Disclaimer: I’m not a troll, I used to be very (too) active on GZD here and on reddit. Feel free to search through my history here or on reddit over 1 month ago. There’s also this using Pushshift. Regarding my name “Pinkeston” because the trueanon people kept pointing that out. It’s a play on words from the 1996 Weezer album “Pinkerton” (which I used to love but can’t listen to anymore because it’s incelly) but it’s “pinkest” so it’s more “pink” than “pinker”. I never knew of the “American private security guard and detective agency” when I chose this username 4 years ago

About 3-4 weeks ago I double steeped about 6g of shrooms to make a ridiculously strong tea, and while there’s so much about that trip that I could write about, I just want to talk about the title. I wanted to post this earlier but waited this long because there’s always an afterglow where you’re still affected by the drugs but that completely went away after only 2 days for me and I still feel the same or possibly even stronger as I did immediately after the trip

During the trip, I thought about the Russia Ukraine war since that’s kind of always on my mind and I imagined all the suffering that was occurring on the land. For a very slight bit I was dropped in the middle of the war field on the ground and experienced all the destruction and death around me and I cried and wept for all the victims that are experiencing Hell RIGHT NOW

I realized that resisting and escalating tensions can only lead to more harm and suffering. The fighting will never end. The total amount of deaths and pain caused worldwide in 100 years of resistance will be mountains higher than no resistance at all

Violence only breeds more violence. No matter what the politics are (NATO expansion, Azov massacres in Donbas, etc.), you can’t solve those issues with just more war

The only way to create a peaceful just world is to change it through companionship and love. Forcefully submitting others to your will only creates more suffering and oppression that will result in never ending cycles

Revolutionaries who have overthrown kings and dictators, workers that have forced their company’s hand by going on strikes, and even people who have gone against their employer/state by leaking secrets like Snowden, Manning, and Assange

I can respect their well-meaning intentions but all of these only contribute or create new problems that are the exact same ones they were trying to solve

I’m asking all of you to please consider and realize all the harm you’d be doing by even just unionizing at work. It’s a slippery slope to mass destruction and suffering. No more resisting for the sake of EVERYBODY

Make love not war

    Ooooh it’s my time for the quote today I see:

    Comrade, I respect your vision, but the power of love is not going to defend us from fascist capitalist rule I’m afraid.

    Also, abso-fucking-lutely unionize the shit out of your workplace.

    Class struggle solved by kid who does shrooms. Liberation of hundreds of millions of ppl, eradication of poverty, homelessness, and hunger, deemed “not worth it” by one person’s trip.

    I gave you an admittedly abrasive response in the other version of this post you made so ima try something different in this one.

    Is everything okay Comrade? You’ve being in-active for a month and then out of nowhere you had probably more shrooms than I’d ever recommend and are now talking shite.

    Hope you are okay.

    What you’re proposing only works if everyone plays along. Sadly, they don’t. And so, as Marx recognized nearly two centuries ago, our reality is instead defined through struggle. In a choice between remaining meekly oppressed with a small amount of pain but no hope, and rising up with a large amount of pain but some hope, I’ll stick with the latter.

    Bro is really asking people to just lay down and take it lmao. “ I’m asking all of you to please consider and realize all the harm you’d be doing by even just unionizing at work.” 😭
