    To everyone thinking this is a uniquely mean thing. Its a trend at the moment for people to “fent lean” to mock americans. It doesnt matter if its mean to fent addicts they got bigger problems and dont care about kids on tiktok. It hurts Americans because they KNOW its a problem and they are ashamed and they want people to either pretend it doesnt exist or pretend to care because thats what they’re doing(generalization). Its a great attack on Americans IMO.

      You’re off your rocker if you think Americans spend much time feeling embarrassed about its tiny number of fentanyl addicts.

        Those would fit into the camp of Americans that pretend it doesnt exist and they dont like being reminded that it does exist and its an American problem.

        Look at your comment for example, its not a tiny amount of fent addicts, your streets are full of them. I went to LA Precovid and it was disgusting people seeing people drugged out living on the streets being treated like its normal. There were 500k people homeless at that time, now there are 800k. You cannot sit here and say thats normal or say its only a tiny amount. Fent deaths have more than doubled since then homelessness is on the rise, drug use is on the rise.
