The war on drugs is a scam. Cocaine prohibition is a pretext to oppress indigenous peoples of the Andes. https://filtermag.org/world-health-organization-coca-prohibi...

The war on drugs is a scam, but pretty sure if the primary goal was to oppress indigenous people in another country the US government could’ve found a cheaper way (both fiscally and politically).

Yeah, it's more of a cherry on top than a primary goal.

		I don’t think Nixon cared about indigenous people in South America. Not because he was a great guy, just because they didn’t matter to him even slightly. He definitely cared about communist militias though.
