Then why is the butt of this joke not the corrupt healthcare system or the CIA distributing drugs as a power play or any other number of angles? If they wanted any depth to the joke beyond “haha addicts” there are dozens of better ways to deliver it.
Edit: on top of that, fent addiction isn’t even uniquely American. This clip could just as easily be mocking the people I’ve seen slumped around Toronto.
Tell you what, you come up with a joke that pokes fun at the inherent corruption in the US medical system where drug manufacturers, drug regulators and insurance companies conspire together to manufacture a national addiction to opiates and anti-depressants and how that addiction has spiraled into the world’s highest rates of opiate abuse and how the citizens of another country don’t want this aspect of American life foisted on them at the whims of a dementia addled paedophile. Then boil that joke down into a 5 second video on TikTok and I’ll concede the point.
It’s really crucial to take jabs at people living a literal hellish nightmare because there’s no other way we can get our high minded, avant-garde social commentary across! 😭
My healthcare system? First off, the people living under that system are victims of it. Being addicted to drugs is awful and not something that should made fun of. And second… you don’t know me, I’m French, fuck off with your shitty assumptions.
That and the CIA importing heroin on an industrial scale. The point is that opiate addicts are marginalized victims of the same oligarchy that’s now threatening them, not the ones in power who actually deserve hatred.
The opioid epidemic was directly caused by your own healthcare system 🤷♀️

Christ, it’s a flipping meme. You’d think noone made a joke about addicts before.
Woah, deja vu! I’m pretty sure I’ve heard this exact same response from shitbag US conservatives

Dress as Luigi.
B-b-but that’s not as edgy 😟

Your/their doesn’t really make all that much difference.
