How Left/far-Left is Shroomery?
    #28575032 - 12/08/23 09:37 PM (1 month, 19 days ago)

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.

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.

I wonder if 80% of Shroomery posts are written by 20% of the active Shroomery members.

Or maybe it's more like 95% and 5%?

When you use a desktop computer to go to this site.
It’s almost alarming how many people look at some threads. When nobody ever contributes.
It’s almost like you and four people are having a conversation. But there are 50 people watching you talk.

I'm guilty, at times, of writing a post knowing the other four people will totally disagree with me, but maybe (just maybe) a couple of the 50 observers might appreciate it!

I'm deep in the left libertarian as well according to the test. I kinda doubt some of the questions though, pretty bonkers. I'm not sure if I'd rated astrology highly which way that moves or why.

Economic Left/Right: -5.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.1

Astrology is right about a lot of things but so is tarot. it doesnt mean that because of that, the planets rule our lives.

They have a story, leading to an oracling system and like any proper oracling system it works a lot of the time. That doesnt mean the story has any validity any more than you are a fool on the path to become the world.

I don't like tests like the Political Compass, or others like it such as the Meyer's Briggs tests.

They pretty much lose their value entirely when the test taker knows the purpose of the questions - there's a recursive impulse to answer in a way that produces a result which reflects the way you want to identify with. Even if the majority of people feel they are answering each question according to their actual convictions, the skewed results from people answering in a way that they want to fit into is enough to make actual comparisons mostly useless. Doubly so when the placement isn't based on the entire dataset available, but off a very old one that is not reflective of people who've been exposed to the test for their entire adult life.

I remember taking both the Political Compass tests and Meyers Briggs tests in high school as part of different courses. Early exposure to them, and pretty much nothing changing on them since, makes any subsequent test you take corrupted.

Not to mention the questions are pretty blatant.

"If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."

Anyone who answers that globalization should serve the interests of trans-national corporations over humanity is either a trans-national corporation or is purposefully attempting to get a more conservative score despite the ridiculousness of the premise.

Yeah, I feel like the questions were too cut and dry. I answered questions in relevance to today and still had a hard time. Most of them were, as you said, questions that most anybody would agree on.

There's another far more comprehensive and modern test at https://10groups.github.io

Apparently I'm a EuroCommunist.



Pile of other metrics are measured on the results page too.

Your result on the Myers Briggs test is a 4 letter code like that, supposedly summarizing your personality.

Very unsurprisingly my results are almost identical to yours. I consider myself a social democrat. I vastly prefer this test over the political compass one, more axis is always better.

I was hoping someone would say my personality type is FU-RJ

But seriously, I'm ignorant of some of the chart terms.

I looked into what is meant by a social democracy, which is part of the framework of France, Sweden and the UK

Democratic socialism is a left-wing political philosophy that supports political democracy and some form of a socially owned economy, with a particular emphasis on economic democracy, workplace democracy, and workers' self-management within a market socialist economy or an alternative form of a decentralized planned socialist economy

Democratic socialism can be characterized as follows: Much property held by the public through a democratically elected government, including most major industries, utilities, and transportation systems. A limit on the accumulation of private property. Governmental regulation of the economy.


So I guess that's why social democracy falls on the border of authoritarian?

It's kind of big government but it's elected?

I prefer the Rhineland model, which is the particular flavour of social democracy in Germany, Austria and The Netherlands. It differentiates a bit in that it rejects traditional socialist ideas of social ownership and economic planning, in stead focusing more on offering equal opportunities for all to emancipate and offers a welfare state model for those who can't.

I'm a homosexual gun owner. Anti-prohibition and conservatively minded fiscally. How can I be considered a direction? Yay for guns, drugs, faggotry and, more than anything else, freedom! Boo to voting! Support individuality and common sense, not pigeon-holes that bind one to selectively opposing either.

eve69, a couple things:

2. It seems Adam was jealous of Eve for giving her attention to the snake in the tree rather than Adam's snake in his pants.  He should have painted his balls to look like apples, amiright?

In my experience the Shroomery seems to be very right wing.

