    I wouldn’t call that dunking on the addicts. I think it’s dunking on the system that allowed the pharma companies to make them addicted (and get rich beyond comprehension in the process) and refused to do something meaningful about it.

      I don’t see that at all. Sure it’s the system but they are not making fun of insurance company CEO going around with a big deny stamp. They are mocking the victims.

        They are mocking a society that funnels money into the pockets of people like the Sacklers and at the same time denies basic health care and social programs. Instead, the solution seems to be to criminalize homelessness.

              You are hallucinating a lot of depth that doesn’t exist. The butt of the joke is the crippling addiction of the most vulnerable people in American society.

              As a rule of thumb: if the joke wouldn’t bother the corrupt pedophile cabal currently plundering half the world (or their volunteer jack boots) then you’re punching the wrong way. If this was about rich kids on coke or a billionaire in a k-hole it would be an entirely different joke

                  Nothing challenged my perspective here. I know people suffering and dying from this stuff, I have friends who work with addicts daily. I’m here to advocate for the people in my community who are suffering more than any of the people in these videos (or any of us commenting here) through no fault of their own. Their lives are being ruined by the same fascists pushing this war-hawk imperialist shit.

                  We have stop this jingoistic-tribalist-slop. Would you like to see a funny trend where people laugh about being mutilated Palestinians for a 5 second joke on Isreal?

                    It will bring more attention to the genocide if there was a meme of IDF terrorists doing genocide things and the western media can’t bury it. Not the worst idea, not the best either.
