Why is this place called darknetmarkrts when all of the posts are about buying drugs. Is it OK to talk about slave and military weapon trading here?

Just wondering

We're criminals, not monsters. The drug and personal weapons trades cater to very different clientele than the military weapons and slave trades do. For the most part, anyone wishing to take part in the latter two is not going to find any genuine connections via DNMs, at least not the kind that get talked about on Reddit.

What is this?

I have a legal slave. It's called a husband.

//Puts up feet on human furniture for a quick rest before asking them to make me a sandwich.

Jokes aside, fuck off. The human slave trade fucking sickens me. I hope every single monster involved in it dies very slow and painful deaths.

You'd be stupid to discuss about purchasing military weapons on the clearnet. You'd have more than the NSA to worry about.

Why would you buy a slave when you can hire one? The logistics of buying a slave, or the situations that you could create to blackmail someone to being a slave, make it too expensive. Also, being a slavemaster is not an enviable position, slavemasters are usually slaves themselves.

Slavery is just an awful, miserable economic situation that arises only through force and coercion from the government or by organized crime, and the idea that anyone makes a lot of money off slavery is a fallacy (sex trade aside, as vices tend to be quite profitable and moreish).

As for military weapon trading, there's all sorts of reasons for it not being popular. In the US, who are primary users on reddit, it's a lot easier to make your own 'military grade' weapons through modifications or loopholes in the law or just flat out paying for it. You can buy pretty much any gun in the US with enough money, stupid exceptions aside like the street-sweeper shotgun (a specific revolver shotgun model, we have plenty of other revolver, not to mention semi and fully automatic shotguns of much better design).

There are people out there who may have access to firearms and could provide them to US citizens at great profit - say someone in Mexico or Syria, but the DNM just isn't big enough to attract people in those businesses to sell on the internet.

The punishments are also extremely heavy, draconian, which is why in Japan drug usage is so low (Less than 1% in Tokyo, the highest drug usage city in the country, and of that 1%, meth and weed are neck and neck). When the punishments are that high, you instead just go for an alternative - alcohol, a huge underground sex market, and bladed or blunt weaponry.

It would be quite expensive to ship weaponry, prohibitive enough that many suppliers won't take the risk (they're already doing just fine doing local business likely, an arms dealer in Syria isn't exactly short on customers), and prohibitive enough that buyers will just go for an alternative.

So if you want to go murder people, use a bladed/blunt weapon. If you want legitimate self defense, you can use a bladed/blunt weapon, and likely either live in an area where violent crime is so low that you wouldn't feel the need for a firearm (especially since the penalty if you got caught would be so damn high), or live in an area where guns are just easily obtainable that you don't need to pay mad bitcoin for it online.

As for guns being fun, well, there are plenty of options for fun usually. That's why airsoft is so damn popular in Japan, because it's so anti-gun. When it costs $2k+ for a piece of shit taurus, suddenly fabricating your own firearms or explosives isn't that bad of an idea.

It's definitely disenfranchisement to not be able to carry a gun, but when people live in safe areas, they become complacent about their rights and just let the government take them away from them. People in Europe live a cushy life so could care less about being restricted their freedom on firearms, people in the US live cushy enough that they don't really care that they live in a police state. There's no difference. If most people are doing okay, people tend not to bitch.

TLDR: There are too many alternatives to firearms that make the high costs prohibitive for the market to exist.

If governments make crimes out of actions and commerce that ought to be a matter of personal choice blackmarkets will arise. Sadly these must exist alongside crimes that violate personal choice, though, I think the current stupidity of drug law means that most people who seek out black markets are not concerned with hurting others and mostly annoyed to be in the company of predatory criminals.

Welcome to the speakeasy.

Even prositution COULD be a safe profession if not driven underground, but in the dark it's dangerous for the women and young men it harms.

Let me stop before I start really ranting....

Most of the posts are actually by young kids talking not about drugs, but obsessing about the envelopes and trying not to look "sketchy" in front of their postman, who has x-ray eyes.

Yeah, of course you can talk about slave and military weapon trading here.

Not that I think you want to. You're just showing off to someone who means more to you than you care to admit.

I think its not discussed much because you don't see many slaves or stinger missiles for sale. Sure, I've done a little slave trading in my time. Who hasn't?

Mainly the markets on the darknet are used to trade drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. Just like your friend.

Don't be ashamed to tell him how you feel

Boba Fetts Slave 1 spaceship was a unique and badass design. You can pick up vintage ones and newer Power of the Force (90s) on eBay... and Lego even makes a badass Slave 1 model!
