LA leftist groups being full of lovely men is unfortunately a recurring problem.

FMguru posted:IIRC, spent a lot of time creeping on/grooming young enthusiastic DSA members (which did not go over particularly well with Lana's spouse). Is just like, everyone in DSA doing that? How does that work? Grand Prize Winner posted:Wife emailer 2.0 if I remember right. I need to upgrade from Wife Emailer 1.5, hoping the new version has some quality of life improvements.

Some people will call SF's inclusion of mutual grooming sessions in our monthly Intro to DSA meetings "creepy" "unsanitary," or even "terrifyingly atavistic," but I found mine very relaxing and effective at reducing my parasite load. How can we claim to be in favor of mutual aid if we refuse to support one of the oldest and most natural forms of it? I'd love to hear what the anti-groomers itt do to build solidarity in their chapters. E: Oh, wait, grooming! Wow, nvm, obviously those people are not welcome in our organizations or groom-groups. Maybe we should use another name for those. Doc Hawkins fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Apr 10, 2019 |

The thing to remember about the DSA is that it's a bunch of young people who think that they have strong moral principles and many will find that, like Boomer Hippies did 50 years ago, when honestly put to the test they don't.

Leftist groups in LA have had a huge problem with sexual predators but also just plain sexism, guys talking over women, not respecting them, etc. Which is one reason why I try to call out sexism as hard as possible in person and on message boards. Leftist men are terrible at self-examination on sexism. Myself included, I'm sure.

We all grew up in a society that guided our brains to develop certain habits we don't even notice. Like the roots of a mighty but diseased tree, we must excavate and poison them so they wither and die. That's why I routinely pour Round Up in my ears, because the bigotry circuits are located near the temples.

The biggest problem I've found over the decades is that 99% of people don't apply their moral principles to people they like. So you know, they hate sexists in the abstract, and they'll pillory somebody they don't know for bad behavior, but when it's your buddy....ah....well....surely it can't be that bad can it? There's also the simple fact that bigotry is fun and it's hard to get people to stop being bigots.

In their present state they are going to accomplish nothing, so nobody is going to arrest/murder them.

The thing to realize about white Boomers is that their biggest problem was their parents throwing them into a war and telling them it'll build character, but otherwise they had a lot of poo poo set up for them. Outside the war, and especially with regards to California and LA specifically, being white in the 1950s was a pretty good time. Car culture happened because being white basically ensured you were well off enough as a family for your teens (even if you have a lot of them) to have their own cars.

Yep, friend’s dad grew up working class and he had a series of mustangs and eventually corvettes he would ride around on the main drag just to pass the time (similar to American Graffiti).

My dad grew up poor (on food stamps) and still built T-bucket kit cars, had a car that he built up really nice and sold it to put a down payment on his first house at 21. Imagine doing that today. Selling a car and getting enough money for it to make a down payment on a house.

My dad ran a parking garage, literally parked cars for a living, and he was able to purchase a home in the early 1960's for $33k or so ... that was huge in a highly desirable area. He could afford to send three children to fancy schools (Ivy for me) as well (with minimal loans) and sent us to summer camp and took decent vacations every year.
