So the cartels, who profit directly from the high demand of drugs by Americans, were given weapons, by Americans, to meet that demand of drugs. They then essentially hijacked the mexican government with those guns and violence in order to keep their drug supply available to Americans, meanwhile destroying hope for peaceful life for many many towns and people in mexico. But it’s the Mexicans trying to escape those problems, once again created by demand in the US, who are the problem?
How very fucking American.
You know who doesn’t have a fentanyl problem? Mexico. They’re not the ones creating demand.
I’m simplifying, I know, but I’m very fucking tired of Mexicans and South Americans being blamed as if the US hadn’t fucked the entire country and almost the entire South American continent over for the last 50 years.
I know I’m probably preaching to the choir here but fuck man I’m just tired.
You do know that US intelligence agencies and military have been heavily involved in organizing the global drug trade, including smuggling drugs like Heroin and Cocaine into the US?
It has always been a tool of power. This is why Reagans wife told kids to “just say no to drugs” in a concerned voice, while her Husband organized tonnes and tonnes of Cocaine to be smuggled into the US to finance a fascist terrorist organization overthrowing democratically elected governments and killing tens of thousands of civilians. Oh and he used part of the profits to sell weapons into a war zone against US legislation and explicit decision of congress, so more brown people are being murdered.
Further fun fact, Mexican Cartels ended up with military assault rifles from the German manufacturer Heckler&Koch, circumventing export bans. So it is not just the US that likes to join in on it.
