You know when Britain did this shit to China there were two wars, an uprising, and eventually Mao Zedong undoing the entire fucking Chinese government and executing every last dealer. That's not to say that's the proper outcome but the US population is way behind on the level of outrage they should be having with the Sackler family.

It's really the thing that drives a lot of wars. It's a worldwide problem, not just an American one. The subhuman assholes are just the shiny enriched face of it in America.
