      ab: The article looks at how the Internet can be imagined as a kind of psychedelic technology – in the sense of 'manifesting' new realities – through the lens of different ideas associated with Deleuze and Guattari. It considers a darker strain of their ideas and their reception, initially looking back to discussions from earlier cybertheory before taking as its case study the production of 'microfascist' subjectivities on the notorious website 4chan – arguably the point of origin of both the 'alt-right' and 'QAnon'. To unpack this case study, the article develops the idea of 'weird mediation' (in dialogue with Gilbert Simondon), as well as considering some 'shamanic' aspects from Deleuze and Guattari's thought (in dialogue with Carlos Castenada), which together offer insights and warnings about the power of mind manifesting technologies.
