People laughed when leftists talked about the yoga studio to fascism pipeline…

In all seriousness this is utterly fucked.

Naomi Klein talks about this in Doppelgänger, and it’s really interesting. She argues, compellingly, that the yoga/spirituality/wellness types were never so much truly left-wing as they were counter to the medical establishment. Which wasn’t inherently harmful - yoga and meditation are good, and modern medicine doesn’t solve every problem. But then COVID came along, and it stripped away all the control these people felt they had over their health. And then it became revealed that they were never so much far-left as they were far out.

The herbal remedies / yoga / crystal gems people were always selling snake oil. No surprise that they'd get along with Trump. (Which is not to say all herbal remedies are worthless, but many are, and if you don't believe me, have fun getting scammed. And yoga can do a lot for your fitness, yes yes, we agree.)

My mom died last year because she thought she could treat her cancer by "resonating with the world's vibration." Fuck this woman, and fuck the people who decided to put her in charge of healthcare.

Well if only they could stop polluting the world so we can get some of that clean living.

The lockdowns and subsequent vaccine drama turned a huge amount of previously assumed "liberal" new-age dumbasses into full-throated right-wing dumbasses. It was surprising to watch at first, but it makes sense when you think about it.

Is it because there's a whole ton of people who are simply selfish?

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No?

It's basically just anti-academic.

If you can just invent arcane knowledge that only you know then you're smarter than everyone and can do anything you like.

[–] Devmapall@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

That makes more sense than what I was thinking before

Basically the whole contingent is anti-authority, and con's were able to capitalize on that by feeding the pushback against vaccines and masks.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I believe you, but I don’t understand how. mRNA vaccines are basically magic.

I’ll let my transplant team know it wasn’t new lungs I needed, and three people’s worth of blood and six months in ICU and three weeks on ECMO, it was just light I was lacking… silly me!

This isnt surprising at all to me. There is a woman in my city who is a massive MAGA chud that runs a New Age store and claims she's a medium and clairvoyant. She thinks she's a pillar of the community but even her own kids say she's full of shit.

This is pure comedy. Let's point and laugh at them until they go away

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

Conservatism doesn't mean right-wing. It's reality as a team sport.

Reasoned argument is a learned behavior. This nonsense is humanity's default.

They think that's all you're doing, because they think that's all there is.

[–] _core@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Sounds pretty woke to me

If Carl Sagan was still with us today he'd lose his shit, for real

I'm fine with this if it means that psychedelics will finally be legalized for therapeutic use. I'd be absolutely thrilled to go into a therapy session where both me and the therapist are tripping balls.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nevermind all the people that will be left to die because of this dumbass' policies. You (might) get to take shrooms!

I take shrooms anyway lol

[–] _____@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

no dude, psychedelics ummm..LOWER your vibration. You see, that feeling of heightened awareness/euphoria is a negative force pushing you to use more psychedelics. MY personal favourite way to raise your vibration is with Joe Rogan's waveforce supplements! I take em every day!
