> Fentanyl only exists on the dark web because of the Chinese labs pumping it out. Wake up!

The chinese labs wouldn't be pumping out fentanyl if people weren't demanding it. If it isn't china producing it, it would be produce elsewhere ( even in the US ). Stop with your scapegoating rhetoric.

> They see this as just revenge for the British selling opium in China.

It wasn't just the british. A huge part of the US industrial and political power derived from colonizing china.

And we were a colonial power in china until 1949. Well after ww2 ended.

Though I disagree with your fearmongering and your erroneous equating of the US with britain, I do agree that we have to come to terms with china one day over our historical transgressions and their future ambitions. It's inevitable at the very least that china will want the US our of east asia and possibly want retribution for a century of brutal colonization/humiliation/rape of china. How these issues get resolved will determine the future of the US, China and the world in the 21st century.

Unsuspecting people are becoming addicted to Fentanyl because it is being cut into other drugs they are taking without their knowledge. It started with Heroin and has now moved into other drugs. Even Xanax has been found to have Fentanyl in it. So if you think this came about via supply & demand you should do some more research on the topic.
