Even if this is accurate, is drug smuggling worth killing over?

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

We know it's not about the drugs. According to this administration any brown person is not worth considering period. I mean come on, does anyone truly think that the Trump family is not fully coke'd up? Drugs is just a thin pretense that plays to more moderate racists in MAGA.

The question is valid but they're not killing the ones responsible. There's a 99% chance the vessel is manned by a poor replaceable schmuck who's only in it because of desperation and/or greed. There are probably thousands like him that will gladly attempt the job again

Of course not. They are the ones responsible for it. They just pretend they are not as an excuse to go after minorities. The drugs come from the white man to destroy the minorities in any way they can. The war on drugs was never about the drugs, it was about the people of non white complexions.

Yes. Drug smugglers are inhuman monsters, like Muslims or Tankies or the homeless. You need to hit them fast and hard. Really go in Shock and Awe style.

As Thomas Jefferson once said, the Tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of our enemies from time to time.
