I found the soultion

https://www.insider.com/white-supremacist-took-mdma-renounces-beliefs-study-2023-6

Actual article.

However, MDMA doesn't have a political agenda and can't, by itself, solve racism. The authors of one journal article from 2021 argued that psychedelics could just amplify what is going on in that person's head.

MDMA has, for instance, been used by the Taliban to channel connection to the divine during prayer chants, according to Nuwer.

Nuwer pointed out that Brendan's "seemingly spontaneous change" appears to be an exception to the norm. MDMA releases the chemical oxytocin, which our bodies naturally produce. The chemical causes animals to fiercely love their own, but also protect them from others — which can mean a disdain for outsiders may actually increase.

Why is it when people say “don’t get political.” They really mean “don’t support things I don’t support.”

I’m hoping this don’t count as a spoiler but I’ll be safe and put it in a tag even tho it’s something after Collusion

Punk cut a promo about supporting LGBTQ+ youth. Some idiot is like you get political you go broke. But I am willing to bet, if Punk said something negative about LGBTQ+ youth, dude wouldn’t have an issue, probably would praise him, and say YEAH! Go Punk! Because the issue isn’t that he talked about a political issue (tho really being a decent fucking human should not be seen as political.) it’s that he talked about something that he didn’t like, something he doesn’t support. It’s ridiculous.

What if they are using hollow words and using the issue as a way to gain favour? One could say that is being political......and the funny thing is, it's just that easy to use political opinions/correctness to skewer the narrative.

Also....the whole "don't support things I don't support" isn't exclusive.....it's the one thing both sides of this entirely stupid political tribalism have in common.

Hey you won’t get no fight out of me on the bottom part, I will say the only difference being, one side supports everyone having the same rights, being treated the same, and the other side thinks they are certain individuals who shouldn’t have the same rights as others. Now if you support taking rights away from others, then yeah, you’re a pretty fucking horrible person. Because someone else having the same rights as you do, doesn’t change your life in any single way. At all. If Bill and Jake wanna get married, let them, if Sally and Lisa wanna get married let them, if Bobby wants to become Bobbi, let them. Because guess what? It doesn’t change your life at all. Now if you take those rights away from someone, guess what? You just changed their life, because they can’t be happy and live their life. See the difference between the two?

Now 100% agree when it comes to something that doesn’t effect your life, but would causes someone else’s life to change, yeah, sometimes the left can do that with certain issues, 100%, and you won’t get me saying other wise. My basic beliefs are this, as long as what you’re doing, isn’t causing someone else harm, or taking away someone else’s freedoms and rights, I don’t give a fuck what you do. It’s why I support the LGBTQ, it’s why I support gun rights(for responsible gun owners) it’s why I support people having the right to practice whatever religion they want, it’s why I think prostitution should be legal and regulated. It’s why I support people being able to drink, smoke, do whatever you want, as long as you are not harming another human being.

Banning books is dumb as fuck also
Not to mention it's coming from people who cry about "wokeism" is at war with "free speech". 8D

"Don't say gay......but let me say the N word".
