I dislike him because he chose to join the military, which I dislike. You cannot be a good person if you join an evil organization. Certainly not when the organization's only purpose is evil, before someone tries to go "but what about Walmart" as if that's equivalent.

Fentanyl is not a disease or pathogen, and I don't this is made with inactive fentanyl.
Are you thinking perhaps of an antidote?

Honestly blaming the drug manufacturers is also treating the symptom instead of the cause.
People turn to drugs to relieve pain. These people will still be in pain whether the fentanyl exists or not. You're not solving their problem by taking away their medicine.
And frankly there's also the issue that fentanyl is a spooky boogeyman that cops can have seizures over just by looking at and die from touching, so everyone treats it as if it exists only for killing people.

Not only is that absolute fucking nonsense, it's not really all that uplifting either.
You can't vaccinate against something that isn't a disease.

Trying to phrase this in a way that doesn't break Rule 7 but also clearly conveys my feelings on the matter.
I'm curious why you became a Navy SEAL in the first place when there is nothing benevolent or positive that the United States military does without ulterior motives. Was it a post-9/11 sense of naivete, or something more than that? Looking back on your accomplishments do you actually believe that the things you did for the government were beneficial to the world or do you understand how detrimental they were?

Half the things on this subreddit are actually not very uplifting and instead dystopian. "Small child pays for cancer treatment through poorly paid labor" and such. This just follows that pattern.
