Today Colin Spacetwinks mentioned running into someone with gauges and tats in his rural Maine area wearing a “shoot your local heroin dealer” shirt

And I was thinking about how that sentiment - often that exact slogan - crops up again in widely different subcultures and scenes – ‘70s blaxploitation, right-identified law’n’order types AND left-identified straight edge punks in the ‘80s, CasaPound eurofascists a few years ago…

I can’t think of any examples from the ‘90s (at least past the part that was really the end of the Long ‘80s) which is funny ‘cause that’s the point where you had a major subculture - “gangsta” - that if not particularly anti-dealer in theory was associated with far more actual shootings of drug dealers than all of the others combined
