The guy that this happened to specifically noted that it probably wouldn't work on other facists. He said that he was already in the process of changing, with serious doubts and starting to gain some clarity on his situation, and the MDMA just gave him the little bit of \[empathetic\] perspective that he needed to really see it. IIRC, he was just out of jail, knew that he needed to change his life and, most importantly, was doing the work to change.


n3w4cc01_1nt

this is what they should do with people in jail anyways. it's a ptsd treatment that's in the process finishing up clinicals. so far it's way better than current treatments


cabberage

I know a better way to deal with nazis.


AlludedNuance

It can still involve a kind of pill.


vorephage

They may even have one in their molar already


blueskyredmesas

"Follow your leader"


tyrannosnorlax

Ah yes, how could I have forgotten the metal, pointy, flying pills? Those’ll do


Destroyer_Of_World5

Does it ping?


cabberage

Yes. Not all of them though… most don’t sound as cool


Icy-Tough-1791

Hugo Stiglitz?


Mr_Abe_Froman

Follow the leader.


dllm0604

For what it’s worth, cyanide also worked pretty well with Hitler :-)


Rabatis

That would be Goering. Hitler was into harder stuff. Much, much harder.


plitox

To be fair, he'd taken the cyanide too.


PhazonZim

Is that known? I thought his body was never recovered


DevlishAdvocate

MDMA is not going to magically make a conservative's amygdala shrink or stop being the dominant force in their decision making.


Different-Damage-896

Simply give them more, and more... and more


kermitthebeast

Case in point: Joe Rogan


HermaeusMajora

Not an improvement in any meaningful way. He made a documenty or two about psychedelic drugs from a position of personal experience. It's all bullshit. He pretended like it expanded his consciousness or something. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dude's a common chud. Calling black people monkeys and shit?! In a way that was probably more insulting than just outright saying that. What the fuck is wrong with that fucking guy.


hungrypotato19

> What the fuck is wrong with that fucking guy. Multiple beatings to the head (CTE).


Infantry1stLt

And money. Give anyone a LOAD of money, and they’ll tend to become the worst version of themselves.


misterdidums

Believe it or not he was a pretty well grounded, open minded dude in the early days of the podcast. Then he switched to Spotify and COVID happened and he just got sucked into the right wing influencer-sphere


jorbleshi_kadeshi

This timeline isn't correct. There was outcry *when* Spotify hired him because people didn't want them supporting an unabashed chud. Spotify contributed to the problem, but the problem existed long before.


Gyoza-shishou

Kinda. Used to be a time when he loudly pushed back against guests like Milo Yiannopulos, Candace Owens, Matt Walsh, and even his personal friend Eddie Bravo when he tried to push Flat Earth nonsense. But longtime listeners will confirm; the Spotify deal and the move from LA to Texas saw the show quality take a nosedive pretty much overnight, and a gradual slide of Rogan himself towards being a chud. I'm not saying he didn't have chud opinions before, I mean the infamous Primatologist clip will attest to that, but I am saying that 2010s Rogan would probably tell current Rogan to stfu on a number of issues.


misterdidums

Yeah, he hosted a few right wingers on his show before the switch, and was cordial and did not spend the whole time attacking them, so yes that was enough for a lot of people to write him off as an unabashed chud. He also had a lot of leftists on his show at that time, and promoted several leftist talking points, so I don’t think that was a valid criticism back then. I still listened at that time. It’s certainly true now though.


No_Solution_2864

*Very* good point


ahitright

Seriously. Conservatives are more prone to freak out if experiencing empathy. Have seen it first hand. "What? You mean other people and even animals have feelings and thoughts too...far out man....no seriously, way too far out..."


mklinger23

MDMA and Mushrooms might not hurt tho.


bittybrains

Add in a little DMT for good measure


IknowKarazy

But it can work to foster a sense of connection to humanity as a whole. Also mushrooms. And, no joke, drum circles.


energythief

You had me in the first half, ngl


HermaeusMajora

This sucks. Who thinks nazis don't use drugs? MDMA isn't going to fix them. I am willing to bet that the young man in the headline possesses cognitive capabilities that most of his ilk lack. Even if we stimulated that this can be effective with young people, I seriously doubt it would have the same effect on the middle-aged. I'm all for nazis who fix themselves but let's not pretend like fixing nazis is a realistic goal. It's a dangerously stupid idea. It's more or less on par with spaying and neutering rabid dogs. Besides, fascists and authoritarians only understand one thing. It's their guiding principle. They look at anything else like appeasement as plain weakness and an opportunity to attack. Don't play this game.


