Fentanyl Is Not the Problem

Humanity grew from our desire to communicate and take care of each other. There is ancient evidence of severe injuries that could not have healed without the help of others.

The idea of objectifying others as criminals in a war on drugs is a product of the outrageous idea of health care as part of the profit seeking free market. The idea of rejecting people for care is an abomination. Other countries have health care, and don’t need to incarcerate those who can find help. We should look at ourselves instead of weaponizing pain relief and demonizing China for creating better drugs, which they don’t seem to have the same trouble with as we do. Of course, like every other civilized country, they have health care.

We vilify other nations to increase the market for our profitable weapons industry.

Capitalism is inhuman.

Materialists are punitive and would rather blame and use force instead of being thoughtful and using the power behind humanity and our success.
