  • We need to ban advertising for all addictive substances/activities. We’ve mostly come to terms with the fact that mixing addiction and marketing are horrible for public health when it comes to cigarettes. We need to extend that to gambling, alcohol, Marijuana, hell even sugary drinks.

    Even ignoring the public health implications, it’s just cruel to recovering addicts. It must suck to see advertisements of attractive people having fun drinking beer if you’re a recovering alcoholic and are just trying to forget about it.

    I’m opposed to prohibition as it just ends up jailing minorities and empowering the police, but just because we make something legal to consume doesn’t mean we have to give it over to the market and capitalism with its perverse incentives for growth at all costs.




  • There are like 5 people who post 90% of the content on lemmy. Cm0002 is one of them and really hates tankies / anyone to the left of them.

    Most of the content on the “tankie triad” is general left wing anti-us stuff. Occasionally they’ll be some post praising China then some liberal will comment something about tianemen square or uyghurs, get banned , and then complain that the whole instance is full of genocide apologists.

    It’s not like there are regular posts praising Kim jung un or maduro like the liberals make it out to be. There are a decent amount shitting on liberals, like the reverse of this post, which perpetuates this dumb instance war. It’d be best if it stopped as were all “radical leftists” in The eyes of the rest of society and were gonna need some sort of solidarity to accomplish the 90% of things we agree on.
