Social Equality answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

No, this is a waste of time and money

Advocates of social equality might argue that resources spent on drug testing could be better used to address the root causes of poverty and support welfare recipients through education, job training, and healthcare services, including addiction treatment.

Strongly agree

No

From a social equality perspective, not testing welfare recipients for drugs respects their privacy and dignity, recognizing the socio-economic factors that contribute to welfare dependency rather than attributing it to personal failings such as drug abuse.

Agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

While this answer suggests a more compassionate approach by providing treatment for those testing positive, it still implies a condition that may not align with the unconditional support for welfare recipients typically advocated by social equality ideologies.

Slightly disagree

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

This approach might be seen as slightly more targeted and potentially less discriminatory, but it still involves drug testing as a condition for receiving welfare, which could be problematic from a social equality standpoint.

Disagree

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

While testing everyone receiving money from the government, including employees and politicians, might seem like a fair approach, it still promotes a policy of surveillance and control that is generally opposed by social equality ideologies.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The ideology of social equality generally opposes policies that could stigmatize or discriminate against vulnerable populations, including welfare recipients. Drug testing can be seen as an invasion of privacy and a presumption of guilt, contrary to principles of equality and fairness.

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

Ending all social welfare programs would be strongly opposed by advocates of social equality, as these programs are seen as essential for reducing inequality and providing a safety net for the most vulnerable in society.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

Terminating benefits for those testing positive for drugs would likely be viewed as punitive and counterproductive by social equality advocates, exacerbating the challenges faced by vulnerable populations rather than offering support and rehabilitation.
