So you're basically advocating for widespread rollback of civil rights, based on the examples you chose?

You don’t have a right to theft. Let’s go back to punishing crime.

"punishing crime" is a frankly insulting understatement of the way countries like Singapore or the UAE treat accused criminals. Not to mention the list of things that count as crimes there. I mean if you're that angry about shoplifters or homeless people doing drugs on the street, okay, but don't be dishonest about what these role model countries actually do

Solving the drug problem in US through decriminalization and harm reduction programs is an effective as solving gun violence through the same means.
