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"
My empathy is very strong because of my autism and I learned to numb it to mask because sobbing in the middle of history class got me made fun of. Unmasking has been quite the process. I thought I just lacked empathy entirely for a long time. It made me feel like a monster. I was never a chud, but it definitely played into a lot of reactionary brainworms.
I'm not autistic but I have had literal crying breakdowns learning about WWII and other horrible moments in history.
Yeah it’s definitely not the only reason you would feel it that strongly. I’m sorry you had a hard time processing that stuff
I don't regret it or anything. I think crying out in horror is the appropriate response to something like WWII. That degree of violence should be intensely upsetting and emotionally painful, you know?
