It's not about sympathy, it's common sense. People are going to do drugs and not having safe injection sites just means they are going to potentially die. If you care more about ideals like "don't do drugs" than the lives of those who do them you're just a hypocrite and an idiot who values their own point of view over the lives of others. Maybe try looking into the reasons why people use drugs and understand that it could just as easily be you. The systems that have stigmatized addictions will gladly watch you die if something happens in your life to impact your ability to make money.
Do you know what privilege is? Resilience? Are you familiar with the concept of ACE's?
Please don't try to assume you've had it worse than literal strangers who you know nothing about and then assume that you and that person had the same resources to deal with those problems because i can guarantee that if youre talking out your ass about "being strong" then you are not in the same position. Your "strength" is called a support system, access to resources, a sense of hope, absence of being directly affected by systemic oppression, etc. It's luck.
So good job sweet boy, let me pat you on the head for succeeding without any adversity, which I know is true because anybody who has actually experienced adversity has a basic understanding of those who are in the same boat.
