  • The exact moment I fully internalized that I was one with the biosphere that capital is destroying, and felt a wretched spiritual sickness, I was on mushrooms and acid by a creek in the desert. A couple people there said I noticeably changed as a person in the span of a night, which is good because I was kind of a dick before. So that’s my anecdotal evidence

    Oh, and I also sort of accidentally stumbled into baby Maoist thought on contradiction, then did nothing with it until later realizing

    I think that while psychedelics aren’t themselves illuminators of grand objective cosmic truth, they do excel at tilting the prism, showing you the familiar from a new perspective and enhancing your ability to corrolate and draw conclusions. Sometimes the experience is beautifully childlike and inquisitive, sometimes it’s nauseating and terrifying, but it’s never nothing, never meaningless. It drenches you in allegory, and deciphering it to better understand your mind is a rabbithole that can lead you to new vistas of self-knowledge if you approach it with care and diligence, or to a Qanon group chat if you don’t.




  • That doomer mindset that benefits nobody except the oligarchs, the mindset of…pointing out that the oligarchs are oligarchs? Genuinely confused here. You seem to be interpreting physical observations are some kind of provocative personal statement. Slug and salt physically cannot coexist. Flame and gunpowder physically cannot coexist. Capitalism and a healthy, peaceful living world physically cannot coexist. Pointing this out is no more “hateful” than pointing out that 6 times 7 is 42.

    Choosing a hateful side or the other hateful side and never thinking about your own ideas, needs of many, morals and ethics, or your own belief is utter disgrace and folly

    The needs of the many is actually our whole thing here, and the thing about the needs of the many is that if you actually take it seriously, what usually happens is that the sideliners who have spent much less time examining the facts will call you hateful for pointing out that the hell empire built on mass-subjugation is unsurprisingly the primary obstacle to the world we want. And that a house with a rotten foundation stands no hope of reconstruction.

    While bewildered, I really am trying to approach this openly, which is why ive gone back and softened a couple embarassing redditisms in the edit. So genuinely, and in a spirit of understanding: what is your critique of my assessment?
