  Actually, it’s stupider, the original meth subreddit made rules against posting images of drug use because reddit admins were breathing down their necks, some of the userbase deemed that censorship to be communist because something something 1984. Except, obviously, it was done because advertisers don’t want to advertise next to drug use. So it’s literally classic Americans calling the negative consequences of capitalism communism

    Everything conservatives don’t like is “communism”.

      That isn’t true. They also don’t like socialism, which they also define as communism.

      And way less. It’s still a meth community. If I head to a mushroom community, I’ll see mushroom identification and cooking. If I stroll down to the clothing store, I’ll find clothes and accessories.

      That Reddit is demanding the ability to advertise to meth addicts but only when they make their space more visually palatable, effectively gentrifying a corrosive community, is just peak capitalism.

    How do you know this crap? Like my head is also full of useless internet drama, but this specific drama I feel like requires some origination explanation.

      Well, if you browse any of the drug related subreddits on reddit you can’t really miss it. Heck, I browse almost only /r/steroids and I knew about it

    Isn’t that what the “quarantined subreddit” feature was added for? Advertisers that don’t want their ad next to a picture of meth use most likely don’t want their ads in a methamphetamine subreddit in general

    The cigar sub used to be over of the best communities, then Reddit banned us from trading or even mentioning it. Many users went over to places like slack. In the mean time an idiot became a mod and trashed the community that was left. So a second cigar community was created for the ability to even post pictures and discussions. Neither sub is anything like what made the community so greata few years ago.

  No, not “too left wing”, just not far right enough for them. The US left wing is the equivalent to right of center in actual developed countries, to put that in to perspective. In other words, the crazy people weren’t crazy enough for the ultra crazies.

    Yeah and it’s not even a stims thing. I’ve seen progressives down Adderall between shots and do coke. But the one meth user I’ve known was a queer republican who tried to lie her way into relationships with people.

  I have a pet theory that amphetamines are inherently fascist. I’d be surprised if the “normal” meth sub is commie, but knowing what chuds consider communist, it’s not surprising that they’d make an even more hard-line sub.

    I mean, I had (prescribed) adderall for a few months that had me borderline tweaky at my given dosage, but I still remained decidedly not right wing/fascist.

    I never thought about it but I had a friend many years back that went on a several months long crystal meth and heroin bender, fell into deep psychosis, was hospitalized, and got clean after a while. He remained much, much more conservative, right wing, and libertarian than he was before he went on the bender. Before he was basically a militant anarchist.

      Fetterman became conservative after his stroke, too.

  I’m on a forum for weed users and I’m surprised by how many right wingers are on it. Maybe I’m naive, but I would have thought most right-wingers are against drugs. I guess I tend to forget right-wingers are hypocrites.
