You've missed the point. Orgies are fine. Drugs are fine (or at the very least your choice). There is however a huge contrast between smoking a bit of pot and going to an explicitly organized orgy with an enforced ratio and being fed MDMA and expensive presents by a CEO who wants to fuck you and your best friend.

Why is there a huge contrast, and how is this different from, well, basically all orgies we've heard about for decades now? Drug use is common at such events. The reported MDMA use is entirely consensual, so you are distorting things when you speak of someone being "being fed MDMA".

To take that attitude further, let's look at prostitution:

Prostitution is fine morally. However, the manner in which it is currently conducted in most of the world is incredibly exploitative. e.g. pimps beating the shit out of the people they're supposed to protect.

Bureaucrats can suck, but they are a whole lot better to deal with than pimps!