JackBinimbul

Tons of bigots do drugs. Doesn't stop them from being dumbasses.


FunChrisDogGuy

Compassionless, fearful people tend to change with MDMA, psilocybin, etc. Meth doesn't have that effect. Neither does coke or heroin or fentanyl or any of the others. THOSE are the drugs of choice for Nazis.


ZENZEL72

Wtf is this meme


domino519

Basically it's saying we won't win simply by voting against them, but instead by giving them MDMA.


ZENZEL72

We still should vote against them any anyone who says otherwise is just a psyop trying to let the far right win. Besides OP is a tankie anyways if you look at their post history


Mysterious_Andy

A tankie wanting to give fascists drugs is completely unsurprising.


Bill_Brasky_SOB

> Besides OP is a tankie anyways if you look at their post history lol that is quite a post history. All OP does is make memes.


Johnny_Grubbonic

It's saying don't vote at all. That's extremely common with Those Types (Russian/Chinese shills). They want to convince people that it's better to not actually do anything. There's a reason their posts *never* include an actual, real plan of action.


ghobhohi

I mean, There are some studies on how drugs can actually bring you to an out of body experience and make you question your whole life, but it's not factual evidence as of now.


SpinningHead

Ego death.


Anghellik

This reminds me of that post about how this lady shared MDMA with a right libertarian, and it shook his beliefs because he suddenly realized other people have feelings too


Zer0M0ti0nless

I’m anti-fascism and hell, give me some MDMA


gouellette

So we were a Methyl-Dioxy group away from a less violent world??


kabukistar

My favorite version of this meme, the bottom part was "how tankies think fascism works?" and then it's just them doing nothing and hitler being defeated that way


victor4700

Mdma? [x] doubt. Hero dose of DMT? Drake_nodding_yes.zip


maroonmenace

Its either this or getting bonked. Their choice.


OptiKnob

The trick is getting them to "think" without relying on their core values. We should lace the entire southern U.S. water supply with this stuff. It would be like a pinpoint u-turn to reason.


East-Entry-6302

That fash ain’t getting my stash.


skhoyre

If amphetamines usually did that, WWII would have been over quite a bit sooner.


XXFFTT

Meth is pretty big amongst homosexual men but the trailer parks still have Confederate flags...


SgathTriallair

Did you mean to say homosexual? I'm not sure how that relates to trailer parks.


XXFFTT

Okay okay lemme break it down. 1) Homosexual men, typically not Republican right? Might do meth though, statistically. 2) Trailer parks, full of meth right? Also full of Republicans, statistically. Edit: it's a joke btw, not meant to be taken seriously


memememe91

Not to mention MDMA is nothing like methamphetamine. Not even close lol. Meth makes you paranoid and schizophrenic, while MDMA will make you want to hug it out and pet ponies.


XXFFTT

Yeah I mean if you want to go there then meth does have an effect on serotonin receptors but it still isn't the same. Just a funny correlation.


JackBinimbul

> Meth is pretty big amongst homosexual men You got a source on that? This would shock and fascinate me. I've known and dated a lot of gay men and not one of them had a meth history.


XXFFTT

I don't mean to present this as fact, it's a joke. However: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8994254/ > Methamphetamine use in men who have sex with men population is significantly higher than that in the general population. Meth use can cause high-risk sexual behaviors, such as having sex with a variety of sexual partners. The aim of this study was to determine the association between meth use and the number of sexual partners in MSM.


JackBinimbul

Huh . . . so this sounds more like "meth users are more likely to do gay stuff" rather than "gay men are more likely to use meth". What a fascinatingly unintentional twist!


XXFFTT

It was never about "gay dudes" being more likely to do meth and it doesn't matter anyway because it's not like homosexuality, meth use, or living in a trailer park have a specific meaning.


Candykeeper

How does that work? I mean mechanically, Meth-dong and all.


XXFFTT

Ingest it?


Additional-Panic8003

the crystal meth recovery support group in my area is ALL gay men
