Cuz capitalism and the world we are living in is so fucked right now, esp with the economy. None of us will own a house, none of us are able to progress due to societal hierarchies, ai having the potential to take nearly all our jobs, mental health treatment is practically non-existent if your poor, everyone is basically fucked and so no one has a purpose anymore and so the only true form of escapism is for ppl to take drugs and just hope we manage to live to the next day due to it. It’s literally a coping mechanism to manage in this horrific world whilst everyone that is privileged af is literally taking everything we ever wanted.
