mfw when wishing that we could address the social conditions that push people toward choosing self-destructive patterns of behavior instead of treating it as a scarlet letter that justifies (further) ostracization.
I know we all know that capital uses drug abuse and the larger sphere of vagrancy as a social pressure/conditioning tool, but it’s crazy to me that people always vote to do everything to make “crackheads” and other of that outcast social caste’s lives worse. We always want to punish the vulnerable and downtrodden simply for the mistake of being vulnerable and downtrodden. It’s really just the worse thing, and creates downward vortex of misery.
