Understandable!

I’m one to really try and let people know, if you don’t want to do it, don’t do it, and don’t let people force you to do it.

You’ll have a bad time doing something you don’t want to do.

That makes sense! People would stare. Folks stared a lot even in the 80’s (er I think? based on media really)

But folks def starred at my brother and friends.

I trust you on the music faux pas! Like, I def don’t know anything there. Hah!

Is it wild? To see something set in the past, but off?

I def don’t and I’m not saying silicon valley can’t partake.

What I’m really trying to get at is that a conversation about drugs includes more than the drug itself.

To say it’s because drugs and leave it at that leaves out a lot of info.

How we and the world do and react to an experience matters.

I’m from the south, and though from a big city, I very much can believe trends still took much longer to pitter out before the Internet.

Also, was the leather scene, despite still being active, mostly out of sight by that point?

The 90’s sometimes feels like a blind spot cuz I was a kid then.

Having not seen this movie…is the mohawk person an outsider?

My forgiveness can go to the style if it’s like… my brother wore liberty spikes and his friends had such tall hawks! (but not until he was a teen and in his 20’s, which is more 2000’s)

Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if otherwise, tho.

But to also add to the seriousness, people who think they’re all knowing are the most dangerous when it comes to drug use…

will harm themselves and others as they won’t listen to the warnings of the past and present.

Also, these are the type of folks who’ll join cults if not run one on their own.

Oh, if we wanna get serious, it’s not the drugs it’s who and why, and their reaction.

It’s funny in that where others might take a drug and become aware that there is more to life than they know,

these folks do the drug and think they’re having a unique experience.

As if the cliche isn’t true.

I didn’t know about “rat bloggers” till right now.

Is it like… it just seems like unchecked privileged folks full of assumptions rather than logic.

I will say it’s good to see TPUSA is carrying on Charlie Kirk’s legacy by being an irredeemable piece of garbage.

I'm not boasting or whatever, I just really don't keep up with it all.

Anyways.

Curate your communities.
Find people you trust.
Remove fascists.
Thrive.

LPT: People ranting about "snowflakes" while wearing an SS-like uniform are exactly what they sound like. They don't need benefit of the doubt.

This is what anti-authoritarian leaders can do that despotic counterparts can't, b/c it respects people as your peers and that's the core difference. Not a mass of hopeless idiots to be contemptuously manipulated. Self-governing people who can be persuaded, make rational decisions, and have agency.

"Republicans won't vote for it." "But the Supreme Court..." etc. etc.

These things aren't savvy realism. They're nihilistic defeatism, indistinguishable in substance and effect from outright support for Trumpism. Human institutions are not immutable facts of nature. We make and we can remake them.
