I’m not sure I understand what you mean by this:

He seems to have spent a lot of time on early tumblr, but young lefty activist women horrified him. I don’t think anyone explained that people are nicer in person and volunteering in person is a great way to fall in love.

Could you explain?

I guess the “end the drug wars and stop the attacks on communities of colour” politics of that I assume many harm reduction activists had in 00s/10s California wouldn’t gibe well with the “I am rich and smart and I will never die so I should be allowed to do whatever I want” politics of TESCREAL.

I’ve never been a drug user but my impression is that like safer sex education, harm reduction education is actually more likely to turn people off using drugs than encourage them to try it. Like, check out this page about amphetamine harm reduction, which mentions that taking it might affect your immune system, damage your heart, cause psychosis and trigger mental health problems and cause malnutrition. Doesn’t exactly make it seem attractive!

Wow, it’s formerly gifted children all the way down.

Speaking of 60s psychedelics use. This is from an interview with two members of 1960s band The Pretty Things:

microdosing LSD [is] a practice [Phil] May thinks may have been invented by a keyboard player who performed with the band in the 70s. “He used to have a little lick of acid every morning while standing on his head, doing his yoga exercises.” And did it help him psychologically, as latterday devotees of microdosing claim it can? “Well, no, not really,” sighs May. “He went pretty loony, to be honest.”

Either Collison or his brother or both have been funding an abundance-y think tank in Ireland which has been the subject of some public controversy (complaints about “red tape”, etc.) Their genius proposal for increasing housing supply and density was to let homeowners build sheds in their back gardens and rent them out to people, a proposal our unscrupulous right-wing coalition government took on despite, you know, all the drawbacks of creating a new source of poor quality housing with insecure tenancy. I don’t have it in me to go looking up facts about those two gobdaws at this hour but there has been reporting by the Dublin Inquirer on the think tank.

Two shit tastes that taste shit together

The problem for them is that the cops are actually the army of the rich and state and national government is controlled by billionaire lickers. They could go to DSA meetings and picket, but at best they could get a DSA member to be rude to them and then complain about it.

These people are convinced it’s the poorest that are getting a free lunch.
