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

Lemmy will never truly be mainstream until we can have active communities this granular
As easy as it is to block & defederate, I doubt most lemmy users would see this stuff even it it existed here.
You can never have a meth community here.
Tell that to a meth head, watch em set up their own instance
We tried. The lefties here hate harm reduction and don't want to be anywhere near anyone talking about it.
Lefties on lemmy.ca cannot prevent you from making your own instance
there's a joke i'm struggling to find that ends with "the intolerant meth"
Jokes aside, you'll find several instances of "normal community" having a "right wing normal community" spin off, it happened in online chat channels, then in forums, now Reddit.
The right's ideology is fundamentally unfit for harmonic co-existing with everybody else, so it's no surprise they always need to isolate themselves in a bunker.
It turns out, when you kick people out of a community for being toxic, racist, or otherwise counterproductive to maintaining a community... they go form a right wing spinoff of that community. I feel like it says a lot that when you kick people out for traits that aren't "being right wing", they form communities around that shared identity.

Then one of them inevitably opens up a place like this, looking more or less like this....
Also they did it to punk, emo, goth and metal subcultures through subcultural parasitism.
I think if you're a little less self-congratulatory you'll realise it's often just the same process where everyone thinks the folks on lemmy.ml are a bunch of nutters and congregate to other places.
You might be right about what happened here, but it might also be a load of people who call everything to the right of Bernie Sanders Nazism and were sick of it. Forming spin-off communities is what the fediverse is all about, so why would we criticise those guys for doing it?
I do think the subdivision and compartmentalisation of discourse is a problem, but we sure ain't solving it here in the fediverse lol
They can do whatever they want. I never said they shouldn't create spin-off communities.
I'm well within my right to point, laugh, and recognize the right is so atrocious at harmoniously dealing with differences that they keep creating their bunkers. Simple as that. Go ahead and create whatever community you want, with whatever justification you see fit.
Music To Meth To <3
There really is a theme to meth use over the years, isn't there.
Gonna start calling it fascidust
well i mean, the actual nazis used it quite a bit…
I think that's what they were getting at
Didn't the nazis not only use it, but also invent it?
no, that was a japanese chemist
You got his number?
yeah it’s 867-5309
He moved his office to Germany. The number is 99-999-9999

I mean, how else are you going to try and march across the damn Soviet Union? That place was fucking ginormous.
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.
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.
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.
I was wondering who was still on reddit
MAGA Tweakers? A lot of things are starting to make total sense. The Nazis were really into it, too.
It's even more perfect that the Nazis called it Pervitin, making it the perfect drug of choice for PedoCons.
Cheer up tweakers, only one more sleep till Christmas.
meth and cocaine,heroin, the hard drugs has been the right wingers choice of drugs .
It is unfortunate that a great part of the internet enshittified so intensely and rapidly. Spez appears to be a bad person, it is also unfortunate that so many people refuse to migrate to better platforms. Let's not make our whole identities being mad about it.
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.
“Amphetamines are inherently fascist”???
What does that even mean?
When you use them they put you in a fascist mental state.
Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine combination is used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy (uncontrollable desire for sleep or sudden attacks of deep sleep). These two medicines belong to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) stimulants.
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 never went back to "normal" and remained much, much more conservative, right wing, and libertarian than he was before he went on the bender. Before that he was basically a militant anarchist.
Fetterman became conservative after his stroke, too.
I think it may be possible to damage the brain in a way that makes empathy harder.
I've never known a meth user who was also a leftist.
People on the left tend to use classier drugs, in my experience.
Edit: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I offend some meth heads?
