#yeah but have you maybe thought about not dying? #i really don’t see how the burden is on us #honestly between #black lives matter#march for our lives #and the #opiod epidemic #we have a system that is ultimately being sustained by prejudice and greed #and being paid for in human lives and human misery #drug companies push addictive pain pills and have been legally protected by congress for sparking the opiod epidemic #an extension of the war on drugs and its disproportionate prosecution of poc- #which ties into police violence against black communities #and of course police violence is #gun violence #another unacceptable but wholly profitable epidemic #all so gun manufacturers can sell weapons to people by scaring them with footage #of all these “protestors” making a ruckus and trying to ‘take away’ their rights to own a semi-automatic assault weapon #people are dying #and all a distressing number of politicians and the right ring media can do is criticize the victims
