I always thought the “war on drugs” was a big pharma turf war. Nearly every school shooter was on an antidepressant, but somehow that never makes headlines.

- int_19h 2y agoIn US, the original war on drugs was racial in nature (targeting blacks and Mexicans specifically). The particularly heavy-handed enforcement from 1970s onwards that spawned the term itself broadened into a war against the social and cultural opposition to the status quo - still partly racial in nature as various black civil rights and black power movements were a significant part of that, but also targeting anti-war protesters, "pinkos" etc.
