@evan@cosocial.ca yes, but that’s a narrow view. It’s like saying marijuana was outlawed to stop war protests. While that’s not untrue they didn’t stop enforcing it after Vietnam was done. It’s to stop you from upsetting the status quo. It is to stop you from organizing but it’s also to cultivate your views going forward. Social media is your news now, they want you to get it only from them.

@passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social @evan@cosocial.ca Nope. MJ was prohibited in the '20s, '30s. Nothing to do with the American - Vietnam War.

@passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social @evan@cosocial.ca Honestly, the more you look at it, it's like they don't even believe their own social model anymore, right? And hey, another thing: they haven't actually declared a war since WWII, like, basically never. You know why? If they officially called it "WAR", they'd owe proper benefits and compensation to every veteran, and they'd have to answer for everything they did. So they just call it something else, and nobody gets paid, nobody's accountable, eh?
