I would like a modern Tale of Two Cities about a veteran in LA becoming homeless and dying of fentanayl as a homeless person in Moscow gets forcibly conscripted and sent to die at the front in a human wave attack
>Being homeless in America sounds fun, you can basically just do whatever you want on welfare and get high all day
until the local basketball american or border jumper wants your stuff
No it's because of the breakdown of social cohesion. opioid addiction went way up from pot legalization. People glamorize drug use then blame drug companies when their bad choices come home
>No it's because of the breakdown of social cohesion. opioid addiction went way up from pot legalization.
What a bunch of nonsense. It all started when Perdue wanted a billion dollar drug and did everything in their power to get it.
Neoliberal economic reform in the 1970s-80s.
Deindustrialisation of the country.
Financialisation of the economy.
I feel like it is partly deliberate, a backlash against the unrest of the 1960s and 70s - if people have solid working class jobs and cheap or free education they have a base from which they can organise and threaten capital, but if they are struggling to make ends meet and cant afford education and scared of losing their job then they will be passive.
This is particularly true for minorities, elites were very incensed these people were going to college and getting degrees and then being ungreatful, and it is the black working class that was hit hardest by this process, and then had their neighborhoods flooded with drugs.

Not fricking happening. The world is pretty much healed from the pandemic at this point. Cities are back to normal, homelessness and drug use are way down, people are back to work and wages have never been higher. Only collapsed is you personally.
Ive been keeping track of my county's overdose deaths (it's actually quite nicely done). We've been seeing record years every year for the past 5. 30% growth yoy in 2023. Already a hundred dead so far in 2024 and it seems january is usually a lull
The cities are hustling and bustling bastions of wealth and progressiveness with jobs galore and very low crime rates. These tents were set up by Faux News.

There isn't any collapse, these people just willingly check out of normal society because they're fed up with all the bullshit
>these people just willingly check out of normal society because they're fed up with all the bullshit
Or they are mentally ill or addicted to opioids

Look outside
How did we get to this point?
starts with the letter 'j' and ends in 'ews'
>nooo the israelites force me to consume welfare, fast food, and drugs
just get a job + show some restraint
Nations just became marketplaces for corporations. Every national asest got sold off on the cheap to the private sector by corrupt politicians
>How did we get to this point?
We had a wave of opioid addictions due to unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies.

No it didn't.

But enough of the leftwing talking points
>I dont want to understand

I understand your talking points well enough. I just don’t think they are correct
they never look like they're having fun when I see them. saw one walking down the street literally shitting himself the other day
Neither are "fun". One is a personal/mental hell, the other is a literal hell.
