You're implying that the US has a more effective drug policy than Portugal, which is absolutely ridiculous

- yulker 9y agoWhere in the comment is that implied? Seems like he/she disapproves of the apples to oranges comparison of the stats presented and not making any further judgment on policy efficacy.
- skrebbel 9y agoNot at all. GP is implying that there's some shitty journalism going on. Your comment bothers me more than it should. Why do people who feel strongly about stuff allow, or even encourage, shitty reporting and intellectual dishonesty as long as it suits the narrative they support? I mean, you're calling out a commenter for being 100% right, putting words in their mouth and then calling those words ridiculous. What's the point?
- demonshalo 9y agoIt's called moral posturing and virtue signaling.
- skrebbel 9y agoThanks. I never heard of either term, are they good or bad?

- ZeroGravitas 9y agoAccusing those you dislike of Virtue signalling is also the worst bit of self-branding from the right since the idea of accusing opponents of fighting for social justice. Or more recently, that their enemies are all anti-fascists.
