    To anyone who saw the post I am replying to, tread with caution. There’s a reason that peer pressure is dangerous and it has nothing to do with the supposed “War on Drugs”. The real villain of those old PSAs should have been fascism, not a random dealer, if there was any true benevolence behind it. If you must frame it in Conservative worldview, read “Fahrenheit 451” and remember Bibles burn just as easily as biology textbooks.

    “When they came for the drug addicts, I said nothing. Until they said Jesus was a hippie and took my whole church.” Fascism is never good, for anyone. Even the perpetrators. Or do you honestly think no other Nazis wanted to bump off Hitler for personal gain? Fascism is, at it’s core, a cancer. It kills societies as much as people, no one is truly safe.

    We didn’t quite forget yet, but if we are too distracted in 2105 to remember 2025’s echoed warnings from WWII and the Holocaust (1945), humanity will not survive to see 2185.

    tl;dr: Warning: May contain nuts or cults.

      I’ve never sympathized with fascism, only with the selling points that are almost the same with the lefts.
