Since it's been removed I pulled the post here:

"sorry for repost but the last title was too political so it got taken down

im currently 17 and pretty much all my life i have demanded economic prosperity and for politics to not waste their time on social issues that dont really matter.

but ever since i took my first tab, i have begun considering leftist ideology, such as free healthcare, reformation to education, taxing the rich, affordable housing, and putting a focus on environmental clense.

this current mindset i am being uncontrollably pushed towards is really scary, as i am becoming the type of person i wouldve bullied online a year ago

what do should i give up lsd so i can try and manage this political shift of mine or embrace the change"

    While I roll my eyes at the "JUST DO DMT BRO" Joe Rogan stans who clearly didn't gain much empathy from their fad drug of choice, if anything can shake a stock market sociopath from his planet-burning obsessions, great.

    It may not always work but I'm glad it did this time.

        When techbros microdose, with some exceptions, it often seems to futher Nick Landify them instead of grant them empathy.

        Maybe it's a garbage-in-garbage-out thing.

        Psychedelics are also used on the "pets" at creepy techbro sex parties as a sort of amateur-hour mind control thing, the trip guided along by the techbro telling the "pet" that she's a figment of his mind and exists only to please him. :kombucha-disgust:

          Everyone who did this should put against the wall

            It's one thing to be into hypnosis kinks between consenting adults. It's another for impressionable and often blindsided women just trying to get somewhere, anywhere in the silicon valley techbro hierarchy, getting coerced into being "pets" at these parties or else getting blacklisted for not being team players or whatever. And even if they do put out they're still marginalized and only kept around as long as the techbros get off to them.

              Yeah that’s the very very important key. If this was just a normal person orgy where everyone knew what was up beforehand and consented without any sort of weird power structures (outside of kink) it’d be cool and hot.

              I doubt this happening at Silicon Valley ghoul sex pest parties is safe or consensual.

                It's coercive and it shuts out women if they don't play along and it marginalizes and objectifies the ones that do, and these techbros then have the audacity to complain that the feeemales are the ones taking advantage of them for their money. :kombucha-disgust:

                Either way, women are put into a tidy convenient exploited corner. That's the worst part of it. Besides maybe the coercive drug-driven mind control hobby of far too many oligarchs.

        My dipshit understanding of LSD is it sort of... opens up all the switches in your brain, and causes all the information to flow and blend freely. Makes sense that it might cause you to connect some dots, or re-realize things you'd forgotten or suppressed.

          Check out "Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley. As a result of his experience with psychedelics he postulates that socialization creates stimulus constraints necessary for human survival and that psychedelics "open up the valve", so to speak. That's been my experience, too.
