I am not surprised to find Bambu was a seeky tweaker his entire professional career. It is enough to explain what drove him to embrace coal and fascism and a white ethnostate under jebus. It just is not nearly enough to forgive him.
Legal... "tonics" the doctors called them. They were a great help for people struggling for energy, who were sick or recovering from the flu etc.
Legal..."NO DOZ", 100mg of caffeine good for keeping people awake and alert at work and while driving.
No internet in those days, no Dr Google.
We had coal fire heaters in our homes...'coke' actually,
Every day in winter young bambu would arrive home from high school at about 4pm and start a camp fire in the Kosi heater in the fireplace...newspaper, kindling wood, coke.
Shut the door, add more coke as necessary.
