I know you're not advocating them. I'm saying your hypothetical policies couldn't possibly be enacted because it would be suicide. I've been to the Philippine's and talked to Duterte supporters. It is perhaps more fair to describe the situation as extremely anti-meth rather than generally extremely anti-drug. The reason this position is popular to begin with is because of a broken court system. People are choosing quick-and dirty summary justice over the perceived no justice of the court system. The "death squads" are tolerated because there are a lot of legitimate targets for this brand of illegitimate justice. Its a case of hate the principle, love the result. In general the Filipino people are not irrationally rabid about private, responsible, recreational drug use.
