He’s not wrong about pharmacology either. Benzodiazepines are routinely one of the most prescribed medications in the USA and getting an Opioid prescription isn’t too hard if you’re in your 30s+.

i have no idea and it doesn't really matter
principles matter, not associations or self-imposed views on identity

Nobody who questioned Q was ever banned. Stop lying, Granny Boomer.

As it should be. The entire Q thread should be wiped.

Not many know this, but Orwell was a socialist.

Indeed. I’ve been saying this for a while now.
Social media is the worst addiction the world faces.
Get off of it.

I think HUxley actually looked forward to the drugged society. He hung out with Timothy Leary and spoke of it as if it was a good thing.
Orwell's total surveillance state is also very real though, as is the treatment of history and basic knowledge.

Maybe...as long as frickerberg's Thought Police allow it to be discussed.
Posted on 1/9/21 at 4:44 pm to SlowFlowPro
No it’s not. I’m convinced most people spouting this haven’t even read 1984