Or at least the right wing trolls are allowed to run amuck without any sort of consequence.

To the Singularity now!

We must suspend patent law in service of free innovation, you must be able to download, recombine, repurpose anything, we must use the best science has to offer, including GM, to make the most of it for all of us.

Either we become a Type 1 Civilisation or our great-grandchildren will pull roots from the barren soil with their radiation-burnt fingers.

Let each of us do their part for all of us.

If you see people breaking the rules hit the toot button. It's unrealistic to expect mods to be everywhere all the time.

If people are saying things that upset you, but are within the rules, check yourself. It's unrealistic to expect people to agree with you all the time or for anyone else to enforce others to do so.

conservatives are just the most vocal.  the platform is effectively based on hating other working-class people so its easy to sit in a truck and summarize your whole political stance in 100 words or less.

thoughtful ideology isnt so easily expressed and theres a recurring theme of social media not being the best venue to express opinions so you wont often hear a mouthful from members like myself or B traven for example.  we're here though..

I think the more extreme of any side are more vocal, hence the extreme. When we have extreme people posting it always feels a bit :facepalm:, but that's their prerogative. The truth is quiet.

And that's the thing with right-wing trolls. Always instigating. Then they take it too far, get dunked on, and quiet down for a little bit.. but i'm glad they're around, it would be boring without them.

US politics are obviously very different from EU politics, but we got our fair share of populists shouting hateful ideology based in untruths that appeal to the lowest commen denominator as well. Every year we are losing more and more rights that we fought hard for the previous decades. If I see someone regurgitating bullshit like that I will always e quick to call it out.

US politics are obviously very different from EU politics, but we got our fair share of populists shouting hateful ideology based in untruths that appeal to the lowest commen denominator as well. Every year we are losing more and more rights that we fought hard for the previous decades. If I see someone regurgitating bullshit like that I will always e quick to call it out.




Many in Britain seem to think our government is conservative, or right wing, because that's what the conservatives are on paper. But they ain't conserving anything!
My own sister "Jenifer" (who works for the council) would be fired from her job if she refused to specify her own sex/pronouns!
Like her name "Jenifer" (or the fact she is clearly a woman) isn't enough of a clue!
This utter madness has all happened on the watch of a 'right wing/conservative' government, that has made only token efforts to oppose the insanity! 

The opinion I am expressing here may be 'far right' or 'hateful' today but was simple common sense (or rather sanity) when I was growing up!

In Britain coming up, we learned only really of Nazism and the dangers posed by the far right.

Far leftism/communism/Marxism however was always more vague and unexplained!

How far-left is the Shroomery?

Head off over to politics and find out!

Not sure why this comment was directed at me or actually what you are trying to say specifically. I do not really identify with the modern progressivist movement. It seems to me they have lost track of the most important issues in society and don't really know of the struggle of the working man. It also seems to me forcing people to participate in well, anything, is never a productive way to cooperate. Let us not lose track of who is actually opressing us, the ones that hold the most amount of capital. The large cooperations that have let your salary track behind inflation for decades while the shareholders take all the excess productivity for themselves and the landlord which have raised rents to such levels that people can no longer afford groceries. Those are real issues.

In the US, its either the party of being a dick and trampling on everyone's rights or you're a labeled lefty/socialist. Or what really makes my eye twitch, is when for not believing in such horseshit as an 800 billion dollar defense budget, you're called a "liberal", despite the fact that the progressive liberals now in office actually increased defense spending from the 770 something billion to the 800 it is now. We have two a two party system: You vote for the actual fascists or vote for the fascists who pretend to support minorities. 

Leftism/Socialism has come to mean anything but untethered corporatism and unwavering support of the military industrial complex. (support the troops!) Of course, we have a contingent of tankies who would probably be dead in a ditch under actual authoritarian communism, but theres very little room between these two extremes for free thinking so most of us just keep our heads down and stay quiet or do actual behind the scenes activism. Screaming into the void loses its charm after about the fifth bullshit presidential election and arguing with other working class people serves only the purpose of maintaining the status quo, which is ultimately the greatest bipartisan effort of the last 100 years of American politics.

