That falls under taking care of your own problems, without looking to the authorities. There was a time when we knew how to do that.

Saying a middle aged man or woman who became addicted when they became disabled after years of factory work should be killed, or teens that got addicted to meth in exactly the kind of place you grew up in because there is literally nothing there anymore is not based, it's callous, cruel and literal nigger tier "I got mine, fuck y'all" behavior. I could see it maybe in an Eastern European shithole but even in those places the people living there seem to be more compassionate towards those who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own than white Americans these days.

I know nothing I say will change your mind, I'm just adding nuance.
Junkies literally can’t be saved. You can sell your house to put them in rehab and they can just go get more drugs.

The only way they will stop is if they stop themselves. If you leave it to someone else to save a junkie, they’re going to get dicked around until the junkie dies anyways
 
going to the ER is wild, it almost feels like a gauntlet run to prove you're not some schizoid drug seeker and to actually get seen. Last few times I was there escorting a friend it was almost like they sat us with the crazies just to test our mettle and see how much we actually cared about why we came in.
The american medical industry in general being a complete and utter embarrassment second only to "KYS General" Canada and the third world is a major thing I wish the right would wake the fuck up on and smell the coffee about without the dirty "S" word coming to their minds and making them turn their brains the fuck off as they foam from the ass over the window dressing of the issue. As there's more problems than just the costs but the quality of... Everything.

You are quite literally assumed guilty until proven innocent while legally you can't "Abuse" or deny the obviously guilty because anti-discrimination due to "Addiction" being a disability or because of the usual demographics, making it an inside out system of sociopath enablers and people who really are too burnt out to resist it or do their jobs are all that's left doing them and taking out their pent up impotent aggression towards the aformentioned junkies on everyone except the pill poppers as a result.

I had to bow out of it because I was getting beaten the fuck down spiritually in a constant paperwork battle with fuckoffs and assholes to get people with cancer their time sensitive appointments fulfilled without some dipshit doctor or glorified RN who is the only person on the skeleton crew with the magic piece of paper allowing them to operate a myriad of "Push clearly labled idiot proof button and leave room" machines. In between any number of em taking a half day three times a week to dogfuck around.

After covid especially, the majority of GPs and hospitals and specialist centers have backslid into a bizarre fucking busywork minimum staff hellscape where top billing is given to people wanting cosmetic horse shit done because big money, troons wanting their plumbing quack job operated on and being forced by law to see every big black queen who's "Elbow feel funny"

And if you have any chronic issues, critical injuries, life threatening time sensitive problems or you are old and likely assumed "Raycis" by the black front desk woman you are left to suffer and go fuck yourself even if you have every dime in your pocket to pay for it upfront.


TL;DR: "Fucking stay healthy as you can possibly be." No paycheck at the cancer fume factory or indulgence is worth being put into this grinder til something is done about it.

I'll just say I'm not that keen on cutting that fine of a line. I'm willing to accept nuance, while I may be wrong I'll even say I might be poisoned from having a weird childhood memory and then having adults talk about it when I'm older and figure it out, on top of seeing what addiction did to other families I went to school with. I'm willing to listen to nuance, just please understand when it comes to addicts, I'll have a knife in my hand and my brain is half turned off.
 
I've worked medical/ER adjacent stuff before, and I walked away with a firm understanding that if you're being a loud/troublesome problem? You're getting blackballed real fast, if not officially at least via word of mouth shift by shift until the effect is essentially the same.

I am not at all surprised by some of the replies so far, it all tracks with what I've seen before back when shit was less retarded. Now? lol, lmao even. The problem is once they hit that point, the system already fed them too much delicious candy and they're already fucked. You need to catch them/clean them up before they turn into zombies.
 
without the dirty "S" word

After seeing how much funding was given to two certain foreign cunthole nations overseas.

It's getting tiring and tiring to hear the mainstream right talk about keeping gubmint out of your lives. All of them voted for things like the Patriot Act and helping Obama and Biden spy on the citizenry.
 
Not ALL homeless are mentally ill drug addicts, just like 70% of them.

Though if I was homeless, I'd head somewhere quieter and away from people. I'd rather unironically sleep in the woods without a tent than in LA during a riot. Even some alley in compton might be better


@Romeo Can you please include this in the 10th recap? JUST because its funny, if nothing else?
90-95% of the homeless you see on the street are mentally ill drug addicts. The ones who aren't are the ones who you don't notice because they don't look or act homeless, they live in their car or a motel, and are almost never chronically homeless. This group makes up the majority of homeless people, if I remember correctly.

That's fine, I have my own experience with it and some just can't be helped. But if someone is worth saving and wants to be saved that's a call I'm comfortable with making along with others; it's a group effort. Sadly TPTB spare no effort into making sure community is isolated, mocked and destroyed so it gets harder as time goes on.
 
My 2 cents. I went to the ER in pain probably a year ago. Thought it was my appendix or something. After sitting for an hour a nurse comes in and says "ayo I gotchu pain medicine" and I thought to ask what it was. It was fentanyl. I immediately declined. I later heard other nurses saying how they've been carrying fent around all day in their pocket and someone better take it before they leave. opioid shit is out of hand and people are getting on it from casual visits to the ER or post routine surgeries. I couldn't believe they were going to give me that for the pain I was in
Seems like its a mixed response, you can have a gallbladder about to explode and they will tell you to take a tylenol for pre and post surgery pain or you can have a fractured wrist and they will try to give you fent before they xray it I guess.
i really really wish trump would realize no shoot no kill means no end to riots. i really dont know what the fuck hes waiting for.
Boomers may unironically get upset over it and dent their voter base ig, I seriously doubt any politician, Trump included, actually cares about the citizens they supposedly legislate over in the end though. Its better than most options but I don't think Trump has it in him to do what needs to be done.

Is there some kind of condition like Munchausen's by proxy, but instead it is playing the victim by proxy.

It's almost like they are so used to playing the victim when in fact they are the offender that they use others to do so by proxy. Pic related. The Redditor is reversing the roles of victim and offender, but they are making it as if it were them.

I don't know if this is what sympathy is to a narcissist? That is how it plays out for them, perhaps. When they try to sympathise and place themselves in the shoes of another, they have to see that other as not the offender. And so they come up with pic related justifications for the illegal invaders.

I might be overthinking this a lot! Perhaps i should get some more sleep
