Smoking cigarettes isn’t dangerous to everybody in your vicinity only to second hand smoke and it’s kinda disingenuous to pretend the danger to society from the two is comparable. And like I said I smoked for over 10 years and I’m gen z. Society makes it look cool but I should have listened to my mom the whole time.
Idk if it’s really helpful to the convo but As someone who quit smoking less than a year ago after 10+ years I wanna say raising the price won’t help people not smoke. The amount of money I threw at my smokes was just someothing I always budgeted in and it just kinda fucks over poor people who are gonna smoke no matter what. I don’t think this full ban is really gonna do much for already existing smokers. Of course if the cost of selling cigarettes was more than the profit we could get somewhere but at the end of the day every industry would benefit from ditching profit based economics. Thats why I’m a leftist I guess
Check this one out dudettes & duderinos ! In the 80s, the Philadelphia police department moved a bunch of dangerous bombs away from a civilian center! Look up “1985 Philadelphia move bombing” for more cool epic factoids!
I can 100% sympathize with them too, I used to be the edgiest anarchist you could be. Like calling military recruiters baby killers type edgy in high school. Lol. I still go out to weird crazy anarchist punk rock shows all the time, it’s actually not the worst place to organize anymore because theres less drunk heroin addict punks, now they’re all parents or young gay kids n shit.
I used to parrot all the stuff about communism being evil and Stalin and stuff because, with 0 reading, my understanding of communism was that it was exactly the same as Nazism/fascism. I have learned a lot since but I’m still in no position to argue against American neoliberalism to well meaning liberals and/or anarchists at work cuz I just wanna finish my fuckin shift in this kitchen and fucking go home. lol 😅
How many deaths? 500 gorbillion? I heard he personally ate them all too. Must be that evil judeo Bolshevism! Scary!
Lemmy seemingly is more anti Soviet than Reddit, unless you’re talking about the main Reddit subs which is cheating. Seriously I’ve never seen people who consider themselves socialist to be so vehemently anti ussr especially without providing why; atleast on Reddit lots of people try liking Wikipedia or something lmfao
