...we're gonna have to re-evaluate old concepts of free speech and democracy.

Everyone's on anti depressants/sleepers/speed, the chuds are blasting testosterone out their ears until they stroke, weed is everywhere and as potent as heroin.

Add the perfect dopamine delivery system, a political internet economy modeled on the addictive technology of vegas slot machines.

It's gonna have an effect on the national psyche.

Is it a partial explanation for Q?

Shout out to the divorced, biker, small business tyrant, dad...caught with test injectables and thc edibles, and guns, after the Capitol. Just the only man for the moment.

    Addiction blaming and schizophrenia dunking? Maybe I'm reading it wrong but this whole post just comes off like you hate people with mental illness.

    Keep in mind that most people with addictions are actually self medicating for a mental/physical illness that the current healthcare system refuses to diagnose/treat them for. And pinning a chud's negative features on addiction and mental illness as opposed to toxic masculinity/white fragility and other cultural garbage that literally told them to believe what they believe is what perpetuates the othering of people struggling with these issues.

      Absolutely not my intention to stigmatize mental illness or addiction in any way.

      Think and hope I've made myself clear in the other posts.

        Every country had addiction and mental illness yet not every country has children in cages at the border. What's special about America is it's culture. Particularly exceptionalism. And thinking that Qanon people have bad takes because of mental illness (addiction is a mental illness) is exceptionalism. That without the mental illness they would be "normal". It's like saying only someone mentally ill would commit a crime. It also ignores that there are addicts in literally every political leaning. Why do leftist addicts have good takes if drugs are what rotted chuds minds? It's because it's not the mental illness it's the culture.

          Don't think I mentioned addiction once comrade.

          I was suggesting a combination of many factors, including widespread use of modern parmaceuticals, as a partial expanation for Qanon. The culture and exceptionalism are absolutely also factors.

            Don't make exceptions. Widespread pharmaceutical use is addiction, it's just legal addiction. This is why the opiod crisis exists.

            And again, none of those things are limited to the alt right/Q anon. In fact, a lot of people cite their personal struggles with mental and physical illness/addiction as to why they're even leftist in the first place.

              Don’t make exceptions.

              I was referring to american exceptionalism, which you referenced.

              Of course these things are not limited to the right. I'm suggesting that Qanon etc is the way that they manifest on the right.

                No you weren't. You were implying there was a difference between pharmaceutical overuse and addiction and I said you were making exceptions. They are the same thing.

                  Leaving you here unless you got something constructive.

                    Why is it so hard for you to admit you didn't know shit when you wrote this? You gotta be either a chud or a bit.
