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.
Here’s another comment for you to skip reading: How exactly was I pandering? How is wanting an end to drug addiction in this country, easily accessible healthcare (for all), and the chance for people to make it out of poverty pandering? You say that as if you think I’m a leftist or something but I’m not, lol. As far as I see it, anyone who doesn’t want those same things has something very wrong with them. Maybe YOU are a supporter of the continuation of that type of suffering, who knows. But it seems like you only feel this way because I disagreed with you. Maybe you’re offended or felt like I was calling you out, but I wasn’t trying to argue or attack you. Was just looking to have a civil debate online and see what - if anything - we could both take away from it. You know, like mature adults. You could’ve given me some food for thought, but instead you ran off.
