WAR ON DRUGS BECAUSE WE HATE YOU 2

Heavy government control in a tribal system works, as it ensures survival. Heavy government control works in a nation, if and only if the control mechanisms align with preexisting cultural norms. In the Land Of The Free, you had strict laws against divorce, race mixing, contraception, even alcohol consumption and the like. This was not seen as a bad thing, as that was what the culture had taught us. It certainly was not a very free system if looked through the lens of those laws. So, here were well armed men, told who they could marry or when they could drink.

*

And they were fine with it. They were fine with increased socialism, as it was seen from the perspective of tribe. Even I make the mistake of pointing to when we could have rebelled and won, for a completely free country, but back then folks didn't want complete freedom. They just wanted a life, a job to support a family. Which is all we want now. Freedom is too esoteric of a concept for most. They just want to be left alone to live a simple life. Being free can screw that up nicely.

*

Culture is nothing more than adaptations that work at keeping your particular tribe alive. Tribal and cultural dictates are never about freedom as much as control. And the only time freedom from the nation is required is when the laws do not align with culture. “Freedom” is just an excuse, or justification. It is winning soft power in a struggle. So let us not fool ourselves. Now, in a country that had a fair system of control and distribution, which was accepted by the people because it was fair, drug laws are fine.

*

Yes, as a matter of fact, habitual drug users for the most part are losers and they disrupt the social order. When the middle class shared in the spoils of our Great Colonial War, harsh sentences against marijuana were fine, while at the same time it was okay to drink like a fish and be a danger on the road ( this is why it was socially unacceptable to drink before a certain time, so the odds were the kids were out of cars and in the home ). White America, which WAS 85% of the population, were a VERY homogeneous group.

*

You smoked, you drank, you served in the military, but you certainly did not do drugs. That was for the gangs of Blacks and Latino's. So harsh laws were fine for drugs. It wasn't a racial thing, it was a tribal thing. Hippies doing drugs were not acceptable to the “squares”, because these were normal people upholding primarily cultural laws. The actual stance of the government was secondary. Drugs were not culturally approved. You couldn't be part of Normal America Tribe if you did drugs. And that made it really easy to start the War On Drugs.

*

It had massive widespread approval, as it mostly does today. Even I am not opposed to drug prohibition, per se. IF it was still the government JUST backing up cultural norms with the force of law. But it no longer is, and hasn't been for some time. It is the excuse the government needs to crush dissent. It was the original War On Terror. For instance ( let me give you a good example before I lose your attention ), it is rather common for the cop pulling you over to plant drugs in your car. For something as simple as failing to show the proper amount of obsequiousness.

*

It used to be a general rule that 10% of all organizations were comprised of “bad apples”. The lazy, or greedy, or incompetent. Well, obviously, it is a lot worse as the collapse picks up speed and ALL organizations institutionalize corruption ( as a survival mechanism ). Another aspect of the collapse is that folks seek tribe. To a much greater extent than before. It is natural to try to group up for safety as well as peace of mind. So, those people in that organization become a lot more, let us say, “incestuous”.

*

They protect each other. They hold the wall against outsiders. Right or wrong, “their” people must be protected. That is what tribes do. So when a cop screws with you, his partner goes along with it even if he knows you are innocent. His Chief goes along with it. Your public defender goes along with it, and the judge is on their side. NOT the side of justice, you simple hump. Not only that, not only are drugs used against you as an excuse ( and look at all the laws against drugs now used for other things, like RICO ), the “justice” system protects REAL drug users.

*

It is a little thing called Job Security. And it is a real thing, because anymore with the economy like it is, if you aren't clawing and scratching to keep your job, you WILL end up in the lower classes. And we all know if you are lower class you are screwed, by everybody. So, yeah, the cop is going to lie. The judge isn't interested in your guilt, and etcetera. Which is the only reason I'd say we need to repeal the laws against drugs. It feeds a corrupt system and it suppresses freedom. Freedom FROM corruption. The laws against drugs are used to screw all the normal people it used to protect with those very same laws.

*

Oy, but Jim, look at all the crackheads and needle users and petty crime because of drug use. Yeah, I'm looking at it. The harsher the penalties for drugs, the more I see drug use. The more I see drug use, the more obvious it is that the government tasked with their control is one of the main beneficiaries of that prohibition. Whatever evil we will see from drug legalization will be far less than what we are seeing now. But, ooh, Mr. Carter, let's just reform the justice system! Yeah, I'm okay with that. Are you okay with jailing EVERY single person today involved in that completely corrupted system?

*

If that is too shocking for you, are you ready to fire every single cop, lawyer and judge? Didn't think so. You want your cake and eat it too. You want to give the police state MORE power, to use against those who don't do drugs, or even those who are functioning addicts. All because, what, they are overwhelming the medical industry? The medical industry is completely hosed today, from corruption at the very top. The bankers and insurance industry and the federal oversight agencies. Junkies taking beds is the LEAST of the medical industries problems.

*

Sometimes, you can be too close to the problem. I'll just leave it at that.
