IIRC one of the more prominent alt-right figures did a lot of drugs and credits them in part for "getting woke". I'm not afraid of advocating people taking psychedelics and seeing through the bullshit of the mundane, but the crap that so many folks latch onto afterwards is very :smith:, there's a prevalent theme of contrarianism in the psychedelic scene. There's a lot of trippers who are balls deep into all the cliche conspiracies and I'm pretty sure that demographic constitutes a fair percentage of the sincere flat earthers. As with schizophrenia it's hard to tell if psychedelics are directly responsible for symptoms or if they just aggravate an underlying condition.

And to quote one of the guys doing the rounds as an "entheogen advocate" in Australia, in response to criticism on reddit:

they are people who know that our current society is very very screwed up, but don't have any theoretical framework to deal with the realization so they pile up a bunch of nonsensical crap until they have what they perceive as a complete worldview
