Okay, to be clear, I’m not actually saying you should do drugs. I just found this picture funny and kind of insightful. I intended the title not to be a command, but as an 'if this then that" observation.

    lmao if you need drugs to understand basic empathy, says a lot about you.

    what’s the deal with leftoids and wanting to consume CIA created chemicals for the sole purpose of breaking up communist organisations??? imperalists literally use these same chemicals do fuck over developing countries. we as commmies critique the british empire for 100 years of humiliation in china with their use of opium to enslave the masses, but in the same breath willingly shoot ourselves in the foot by using these same disgusting chemicals. if i joined an organisation and there were drug users i would leave. instant red flag.

        lmao you can go to your orgs where everyone’s an addict/ stoner/ user and i’ll go to the ones where the people are inspiring, healthy, level headed champions of their communties.

        and don’t be a pedant. you know i don’t mean drugs for medical reasons. i’m talking about recreational use that leads to addiction/depandance/degeneracy

            go outside for once, go to a low socieo-economic part of town (that means leaving your mum & dad’s suburban mcmansion) meet an addict… and see if you’d want to be in an organisation with them. these lumpenproletarians are victims 100%. but they are not in the right conditions to be part of the vanguard at the moment.

              Paternalistic and frankly uncomradely. Pretty disgusting stance to on the one hand claim that drugs are used to victimize people but on the other say that those victims aren’t comrades, you would not organize with them, and you see them as degenerates. Not to mention the completely oblivious way you discredit literally all drugs as created by the CIA (really? peyote? ayehuasca? cannabis? psilocybin?).

              Do you organize with people who smoke? With people who drink? Are you ready to quit an organization because the members brought coffee to a meeting? Do you dig through people’s purses to make sure they don’t have any prescriptions?

              This broad-brush painting of “drugs” as a single evil thing, and not just a classification of certain substances made illegal specifically to disenfranchise (predominantly Black and poor) voters that has no basis in science. What a disturbingly uncritical view.
