It seems as though we are going backwards. We were doing so well in realising that all human beings are worthy individuals with emotional and intellectual depth, yet now so many of us don’t seem to see any problem with society encouraging many to reduce themselves to sexual objects. How is this rationalised?

It’s the same with the drug game. It’a not (all) drugs that are inherently bad… It the dealers pushing them.

It’s the same with porn… You have shitty marketing and businessmen pushing it.

Like… If you were prescribed Adderall and couldn’t get it because the shortage. If you knew a “good” dealer then they could get it for you and try to match your prescribed dose. But if you went to a “bad” dealer they’d push meth to get more sales in the future. Same goes for oxy and heroin/fent.

Marketing and the business is the evil. Not the actions so to speak. A good dealer or business man would help you stop if your life was going downhill.

Shit, it’s the same with social media influencers. They are just toxic and out for themselves.
