I did this some months back. It didn't hit me until I looked at the time, from across the room, to see how close I was getting to needing to leave. It then struck me, I can read the clock from across the room...
They are miserable and very insecure. They look to the past, where they can only imagine what that life felt like, and imagine what they would have had back then, that they don't now, and the big difference is that progress has reduced all the subjugation. So they seek subjugation of others in hopes of reclaiming their security and manhood. When they look back, they see men in control, and only men, and they feel like they got ripped off.
I was more implying that if this blows up in the their face, the public statement will be it was a mistake, made from ignorance, to evade responsibility. Sorry if that didn't come off clearly. Making sure implication gets across online sucks.
take this as you will, it is copy pasted from a site. most other sources i saw up to reading this said the same shit, so it is probably fairly accurate
The Punishment for Marijuana in China
Possession & Use: Individuals caught with marijuana or using marijuana will face administrative detention between 10 to 15 days, as well as fines of up to 2,000 yuan ($280 USD).
Trafficking and Distribution: Selling or distributing marijuana is a crime. Punishment for those found guilty of handling over 50 grams includes a minimum three-year prison sentence, with life incarceration or death being possible penalties for larger weights (or in special cases).
Marijuana Cultivation: Growing cannabis is another criminal offense, no matter how many plants. People arrested for growing marijuana could spend five years in jail and pay a hefty fine. For larger amounts, the punishment is even steeper.
Bunch of people around here are out-right admitting they didn't really pay any attention to what anyone running was saying. They heard trump say he would bring down prices/kick out immigrants/guns/no abortion/whatever single issue, and just checked the box. The manufacturing workers here are especially loud about how they feel deceived because they didn't listen to anything he actually said, or just didn't know what tariffs are, like at all.
Will any of them vote otherwise next time? I guess we will see. Bunch of them are honestly holding to the "short term pain, long term greatness" cope.
