Chinese officialdom has abhorred drugs since the Qing Dynasty, when opium ravaged society and sparked the humiliating Opium Wars.

Anyone with a functioning brain wouldn't want drug trafficking in their country.

Propaganda narratives still invoke opium as part of a “bitter memory” of foreign exploitation.

How is it propaganda when it is clearly foreign exploitation?

Sounds like they just don't care and they're living on autopilot. And why should they care when they have no hopes for the future?

I weap for the future.

You should be blaming baby boomers for creating this bleak future.

Your girlfriend is the asshole here.

My girlfriend says she doesn’t like that I don’t work and don’t do anything to “develop myself”.

Yet, she herself doesn't work and she relies on you financially.

she says she doesn’t want to get a job because I don’t have one

That's just an excuse for her not to get a job.

I would get where she's coming from if she has a job and doesn't rely on you financially. Sorry but she sounds like a leech that's complaining her provider isn't providing enough.

Would leaving them make them change? If you stick around, you might be able to change their mind on some issues they don't feel so strongly about.
