@icedquinn@blob.cat So you're telling me that when scientists are telling you that certain chemicals mixed with the chemicals in your body can cause a certain reaction, it's because those scientists are racists? So now chemistry is a racist science? It doesn't make sense, sorry.
I'm not going to throw an argument about the government caring about anyone (what government though? America is not the center of the world), but any government does care about money and there is going to clearly be a higher amount of spending in healthcare if you have to treat more people from long term effects caused by drug abuse, let alone treating overdoses and other stuff. Because that's not exactly cheap, when instead of 50k people with lung cancer caused by smoking now you have 500k (just as an example). Of course they are going to care about their money going there because people abuse of those chemicals and they are going to want to avoid it.
And that's just medicare. Think about the social consequences as well.
@icedquinn@blob.cat 'Coping mechanisms' that alter the way your body works. More specifically, it alters the chemical structure in your body. And this alters the way your body, including your brain, works.
Western's 80s and 90s society was far from being perfect. But compared to how our society is today? It was heaven!
And I wonder if part of it was because of the anti-drug (recreational drugs) campaigns. I mean... Is it a coincidence that society peaked during these years when the effects of drugs were made public and people was made aware of them and suggested not to use them? And then as soon as these campaigns started disappearing, people started getting hooked on them again, and now it's like the 60s all over again?
You might think it's stupid but I don't think so. I believe there might be a cause-effect relation here. And let me be clear, social media is also a big part of it as well. It's also a 'drug' after all. It works like one.
- Punk is all about going against the system to achieve freedom. - Goth is about the beauty in the things that our society considers "ugly" - Emo is all about social angst and not comforming with social rules.
These social movements have one common denominator: fuck the system and fuck the rules.
Thats why goth and emo are subcultures originated from the Punk movement.
