I am against the drug war and I think the cocaine thing was an urban legend. Also the US dollar is not backed up by oil.

The US Dollar is not only backed by oil, but also American banking imperialism.

Im against the war on drugs too. But speaking of drugs, weed is schedule 1, where Xanax is schedule 4 (low risk of abuse). It's completely upside down and not accurate. That said, the harmfulness of the substance and being for or against the war on drugs is completely separate from the fact that there's cocaine on literally every single dollar bill. Money is the dirtiest thing in general, and by those metrics, the US Dollar is dirtier

The US Dollar is not only backed by oil, but also American banking imperialism.

Keep your story straight next time.

from the fact that there’s cocaine on literally every single dollar bill.

Prove it.

92%, I may have used the word literally figuratively, but so does every other American

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contaminated_currency#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DResults_demonstrated_that_%2292%25_of%2C0.01-922.72_%CE%BCg_per_bill.?wprov=sfla1

That's the proof man, it's literally on the bills. We can literally see it

Also, what do you mean keep my story straight next time? It's not controversial at all that the US gets involved in military conflicts for oil or financial control (neorealism, neoliberalism). Oil is just one of the many incentives which makes the USD arguably dirty

92% == 100%

surely this man could not possibly be presented an image of a zombie that he WOULDN'T be afraid of, could he?

Are you really going to be that pedantic? to ignore my point that a lot of drug use is committed by the us Dollar by that 8%? You are a child

Damn crypto is so freaken awful. Not a single legit use for it that real money can't do better. No surprise that the people who defend it have to lie about facts and use name calling instead of arguments.

Oh did I mention 92% =/= 100%? I don't think I did.

You're just insecure about being wrong, it's okay you might grow out of it
