I am very uncomfortable with your presumptive use of 'degenerate' here. Are you equating addicts with degeneracy, and what comprises degeneracy in your view?
And what is a drug - Does alcohol count? I know a guy who's drinking himself to death but has his own house.
Also what do you think of this https://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/05/the-case-for-prescription-heroin/ https://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/05/the-case-for-prescriptio...
- natalyarostova 8y agoI'm sorry that makes you feel uncomfortable. I view degeneracy as the moral decay that causes the societal and familial ties to dissipate, as well as the inability for a local or state government to manage its people, that results in feces and tents littering my street from broken humans unable to take care of themselves.
- monocasa 8y agoCrazy idea: maybe feces and tents are littering your street because no one's helping them, rather than 'degeneracy'.
- natalyarostova 8y agoObviously it's both, right? Although "help" is an interesting term. It can span a lot of policies, some that make sense, others that don't. Meanwhile the degeneration of familial support networks and moral codes plays a part in a more atomized society, where falling into drug addiction with no non-state help becomes increasingly common.
