  1. Name one study that proves that harsher sentences and death penalty reduces crime. You can judge a whole country by how they treat the people with the lowest status.

  3. I think it would have happened regardless, they would have just found another thing to inprison minorities for. But I agree, the war on drugs i pathetic. Especially the part where they punish the users...

  4.  @notsure2688  No, but it can be a fascist dog whistle, but if you actually argue that it is just rich people, and not a specific group, then it is a valid argument

  7. There should always be a way to better yourself and get out of prison, they are still humans, if we start treating some humans as none-humans, we are going towards fascism fast.

  10.  @jazztheglass6139  They are still city sized countries, it is easy to enforce it when everything is closely packed together, and when the country is extremly rich also... If the bottom 50% in the US where 200% richer like in those countries, then ofc they would traffic less drugs, they would not need to.
