These people are chronically online and don’t have a single clue about what it means to meanfully organize. If I’m in my local action group and we’re fighting, for example, against the demolition of some affordable social housing project and in the middle of the meeting I whip out some drugs or something, I’ll get my ass kicked out of the group. Not because they are against drugs, but because you’re not getting anywhere if you see it as a quirky fun little party thing.
Organizing is a serious thing. You need to study theory, you need to read decisions made by your government, you need to get out and talk to people involved in your case, you need to find ways to tackle the problem, you need to organize large groups of people. If you don’t do these things then you don’t know what the fuck you’re doing.
Sure, we go to a bar and have some beers or something every now and then but that’s not why we’re in a group.
I sometimes lurk on twitter, and this was something people were legit getting upset over. Like yes, you should be able to clearly express your ideas, and also, if you’re high while out organizing, you don’t know what might happen and you won’t be ready.

I imagine it would be quite difficult to organize anything while drunk or high
I can organize a mean karaoke sesh during a night out but me singing Dua Lipa won’t get the proletariat moving I think
