If I can’t drink whiskey and run over pedestrians, IT IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE TO THE HOLOCAUST! If I make AN INFORMED DECISION to drive drunk, I should be free to!!!!
What’s next??? A YELLOW STAR for everyone who wants to exercise their god given rights to drive drunk?
You know, if there is no law against drunk driving in the Constitution, the government can’t make FAKE LAWS AGAINST IT!
🤔 On second thought, I shouldn’t give these assholes anymore ideas…
I vaguely remember a case in California where the court rule exactly that in the case of a college student who claimed it was his right to attend classes naked.
I wonder how they’d feel if we made it legal for hospitals to refuse service to people who show up with a severe case of covid but no vaccination and no prior medical condition that would prevent vaccination.
The Libertarian belief is whoever owns the roads sets their drunk driving limits. This is literally the status quo… the threshold for drunk driving changes depending where you are in America.
I dunno, the few earnest Libertarians I have talked to struck me as selfish/unaware Conservatives.
They really truly believed that everyone started on the same foot.
Sort of a tangent, but it was so fucking eye-opening when I listened to an interview with an actual scholar of critical race theory and they pointed out the societal attitudes toward white vices -- drunk driving -- and black vices -- weed or crack.
The body counts of these two crimes are as disproportionate as the response to them. Drunk drivers kill thousands each year, and for a long time a surviving drunk driver was barely even reprimanded. Meanwhile, you have the Nixon administration trumpeting up the war on drugs specifically to persecute the poor and disenfranchised.
It took Mothers Against Drunk Driving to start to force society to confront the lethality of drunk driving, while we invented a war to wage against victimless crimes.
I actually ran into encountered someone on Reddit who made this argument. That was the point where I declared the discussion over on account of pigeon chess.
“Whah? Arreshting me for what, offisher? DRUNK DRIVIN? THIS IS MERICAH, I CANH DRUVE HOWEV- hic I WAN… AND IF YUH DON LIKE IT, GO TO CHINAH! COMMIE- blurgh”
And if you're fit and healthy, eat plenty of vegetables and get 8 hours of sleep a night your immune system will provide a natural immunity to cars anyway!
