Comment on A society that runs on stimulants is badly brokenparent

Comments

The romans had society. No tobacco or coffee

They were alcoholics, opioid and weed smokers

Also there’s absolutely no aspect of Rome that I would want to repeat

it was a bunch of pederasty, slavery and overall horrific conditions for almost everybody

Heroin? That was not discovered till acetylation was invented in the 19th century.

no, opium.

They edited the original comment, first they wrote heroin to which I responded.

President ran a child rape cult

First world office workers codependent on sweatshop slavery

...but conditions improved for majority

1 of 3 we did better than the Romans
