People died from overdoses not to mention lots more ruined lives. I get you like the idea of drugs that are safer to order but that does not make it a good thing.

Also lots of child pornography, murder for hire, human trafficking, and all kinds of other shitty things took place. So yeah, not exactly a good thing.

America is also the number one consumer of drugs worldwide.

But I bet you won't see any of that money flowing to help that side of the problem.

Just more boots to the door and guns in your faces while we take all your shit and auction it off while you're locked up. Its sick.

Oh man, talk about a head fuck. Sending drugs/immigrants to Canada and guns/gangs to Mexico. We(usa) are rightly fucked as a society, over half of us probably feel a weird joy of being such a cluster fuck of a trailerpark neighbor. The shit we prop up, including narcissistic actions being praised, makes me glad that I'm seeing so many countries pushing back on importing more "American culture" and going by their own light.

I think the "seriously fuck america" is a little much and vague. Even if immigrants and drugs from Mexico were previously perceived wrongly (at least in amplitude and hysteria), I never thought "fuck Mexico". I think people are kinda forgetting that even if the coaches have changed, this is still America's playbook. They're not going to play unless they make us pay. We've been targeting smaller countries and doing the same bullshit with a clean smile to the world for decades. Look at the ACA, now everyone HAS to have insurance (doesn't help affordability, and sometimes costs more), and they've tacked on a yearly fine if you don't comply while basically allowing the government to subsidize the insurance ceos.

We're a publicly traded country now though instead of being privately cut-throat. Stock holders want their continued profits and they see bigger gains in bigger countries.

'criminal justice' would be cool; we should try it sometime. closest I've seen was pinned on some italian dude in new york.

Ulbricht was a sack of shit. He tried to hire several hitmen to kill agents investigating his stuff. He isn't someone you want to get behind.

I had never heard of him or the Silk Road. I just looked it up and it seems like there was some benefit to creating a place where people could find drugs without the dangerous human encounters that can happen during these sales but it also said that the site was used to trade in illegal weapons, hacking tools and tutorials, hit men for hire and other unlawful goods and services. Doesn't sound like much of a silver lining to me. More like an aluminum lining.

What does that have to do with Ulbrecht??

Edit: to be clear, darknet markets still exist, and never stopped existing. You don't need to pardon someone convicted of attempted murder for this.
