The reason we are so fucked up
Here in the United States we seem to be baffled at how we are having a rise in violence and extremism of various types, racism sexism and random violence... well guess what if you look south of our border at the rest of the American continent you'll see that things are even worse there and in both North and South America things have been trending in that direction since the 1970s. This is what the migrants are escaping from… the insanity of the drug laws the USA has insisted that all countries follow in order to trade with us. Fact. The migrant border crisis is all due to the fact that the USA forces other nations to enforce our insane drug laws. That leads to the enrichment and empowerment of Drug Lords who govern Central and South America with mafia terror. THAT is what the migrants are trying to escape.
There is one singular thing that can be pointed to to explain this and really its beginnings were in the 1930s when we began banning certain drugs that were popular, but we decided should be illegal because of health concerns, physical and behavioral etc. That's when we made the ban on heroin/poppy cocaine and marijuana that's when we also banned alcohol!
We found out the hard way that the Cure was worse than the disease when we tried with good intentions to enforce a ban on alcohol! It corrupted and almost destroyed our justice system! That’s why we removed the ban! We changed our constitution twice in 13 years. But the bans on the other drugs remained and during the 50s 60s and 70s we began enforcing those laws vigorously. That has destroyed our criminal justice system real good! That has destroyed the social fabric of this country and of all the nations further south on the American continent. It has made us dysfunctional. It has made us a factory for creating evil. We give incredibly insane incentives to people who sell illegal drugs and everybody who doesn't consider themselves a criminal are the market the purchasers, consumers of illegal drugs. It’s a formula for crime. Then we try to hire enough police and build enough prisons to enforce this insane concept again just like it was with alcohol. And all we do is create a mushroom that keeps growing and growing and growing and even the people that are drawn in who go to prison are not rehabilitated we gave up on even making an effort at rehabilitating them when the population got so high in the last 40 years. So now we simply house them like rats being tortured in some bizarre experiment in overcrowded prisons where there is no Law and Order. How do we expect for these criminals we've created with our drug policies to become better people when their sentence is to live in a world of no Law and Order? So these people come out MESSED UP and further sow the seeds of hate confusion and pain within our society. Now we wonder how somehow some of our social values seem to be worsening? Well I just gave you the answer! And by the way this truly is a global problem too.
One might ask how the problems I've described have anything to do with specific problems concerning racism or sexism... it's simply this when there is no Law and Order and when your justice system is in a state of confusion; that leads to people naturally going down to their most base ugly desperate drives of fear and hate and lashing out for survival. Not to mention the fact that the justice system is spending so much of its efforts at enforcing laws trying to enforce evil Bad laws! All the justice system spends its time and money on is enforcing evil insane bad drug laws that should never have been created. All of the time since the 60s and 70s when we really began cracking down on heroin and cocaine and marijuana we have been NOT enforcing laws concerning simple hate, racism, sexism, voting rights etc. We've been ignoring those issues to enforce our bad stupid useless evil insane drug laws. We are getting what are leadership created for us. We own this. And the final price-tag is that the poorer countries south of the USA who we have strong-armed into enforcing our insane drug laws, those countries have seen their governments fall to the inevitable violence and corruption that comes with policies the masses/consumers don’t agree with. The migrant caravans on the southern border of the USA are desperately trying to escape the hellish consequences of rule by Drug Lords who were created by the policies of the USA.
