    Careful this is only one leap away from conservative talking points. They are convinced China is sending tons of fentanyl.

    I once heard a guy convinced that the whole weather balloon thing was actually loaded with fentanyl and dusting the US with a fine fenty coating. Because that’s how the Chinese were going to kill us or something

            Horseshoe theory isn’t broadly accepted. The Wikipedia page for it is full of academics pointing out how terrible it is as a model for understanding the far left and the far right, and this summarizes it well:

            The horseshoe theory is not widely supported within academic circles; peer-reviewed research by political scientists on the subject is scarce, and existing studies and comprehensive reviews have often contradicted its central premises, or found only limited support for the theory under certain conditions.

            The “stethoscope theory” is even less supported. Where on Earth did you get the idea that any of this made any sense?

    i’d agree to it but it reeks a whole lot of “moral¹ decay is gonna be the end of us” nonsense, and i can’t have that.

    [1] where “morality” is defined as being a good, productive, law-abiding citizen

      Mass addiction to opioids was not due to any “moral decay” in China and it is also not in USA. It’s just market creating demand for their product, in other words, capitalism working as intended.

        Also even outside of the capitalist framework of needing to be law abiding or productive citizen a drug addiction is still harmful. It harms your socialization, your body, and your psyche. Like it’s still not good for a person
