    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

        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.

            B-b-but that’s not as edgy 😟

            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! 😭
