    No, not “too left wing”, just not far right enough for them. The US left wing is the equivalent to right of center in actual developed countries, to put that in to perspective. In other words, the crazy people weren’t crazy enough for the ultra crazies.

    I have a pet theory that amphetamines are inherently fascist. I’d be surprised if the “normal” meth sub is commie, but knowing what chuds consider communist, it’s not surprising that they’d make an even more hard-line sub.

      I mean, I had (prescribed) adderall for a few months that had me borderline tweaky at my given dosage, but I still remained decidedly not right wing/fascist.

      I never thought about it but I had a friend many years back that went on a several months long crystal meth and heroin bender, fell into deep psychosis, was hospitalized, and got clean after a while. He never went back to “normal” and remained much, much more conservative, right wing, and libertarian than he was before he went on the bender. Before that he was basically a militant anarchist.

        Fetterman became conservative after his stroke, too.

        I think it may be possible to damage the brain in a way that makes empathy harder.
