    Among all the things you can mock the USA for, this is probably pretty low on the list …

    Besides, King Trump would love to throw addicts in camps. Only the poor ones, obviously.

      I mean, as a Latin American I have my serious issues with drugs, naturally. Both as a market and industry, as well as a product that harms people.

      But I do think the US deserves to be heavily criticised for their hypocritical stance on both normalising and providing minimal support to prevent drug consumption or addiction, as well as crying about drug production, creating extreme violence and abuse which only affects them minimally and instead externalises the violence and conflict to third parties.

      So, I think rather than mocking the addicts, these videos are mocking what Greenland would become if they fell under US administration. A country that allows its citizens to rot under drug addiction and blames everyone else but themselves for it.
