about 1 in 6 long term addicts will develop long a long term psychotic disorder.

i worked at a halfway house for many years. the real heavy coke heads pretty much all had mental health issues related to cocaine psychosis. like, some really serious mental health issues in some cases. permanent cognitive disability type stuff. changed how i viewed the drug

long term heavy use also destroys your heart in permanent ways

have fun with coke very sparingly, comrades. if you find you do it every weekend or during the week maybe take a long break and re-evaluate if you are becoming dependent. well, for any recreational drug for that matter.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Really? Hm, I didn't know. Funny because I've been in rehab and just cocaine by itself was rarely treated, now crack on the other hand was taken more seriously. But TIL

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

crack is freebase cocaine and heavy coke users can often turn to crack to chase the rush, but not always. we view it differently in the usa due to racism.

are they suggesting they are... jihadists in the war on drugs, on the side of drugs

That's David Dees, weird conspiracy theorist, I think he's got some libertarian-esque vibes, sovereign citizen type. Criticized the duopoly but from the far-right perspective. Think he died over the pandemic

That title made me feel happy for the jihadists, I hope they shipped a good product
