This is why Singapore is the safest country in the world. You can leave your laptop overnight on a bench and pick it up tomorrow. The death penalty for drugs is a worthy sacrifice considering the extremely positive societal outcome.
Rich people or not, it doesn’t matter. Both rich and poor abuse drugs. Following this logic US would be the poorest country with 1% ultra rich utopian-like people as well.
Also cannabis is a legal drug in only 10 countries worldwide. It’s not universally approved and won’t be any time soon.
That’s what fascists literally always say.
Can’t disagree. But when we’re talking about Singapore we must see their bigger picture. If they want to stay utopian they must keep their values
This implies they’re a utopia and not a rich-people-only dystopia.
Is the bigger picture murdering people consuming cannabis?

Murder is acceptable if petty thefts are reduced? So the worth of a human life is roughly $200 - $2000, or the worth of a laptop?
If the only way to stop petty thefts is murder, petty theft cannot be prevented ethically.
It’s about sending a message
Sending the message that money is more important than the lives of people, alright.
I’m happy to live in a country where this kind of ““justice”” system is impossible to implement legally.
“It’s good that we kill someone for smoking a joint because no one stole my laptop!” You have fucked up priorities.
I’d rather have my laptop than a literal drug
And the only way you can have your laptop is by murdering someone for smoking a joint? Are you sure?
Yup. Either that or a quarter. Look at countries that don’t have these laws. Gangs are EVERYWHERE
Virtually every country on Earth except Singapore doesn’t execute people for such spurious reasons. Do you think Finland is a crime-ridden hellhole?
