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"
It's nice to hear stories about people growing and becoming better people. Everything is so fucking grim most days it's nice to have a reminder that things can get better.
I actually spend a lot of time thinking about how Vietnamese cadres went in to rural areas and formed education groups and educated rural people until farmers with little formal education had a firm grasp of communist theory. That's always been really inspiring to me. We can be really disdainful of the hogs, but there's proof that people with limited educational resources can learn complex theory if they're just given and opportunity and the resources necessary.
