You mean, like Tobacco companies encouraging smokers to complain about anti-cigarette legislation for example?
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoIf that were the case, yeah, I don't think it would be nefarious. Lying about the unhealthy effects of smoking would be nefarious. But if people willingly decide they want to smoke, why wouldn't they be interested in preventing bans on smoking or whatever. I often wonder about it, as I can't stop eating chocolate. Would I prefer a world in which chocolate doesn't exist (and alcohol, and cigarettes)? I am not sure about that. All those things can be good in moderation (except perhaps tobacco, but I guess if I was a soldier maybe I would take up smoking, too, because why the hell not).
