oof. I'm way behind you - I had no idea there was such a thing as a "pro-meth groups."
But wow - that's kind of interesting.
The internet is weird. I’m listening to a talk by nostr:npub1wslkwq0yrwvlff2n2sr7r4ct6gs480mfj7v0v8xqk0fde6a4krjq5g8r6f about his research of social media.
One surreal split was the woke / anti-woke fight in pro-meth subreddits.
There’s the main meth group with 181k members: https://www.reddit.com/r/meth/
Then there’s a group who didn’t like the woke politics of the main meth users group, so they created https://www.reddit.com/r/MethWithoutCommunism/ which has 28.5k members.
I had no idea that there would be a political split amongst pro-meth mutual aid groups online.
Discussion
Meth users come together as a community to talk about their shared interest just like everyone else. And it’s no surprise that there was a splinter. I do wonder how and why the socially progressive* faction held on to the main group while the conservative* meth users ended up the splinter.
*I’m trying to use as unloaded words as possible to avoid unproductive arguments.
