Its funny because drugs are bad and the USA doesn't help people in need enough.

But like...maybe the drug users are victims?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

The users are the victims... of a failed society and government. Which is what they're mocking.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago

Of course they are...as are the Greenlanders, beginning in ... 3... 2...

This is literally the Greenlanders showing off what will become of them when the USA forces its culture on them.

Because they will lose their free education, their universal healthcare, their workers' rights, their social security, and possibly even their homes, because you can't own land in Greenland, so a bunch of ruthless US real estate speculators will be swift to move in, claim the land the Greenlanders have their houses on as their own and evict them.

They also get subsidized by Denmark so they'd lose all of that.

Everybody is the victim of America sucking at this point. I don't think (hope?) the intention of the video is to mock the victims, but to accurately illustrate just how excited the rest of the world is about the potential prospect of becoming American, and how jealous we are of their cultural superiority.

That said, I agree it's not exactly in great taste.

Addicts are leaning over because they got nothing to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

Is this leaning over thing something people addicted to fentanyl do? I've never heard of, or seen this before.

Heroin and fent addicts will bend over like that

Just..for the rush of blood to the head? Is this what Coldplsy meant all this time?

https://www.addictioncenter.com/community/fentanyl-fold/

Profound CNS Depression: Heroin and fentanyl are central nervous system depressants. They significantly slow down brain activity, leading to a state where the user is semi-conscious or "nodding out".

Muscle Weakness and Relaxation: The drugs cause extreme muscle relaxation, especially in the core, back, and neck muscles that maintain an upright posture.

Loss of Motor Control: The brain stops sending proper signals to the muscles to stand straight, causing the body to slump or bend forward at the waist.

They'd find out there is a HUGE difference between Europe's social benefits and the US' almost total lack of them.

This kind of stuff needs to stop globally. It's not the people that are bad. It's the government of the places. Drug addicts are not the ones threatening invasions.

[–] eupraxia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

the way I see it Donnie's the main drug addict threatening invasions, not the fent addict that got pushed opioids for a knee injury that never healed.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's the people who pay off the governments.

[–] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Billionaires? I don't think the average person in any country is paying off the government.

Billionaires.
