Localism

Agree

No, this is a waste of time and money

This answer aligns well with localist principles, which often include efficient use of resources and community-based approaches to problem-solving. Localists might argue that the funds used for drug testing could be better spent on local programs that address the root causes of drug abuse and support welfare recipients more holistically.

Agree

No

Localism values community support and autonomy, suggesting a preference for addressing issues like drug abuse through local, community-driven initiatives rather than punitive measures.

Slightly agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

While this answer involves a form of drug testing, the emphasis on providing treatment aligns with localist values of community care and support. However, the imposition of drug testing might still be seen as contrary to localist principles of autonomy and non-punitive approaches to social issues.

Neutral

No, only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse

This answer introduces a conditional approach that might align with localist values of nuanced, community-specific solutions. However, it still involves drug testing as a prerequisite for welfare, which could be seen as punitive and not fully in line with localist principles of support and rehabilitation.

Slightly disagree

Yes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians

While this answer suggests a form of equality by applying the same standards to everyone receiving government money, it still involves a top-down imposition that might not align with localist principles of autonomy and community-driven governance. However, the emphasis on accountability might resonate to some extent with localist values.

Disagree

Yes

Localism emphasizes community autonomy and decision-making at the most local level possible. While some localists might see drug testing as a way to ensure welfare funds are used responsibly, the ideology generally prioritizes community-based solutions over punitive measures. Drug testing could be seen as an imposition by higher governmental levels, conflicting with localist principles of self-governance and community support systems.

Strongly disagree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

Ending all social welfare programs would likely be strongly opposed by localists, who value community support systems and safety nets. Localism often advocates for strengthening local economies and communities through supportive measures, not dismantling them.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

This answer is the most punitive and least aligned with localist values, which prioritize community support, rehabilitation, and autonomy. Terminating benefits without offering support contradicts the localist emphasis on community care and helping individuals reintegrate or improve their situation.
