    There’s been an undercurrent of this among TERF forums. In many ways, they’re leftover second wave feminists who didn’t get on board with the intersectionality that’s central to third wave feminism. They tend to drag other things from 1960s/70s feminism along with them, like prattling on about the Earth Mother and healing crystals.

    One of the criticisms the third wave had of the second is that the sex negativity tended to align them with far right religious conservatives on many issues. That’s a good indication that something went wrong. Maybe it’s no surprise they ended up in MAGA.

    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.

      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!

    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.

      Same thing here. Grandmother and uncle (early 40s) Blake, you died nearly two years ago now. The herbs and vitamin C were never going to save you. Cindy, not even a year yet. I can feel nothing but sadness and sorrow for the way they were decieved.

      certain demographics are very into the cult of homeopathy and naturopathy, and pseudoscience. its usually woman in thier mid 40s, and midwesterners. Chronic lyme is one, i once ventured into communities across various site. they all have undiagnosed mental illnesses, delusional parasitosis(they deny they have it).

      they were taking supplements and antibiotics to the point of causing serious symptoms unrelated to the actual infection.

    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.

        Yeah, there’s a big difference between “this herb has some naturally occurring anti-inflammatory compounds” and “this berry is a cure for cancer and lupus and the common cold.”

        Regarding yoga, stretching and bodyweight exercises are definitely a good part of fitness, but the mystical side of it is complete horseshit.

          I remember seeing a doTERRA ad some hon had put up at a Mexican restaurant. In English it said normal stuff about how aromatherapy helps with mood, maybe a vaguely defined “energy levels” but no legally defined health claims. En español it was literally claiming that the doTERRA oils could cure cancer!

      Brown Esotericism was always a thing in Germany, there’s a german wikipedia page about it, psiram wiki has a chapter about “National Socialism and extremist right groups today” on their page about Esotericism.

      This has been going on since the Third Reich and is one of the pipelines to bring economically better off people into right wing rethoric and thought patterns.

      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 current yoga is a white womans assumption that they can connect witht he universe, its basically co-opted from the religion from india, which is a different thing and turned into a huge industry for targeting mostly woman of a certain demographic.

    I fiirmly believe that people are doing badly and suffering because they don’t listen to themselves and their body.

    If MAGA starts accepting its own body, they will get waay more powerful.

    “Well Mr. Doe, I’m afraid it’s bad news. We found a mass in your chest, it looks like pancreatic cancer.”

    “Oh no, so what will we do about that? Will I get radiation, or chemo?”

    “I’ll be prescribing you a set of positively charged aura crystals, just spend some time near them every day, and let them charge under moonlight at night. I’ve also scheduled you a time with our resident chiropractor, he’ll try to realign your chakras. Until then you could also try to stay away from Virgos.”
