Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Yeah agreed. There’s just a tiny bit of a difference between enjoying a coffee in the morning, a beer or two on the weekend, or dry vaping some weed at the end of the night…. and fucking being addicted to ketamine and non-medicinal use of adderall.
That shit ruins your own body, your life, and all your relationships and it’s objectively a reactionary take to celebrate that type of drug abuse.
Communism does, in fact, require our productive labor.
Not everything is so black and white that the opposite of demonizing is celebrating. In no way do I celebrate his drug use, however it is the most human thing about him.
And as an aside for the parent comment to your reply, framing drug use as only okay in a narrow band of prescribed circumstances is reactionary in itself and exactly the puritan/moralism aspect I was talking about.
