    Careful this is only one leap away from conservative talking points. They are convinced China is sending tons of fentanyl.

    I once heard a guy convinced that the whole weather balloon thing was actually loaded with fentanyl and dusting the US with a fine fenty coating. Because that’s how the Chinese were going to kill us or something

    The colonizers relied on other nations to be rich. And the rich will flock again when the nation dies.

    i’d agree to it but it reeks a whole lot of “moral¹ decay is gonna be the end of us” nonsense, and i can’t have that.

    [1] where “morality” is defined as being a good, productive, law-abiding citizen

      All it says is “Addicted to opioids” you decided to read it that way, it’s really not that deep

        Also even outside of the capitalist framework of needing to be law abiding or productive citizen a drug addiction is still harmful. It harms your socialization, your body, and your psyche. Like it’s still not good for a person

      Mass addiction to opioids was not due to any “moral decay” in China and it is also not in USA. It’s just market creating demand for their product, in other words, capitalism working as intended.

    I mean, what do you expect when there is a lot of religion in a country? Religion is the opium of the masses after all.
