wanting to get young people addicted so that they can be taxed.

it’s awful without the taxation, but that detail extends a message they didn’t have enough sense to hold back or at least sanitize - citizens live and die for the state, it does not exist for them, and the youth aren’t special in that regard - they were just an overlooked resource that wasn’t fully squeezed yet. and why wait until adulthood?
