Alcohol sales did not increase, though it did make a small number of people rich, that is true. That doesn’t change the fact prohibition was successful in greatly reducing alcohol consumption.

It does work. It objectively reduces whatever is banned. Just because enforcement cannot be 100%, that does not mean outlawing certain activities is a failure. Prohibition, for example, reduced alcohol consumption by 70%.

He just doesn’t want his cause being co-opted by another. It’s dishonest.

You don’t do politics either. You just roleplay like your opinion has any impact and in reality you’re just annoying.

Who knows. But we’re going to out last you.

I almost believe it’s related. It sounds like the left are up in arms over AI not because of safety but because of money. If they would be more specific about safety, maybe people would listen.

I hear a lot about AI safety. What, precisely, is unsafe about AI that is unique to AI?

So you’re trying to claim that racist USA convinced Europe to hate and kill Jews only for the USA to then take in the majority of Jewish refugees… That makes sense to you?

Do you even know what words mean? Your response makes zero sense in context of what’s being said here. What do you even think I said?

We are under attack.

The US took in more Jewish refugees than any European country. What a dumb slander.

Crazy, I would have thought reddit and lemmy were tight.

You are missing the point. Conservatism isn’t anything that you, specifically, believe it is.

Hmmm, I bet it’s no secret who your team is!

This place is very similar to reddit. Notably, chains of “removed by moderator.”

I’m not sure how you can be on lemmy or reddit and not recognize out-grouping from the left. Groups fundamentally define themselves by what they aren’t. And each group will strawman the other to strongarm their adherents into staying within the group.

Communist. Pink haired liberals. Nazis. Fascists. Meaningless boring out-group names that are repeated ad nauseum. But go. Indulge. Join a team and have fun. But don’t sacrifice real relationships for some politician. Be smarter than that.

Driving drunk is known to be dangerous. People who indulge in that behavior eventually hurt others. We don’t wait for a drunk driver to crash into someone before we arrest them. We arrest them the minute they turn on their car while drunk.

Someone who indulges in sexualizing children will eventually hurt a child and we should not need to wait for it to happen before we arrest them.

You do have to wonder who paid to get this content in front of everyone. How did anyone even know?
