Lawmakers in the state of Michigan introduced legislation last week that would adopt a total ban on pornography within the state. All of the proponents of the bill are anti-porn Republicans who liken legal porn to human trafficking and criminal conduct.
They don’t care about crime at all, it’s just a dogwhistle for black and brown people. If anything, this is a benefit because it means they can inflict harm on more people they don’t like during the “crackdown”.
Lmao good luck idiots. Already tried it with alcohol, then with weed. How’d those work out? Porn isn’t even tangible.
It doesn’t need to be absolute in success, it just needs to be applied arbitrarily to further abuse out-groups.
which will also have the opposite of their intended effect and create more crime via black markets, trafficking etc.
No, that is the intended effect. Their enemies will become criminals, which means they can arrest them and use them to justify further state power.

If I’m not wrong that was the whole point of criminalizing weed.