It's always boggled my mind that there's only two parties to vote for in the US. We have 10+ that are viable and cover the entire spectrum. It stands to reason that with two parties any issue will become polarised.

What truly amazes me is how people still act like politics even matter anymore and dont just serve as a further way to divide us and keep us focused on each other but I guess if playing political twister makes yall feel important then to each their own :shrug:

I'm pretty sure it was the episode where he committed tax fraud and ran away to Alaska to live in the wilderness for 7 months and lived off of squirrels. It is where he discovered how to paint due to the agonizing loneliness he experienced while isolated from society. Now he takes care or squirrels as a way to pay his karma back to all the squirrels he had to kill to eat.

It's all in his book.

Here is the summary from Wikipedia:




In a world of happy little trees and serene landscapes, Bob Ross found himself entangled in a financial thicket. Accused of tax fraud, he made the bold decision to escape to the untouched wilderness of Alaska. For seven months, he lived off the grid, surrounded by nature's beauty and a chorus of chirping squirrels.

Bob, armed with his trusty paintbrushes and a mantra to justify his survival, would mutter, "Normally they say you can't go wrong with right, but not this time." It became his mantra, a reminder that sometimes one must embrace the unconventional to find their way.

Loneliness settled in like an uninvited guest, and as the squirrels frolicked in the vast Alaskan wilderness, Bob had to confront the harsh reality of survival. Each stroke of his brush on the canvas mirrored the struggles he faced – a reflection of both the external world and his internal turmoil.

As the days turned into weeks, Bob's connection with nature deepened. The squirrels, once his playful companions, became his source of sustenance. The internal conflict was palpable, yet he found solace in the notion that he was a part of the circle of life. "Normally they say you can't go wrong with right, but not this time," he would repeat, a mantra that echoed through the vast, silent landscape.

In the solitude of Alaska, Bob discovered more than just a means of survival. He found himself in the stillness of the wilderness, in the dance of colors on his canvas, and in the resilience of nature. The loneliness that initially weighed heavy on his heart transformed into inspiration.

With every stroke, he painted the essence of his journey – the struggle, the solitude, and the acceptance of the unconventional path he had chosen. Bob's Alaskan odyssey became a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a story told on canvas that transcended the boundaries of time and space.

As the seven months came to an end, Bob emerged from the wilderness, not just as a painter but as a man who had faced the shadows within himself. The accusations of tax fraud were but distant echoes in the vastness of the Alaskan landscape. And though he had survived on the squirrels of the wild, he left with a renewed sense of connection to the world and a palette of colors that told a story of self-discovery and redemption.

I guess this is all he said about it in an interview


"In an interview about his unconventional dining experience, Bob calmly remarked, "You know, these little critters may not be on my palette, but in the wild, they bring their own flavor to the canvas of survival. It's all about embracing the happy little accidents nature throws your way." With a twinkle in his eye, he added, "Happy little squirrels, doing their part in the grand masterpiece of life."

conservatives are just the most vocal.  the platform is effectively based on hating other working-class people so its easy to sit in a truck and summarize your whole political stance in 100 words or less.

thoughtful ideology isnt so easily expressed and theres a recurring theme of social media not being the best venue to express opinions so you wont often hear a mouthful from members like myself or B traven for example.  we're here though..




US politics are obviously very different from EU politics, but we got our fair share of populists shouting hateful ideology based in untruths that appeal to the lowest commen denominator as well. Every year we are losing more and more rights that we fought hard for the previous decades. If I see someone regurgitating bullshit like that I will always e quick to call it out.




Many in Britain seem to think our government is conservative, or right wing, because that's what the conservatives are on paper. But they ain't conserving anything!
My own sister "Jenifer" (who works for the council) would be fired from her job if she refused to specify her own sex/pronouns!
Like her name "Jenifer" (or the fact she is clearly a woman) isn't enough of a clue!
This utter madness has all happened on the watch of a 'right wing/conservative' government, that has made only token efforts to oppose the insanity! 

