How Left/far-Left is Shroomery?

Wondering?
I'm centre. Except I don't think LSD and psilocybin should be illegal. I like classiness that comes from today's values, I generally don't take strong positions on anything. I dislike conformity and mob behaviour/psychology. I'd like to see how far the establishment can take us into the future, rather than changing much, at this stage.
Tell me about yourself and your social-political positioning.

The shroomery as a whole is definitely more leftish. Or, at least the most vocal, including mods/admins.
I think many people have differing opinions on what left right and canter are tho.

Far enough to buy you lunch, but not so far as to pay for your share of the tip

I'm centre.
Relative to what? Pretty sure that if you're center in a US context, you're extreme right in a Western European context, but probably comparable or slightly left in relation to Hungarians, Poles etc.
It's all so relative. Other than that, I can relate to what you say. I'm not pronouncedly progressive, nor very conservative. In terms of affinity, I lean towards the left more than to the right. At the same time, some liberal concepts I can see the merit of.

This site has more trump supporters than any other place i frequent on the internet. I was in this facebook group and they were all shocked discussing a news article about "Deadheads for Trump", not me I am on the shroomery that doesn't surprise me at all.
This site is mostly white Americans, of course there are tons of Trumpers. The pub may not be accurate representation of site as whole, I see no shortage of conservatives on politics board.
I hate both sides myself, I support some right wing ideas, like the Death Penalty, but also liberal ones like taxpayer funded, or "free" health care. I wouldn't be a fan boy for any leader though. Too many just follow what their side believes in, or worse they just want to disagree with the other side. The whole system is whack TBH I rarely vote (I live in Canada)

I avoid politics for the most part. I hate the mud slinging. Or how offended people get if you have a different opinion. I avoid it. But I do some advocacy work. So I do pay attention to certain lobbyists, laws, etc. I had to take a quiz to find out where I stand. I lean towards left wing. I also had to look up definitions of right and left. I think OTD leans right wing. And other areas are middle. You definitely hear people voice opinions that are in the middle, right, and left. I don't necessarily agree that moderators are left or right. I rarely have interaction with one, so I don't have a valid opinion on where moderators lie. I would think a good moderator would not allow their personal biases or political views to be expressed as a moderator, so they can make good decisions not based on bias. But on the rules of shroomery. I have never felt anything was unjust by a moderator. But, again, I have not real interaction with any of them to have a real opinion.

It is kind of fascinating that one can come to the conclusion of being open to drug use from both a left-social justice position, and a right-libertarian position.

And the discussion about reasons behind it. Some its medicinal, escapism, addiction, fun, spiritual I find it interesting and I learn a lot from others.

The shroomery has far left leanings, some outlier conservatives, but mainly center of the road folk, of which I am one.

As far as I can tell the majority of people on Shroomery have little time for the lunacies of bipartisan politics. Though sure, there's a very vocal minority.

I took this test and got these results. I think the main thing people on this site have in common is that they'd be on the lower half of that chart.
