- beebmam 4y agoI think your comment is an example of an important discussion we need to have around what are the consequences to our drug policies, whether they are tough-lovish or harm-reductionist. I can see value in both, in different circumstances. However, the video you link to is from a notorious far right propaganda outlet. I don't think people will get an honest perspective from TPUSA, who clearly have an axe to grind (and bills to pay, which they accomplish by manufacturing outrage).
- rlt 4y agoRicci Wynne posts most of his videos like this independently (https://twitter.com/RawRicci415 https://twitter.com/RawRicci415). In most of them he lets the video speak for itself. I don't have any reason to believe he's lying and I think he'd strongly dispute being characterized as "far right".
- xyzzyz 4y agoDo you react similarly to left wing propaganda, or is your “partisan sources do not provide honest perspectives” limited to right wing sources?
- beebmam 4y agoYes, I do. I despise the far left.
