Given the snail pace of development in the west, i would never think i would see a humanoid robot in my lifetime. Hell, Asimov and other authors and movies hyped like 4 generations about them and still nothing. But then Chinese took to it, just few years and i see a robotic kung-fu lol.

It were fucking 30’s, in the west gays were still murdered for that in 70’s and US decriminalised homosexuality from 1961 (first state) to 2003 (!)

Ppl are usually staunchly for legalization because they’ve only experienced how capitalist countries like the US use the drug war as a tool. They don’t know what an earnest dismantling of the drug trade, done for the betterment of communities, looks like.

That’s important point. I do believe legalisation of weed will help in US particularly, but again it’s not very probable since US needs it to push people into prisons.

Elswhere… in Poland for example, legalising weed would not be even very impactful, since Poland is amphetamine country (one of biggest producer and consumer locally), so legalisation of weed would most likely immediately bring legalisation of amphetamine to the table. And legalisation of amphetamine would be really fucking terrible for the working class because a lot of people i know are already using it and it would spread to increase the exploitation.

Prohibition doesn’t work. Enforcement is costly and never ending.

it does work, look former socialist states in Europe (never had a drug problem which instantly exploded in like a year when capitalism shown up which in turn strongly indicate it was purposeful).

It does not work in countries like USA where the government itself use drug cartels to put millions of people into jail slavery or where CIA turned entire country (Afghanistan) into one huge poppy plantation to achieve the mindbreaking result of USA with its 4,5% of world population consuming 80% of world’s opioid consumption.

It kinda reminds me of the polish word “Murzyn”. It’s pretty archaic, ethymologically come from latin “maurus” either though german “Mohr” (for people of Maghreb) or from polish “murzyć” (“to blacken something”), due to not much historical contacts it really means something roughly similar to “negro” and just as that word it was and still used in very different contexts. And due to that, it was deemed not racist enough for racists and so an entirely mirror to n-word was coined (“czarnuch”, this one have only one context).

Today, it is officially (by Polish Language Council for example) unadvised to use the word “Murzyn”, since it became more and more pejorative in recent 3 decades, though it’s still a bit ambigous since even some black people living in Poland defended it.

Conclusion, such words can be loaded even in one’s native language, and he should know better to throw in foreign slang he might heard on the street.
