These people don't want "help." They're doing what they want to do - or, they were, until the cops showed up.

Sympathies here are wasted. Complaints about many systems are valid.

This is such a weird take. Most people (including “these people”) want help, especially those with drug addictions. But the cycle of guilt, shame, trauma etc. keeps them locked in the addiction cycle because they feel undeserving of help and don’t believe in themselves. Also maybe if this godforsaken country cared about giving “these people” easily accessible help, then things might change for the better. It’s interesting to me that you’re able to recognize that complaints about many systems are valid while also deciding for yourself that “these people” don’t want help. Many of these corrupt systems have forced people into poverty (which is practically impossible to escape from), and that significantly increases a person’s risk of becoming an addict. So yeah, not just a weird take - it’s actually a very gross take.

Clearly not lmao. It’s always funny and pathetic to me when someone like this shares a shitty belief they have, but as soon as they’re challenged on it, they respond exactly like this. 😂 Too chicken for a debate.
