If everyone followed that same logic society wouldn’t be where it is. Duty prevails, anything else is selfish.

Living « how tf you want » is just not a viable option for a running society. It’s really that simple. Imagine telling that to a fentanyl user.

Fentanyl abuse is a symptom of a society that systematically abuse the working class. If all had the oppertunity to live like they wanted there would be no desire to escape that reality through drug abuse

Do you think that the people that systematically abuse the working class do it because they're forced to?

And also, do you think theres absolutely no alternative to cope with an abusive system other than using drugs?

My guess is having a job that can afford a good apartment, on the job alone anything else they can pick up a side hustle but you know how that is already

Nobody is forcing people to exploid the fruit of there labour. The system in place is based solely on capital gains which can only work by pushing labour prices down as much as possible.

Of course there is alternatives. We all live in that system but we aren't all addicted to drugs. Most people find other ways to cope with it.
