Did you read the essay @shiels (real name Quinn Slobodian) wrote about diagonalism?

Coronapolitics from the Reichstag to the Capitol - Boston Review
Defying conventional political labels and capitalizing on widespread distrust, a range of new movements share the conviction that all power is conspiracy.

On Querdenken’s ostensible “left wing” is KenFM, an Internet journalism portal founded by Ken Jebsen. Once an antiwar activist and public radio host, Jebsen was fired from his job for anti-Semitic comments. Ever since, KenFM has amassed a considerable following on YouTube, social media, and its crowdfunded website, thanks to the host’s lightning-speed interviews with an eclectic and provocative group of authors, scholars, and artists.
Given plausibility through a wave of account deletions by platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, Querdenken’s coronaskeptics have followed libertarian and far-right leaders to a growing number of alternative platforms.
With attention-grabbing titles like “Transnational Elite-Fascism,” “Down with the Digital Dictatorship,” and “COVID 19: A Trojan Horse, European 9/11?,” KenFM’s pseudo-intellectual style stitches together anti-elite discourse with the conservative controversy of the day, be it migration policies, corruption scandals, or coronavirus measures. With close-up videos that showcase Jebsen’s authoritarian flair, the program blurs Kapitalismuskritik and anarcho-capitalism, bringing together left-leaning critics like Rainer Mausfeld and Ullrich Mies with right libertarians like Markus Krall and Max Otte.
What unites such variants of “left” and “right” thinking is less their common goals than their shared enemies. From “mega-manipulation” to “mass censorship,” they all paint a dystopian picture of the conspiracy of power. Outside of KenFM many other diagonal partnerships have formed, such as the podcast “Multiculturalism Meets Nationalism” in which the Ghanaian-German “lifestyle entertainer” Nana Domena dialogues with the neo-Nazi Frank Kraemer. Oddities and nuances aside, the pandemic has allowed the diagonalist “resistance” to focus its critique on the spatial containment and physical restriction imposed by the government, often embodied by Chancellor Merkel (or “Merkill”) herself. Concepts like “freedom” and “democracy”—especially the freedom of assembly—become a battle cry against the “totalitarian” and “fascist” forces “up above” (in German, die da oben).

I've heard that name before, but I never know when to trust you regarding facts.
He's the one who hides the lit cig in his trouser cuff in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest too.
all up for quadruple dosing but my vision of psychedelia is more gargoils glaring at you from the curtains relentless 93 hard acid.

Tripping while invading D.C. Makes me think of the bit in Apocalypse Now when the dude is tripping while they're going up the river at night and come under fire from the VC.

i was referring to the state propagandising wellness - but it's very true to move to the assumption that something lies beyond that doing the same... funny as well...
it's definitely some higher order of instruction - no doubt about it.
this is Nietzsche's shtick in its very essence. disobey god. didn't end well for him
That's certainly one reading yes. Another is that Nietzsche was lamenting God being killed and in essence a crypto-theist (see transvaluation etc.)

Very difficult after doing psychedelics to not return to straight society with a glint in your eye and messianic air. A sense of "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe"
So in that sense it a sets up a hierarchy. An us and them. The elect and the paste
I struggle with this. Because it seems undeniable that you HAVE seen things that are important and potentially world changing and you have been initiated in to the great secret. But also, it's not much better than going on about yr gap year.
Doing drugs with humility - the eternal struggle

simply do not return to straight society. pursue radical sobriety at work, k-punk's only decent idea ever.

This is one of the things it feels like we're still not really allowed to say even though everyone knows it's true.

So does elitism just tend toward fascism then?

A mate of mine has the phrase "spacey bro"...to refer to the Joe Rogan types who could just as easily got into extreme sports or something but chose the psychedelic path.
Once you have the phrase you see them every where
That's the difference with psychedelics now and the olden days isn't it. It's no longer for the drop outs and marginal types. It's for the go getters wearing Oakley shades
