    My interests are keeping addicts in prison and enforcing the laws to keep crime down. I have no interest in treating addicts other than putting them in jail.

    We don’t have common interest. Your ideology is what is degrading the country. You expect everyone to give you a handout rather than working for things. It is the major difference between the conservatives and liberals. One ideology is based on earning things and the other is about taking things from others.

      Which is just fucking horrible. They’re addicts because of the way human brains work, addicts can and do stay addicts inside prison too, so that’s also not a justifiable solution.

      Unfortunately you’re just buying years of conservative propaganda funded by for-profit prisons.

      Your ideology is what is degrading the country.

      That’s just like, your opinion man.

      You expect everyone to give you a handout rather than working for things.

      Nope you’re just parroting right-wing talking points. I genuinely want us all to succeed. That means helping the less fortunate ones or those struggling. That doesn’t mean “handouts”. That means what we pay into the government I want to see benefit all of society. Even the ones you don’t want to look at. That’s all.

      One ideology is based on earning things and the other is about taking things from others.

      This is like, a 2nd grade-level take on the difference.

      Once again, it isn’t a culture war. It’s a class war.

        Never mentioned for profit prisons. How about not making things up?

        That’s just like, your opinion man.

        No, that’s a fact. The red states are flourishing, and people are moving there in mass. Those states generally share my values.

        That means helping the less fortunate ones or those struggling. That isn’t my job. If I want to donate to charity, that should by my choice and not through tax money.

        Once again, it isn’t a culture war. It’s a class war. And you aren’t in the class you think you are.

        I am very much in the class that I think I am, but we are not in the same socioeconomic class by a long shot. That is because I didn’t expect people to give me handouts, nor do I want a nanny state.
