I thought it was referring to the Opium Wars

Dunno how you get that. MSG has nothing to do with opium.

Do you not understand the concept of "lying?" The comic is showing the British person selling drugs and calling it MSG. It isn't actually MSG. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah but they didn't lie about what Opium was. It's a weird obfuscation/selfcensoring.

The Brits would absolutely just ask kids on the street if they wanted some opium. Hell, forget the asking part, kidnap/buy them, get them hooked, and prostitute them was a go-to move.