The opinion I am expressing here may be 'far right' or 'hateful' today but was simple common sense (or rather sanity) when I was growing up!

In Britain coming up, we learned only really of Nazism and the dangers posed by the far right.

Far leftism/communism/Marxism however was always more vague and unexplained!

How far-left is the Shroomery?

Head off over to politics and find out!




I just never even cared about that stuff cause it's overshadowed by caring about shit that actually matters

I stumbled upon a Bob Ross livestream on youtube recently and it just showed his episodes... it was super nice.  Really calmed me down and made me appreciate the sound of the brush on the canvas. 
It reminded me of when I used to go to speech therapy in school and there was this one woman who I talked to and she always ended our meetings with her writing down stuff with pen on paper... and IDK what kind of pen she used, but it was soooo relaxing to hear her write... almost like euphoric.

As it should be. I feel like every thread should end with talking about Bob Ross being our universally agreed upon father.

False. The average was thrown off because most died in childbirth or soon after. But a few lucky people lived to 350+

Shroomery is secretly an antifa training ground for the cia lizards.  Its basically mkultra all over again.

Anyone who disagrees is committing a thought crime lol

I think politics is all a hoax and people should rise up and come up with a plan to stop our problems without sucking govt boots.  Police are useless and need to be dealt with.  Why we arent "allowed" to defend ourselves from mobsters anymore is just part of a proxy attack so I hate both sides.  Vote with your fists guns and knives and molitav cocktails.  Im not saying dont vote either.  I just wish more people would put their money where their mouth is, instead of playing twitter all day.

Ptm, mk ultra was an actual cia program using lysergimide based drugs and hypnosis in an effort to control minds. 

If you want to watch a movie that will leave a bitter taste in your mouth for weeks, trip out on "Jacobs Ladder".

The cia is the most powerful and well organized terrorist organization on earth.

I've been following this thread from self-ban-land, but now I don't remember half the shit I was going to say. I took both tests and decided they don't understand how to assess the political alignment of far-left green anarchists.

Thinking about trying to determine the general political bent of the Shroomery just reminds me of the posts we see in mush cult where someone says "I dunno, I see A LOT of people saying that [insert debunked and outdated techniques here] is the way to go." It's like Beef said, the more black-and-white edgelord statements are always the easiest to make and most plentiful on social media. We never know how many people are watching from the wings, or exactly what they're thinking.

fuck n a B.  When i start to do a rough calculation on the taxes ive paid since i was 15 years old working landscape jobs with a fucking work permit, i think to myself "where did it go"

establishment pundits will always say "well you use our infrastructure dont you?" but brother im not even talking about levee taxes.  so when someone tried to murder me with a big knife and i couldnt work for almost two years, i tried to ask for a little help.  wasnt even saying "take care of me forever" just needed a little help for the 2 years i physically couldnt work. 

after being denied and then contesting the decision, i went through an inquisition and hearing process where they told me with an identical letter "nope.  go fuck yourself"

meanwhile, 80% of our congress owns shares of weapons manufacturers and defense contractors.  so yeah, i get fucking fired up when i see liberals with "support ukraine" and "i stand with israel" signs and stickers.  conservatives  with "support the troops" stickers. 

they actually do owe me a fucking living.  half my friends died in iraq and afghanistan and the ones who came home still have TB and ptsd. but no, send all our money to raytheon and lockheed martin. im sure generating value for shareholders somehow helps me and my friends...

so yeah, i fucking hate those political alignment tests.  they were clearly developed by liberal academic sheeple.

I think the efforts to scare kids into just saying no to drugs and DARE and all that was because of a manipulative plan just like mkultra but to create a chaotic mobscene.  The more corny the black and white propaganda video middle school kids watch about cool feel good powders the more fail they are, when ya want to be with the cool group instead of the dorks in the PSA and now its had some ugly side effects.  I hope one day they just stfu up about it all and let us all live our lives with this issue

Naww our government would never do something like that seems to me like mkultra would be the name for a good Lazer tag center at most. Yall need to calm down our government loves us and wants the best for each and every one of us and would never sacrifice peoples mental health or physical health for experimentation that's absurd
