But how many of those fentanyl overdoses were actually innocent people murdered by racist cops for no reason?

More seriously: why are they grouping these numbers from two different calendar years? Couldn’t possibly be to hide the fact that Covid-19 deaths among 18-45 year olds probably skyrocketed in 2021 after the vaxx…

So we're living through two health crises at the same time, the coof and fentanyl, both of which originated in ...China!

I wonder if there may be underlying motives for the Chinese [health] attacks on the US and the globe? You think they might have some kind of plan maybe?

Nice country you have there, too bad if something happened to it/

Pure fucking retarded crackhead speculation.

It is produced to interfere with our way of life, a form of 'soft power', and make money. They know from their own history how devastating drug use is to a society and use it to undermine every country they can.

The population impact is honestly negligible. More like demoralization if anything

That's ridiculous.

China already vastly outnumbers the USA. The only reason they'd need to "thin out" the population further is if they wish for full extinction, but any technique which could accomplish that would be far too dangerous to do.

"We currently outnumber the USA 10 to 1. But you know, what if it was... 10.1 to 1!" is your theory. There's little sense in it being done, from any perspective be it military, economical, or demographical.

But there IS sense in it being used not to thin the population, but rather to sow discord. As the USA experimented on its own people in the past (look it up), drug addiction is an excellent way to destabilize a group. Prior to the government's experiments on black communities by secretly spreading out drugs, they ALMOST were back to equality with white communities. Then poof, up in smoke: Fenty Floyd is an icon, single parenthood is the norm, as is gang warfare. Experiment successful, injecting large drug supplies into stable communities ruins them FOR GENERATIONS, huge destruction payoff for minimal investment. Public knowledge, public publishing of this experiment set, why wouldn't China take the exact same data and repeat the experiment for peer review?

Very few wars are fought like ISIS did, who ritually execute every man and woman in surrendering cities. In most cases, once the government collapses, they simply take over, and the citizens simply pay tribute and additional hardships and taxes to their new overlords. Slaves, servants, and serfs, not sacrifices. When you look for a motivation, consider what is the most profitable outcome for the perp: Some tiniest incremental population edge, or their primary competitor defanged and farming THEIR fields?

Not my theory mate, not even an American - just wanted to kick up some spicy discussion that I’ve heard dropped occasionally and haven’t seen it mentioned around here much.

Eh, they didn't. In for example Marawi they began hunting for the minority Christians (and shot a bunch in a desacrated church) but left even most of them unmassacred.

This is insane and saddening. Really though, how many should be counted as suicides instead of an OD? I imagine quite a few.

To be fair, I’m absolutely beginning to lose hope, now, and I’ve seen some very dark shit, in my life, so for people who haven’t, and for whom this is the worst shit they’ve seen in their lives… Are we really surprised people are OD’ing, deliberately or otherwise..?

I mean fuck, this shit just keeps getting worse. How the FUCK are people still optimistic, at this point??!

Nobody under 30 is optimistic anymore, the constant barrage of Climate Change fear mongering has seen to that.

I'm optimistic that our species will get what it deserves.

On an individual basis, it's still entirely possible to renounce this corrupt civilization and relocate to a remote place or community.

Have faith in God. It is the only way. I’ve been on both sides, and being optimistic is definitely the better path.

This is nothing. Things will get much darker. We’re not even killing each other yet, though I pray we do not descend so deeply into madness…

Some problems just solve themselves, like junkies OD’ing on drugs.

Obligatory reminder that Nurse Practitioners over-prescribe opiates and benzodiazepines like mad.

NPs are NOT real doctors but in some US states have more or less independent practicing privileges - if you ever need healthcare in the US, you can demand to be seen by a medical doctor specifically!
