#like Emil said the leftism leaving peoples body’s when they’re asked to be normal about addicts

I think something happened when addiction was reclassified in the public consciousness as a disease in combination with serophobia/ableism that is not necessarily better than how addiction was understood before, where rather than being viewed as a bad person the addict isn’t even viewed as a person at all but some kind of infected thing, a parasitic untouchable.
