Are you seriously trying to start poo poo, in another thread, on account of a 12 member trotskyist group? That's 1. creepy as hell and 2. A very poor use of your time.

There was a small Twitter fad of lefty women saying they'd only date socialists who were actively engaged in political action, and we were smoking outside a meeting and all the women were agreeing with it and my thought was: Shouldn't we discourage that as much as possible? Isn't this just a drama magnet? You don't want a bunch of creeps looking for dates showing up to these meetings, right?

if there's like 12 people it should take roughly a half hour for you all to learn enough about china and cuba to reverse your position, though I doubt you're keen on that if you're following the traditional trotskyite wrecker approach to politics

Tell us about your org and please don't take SHMM's bad manners to heart. Also, how do you feel about the PRC as an individual?

Yes. Just not liberal democratically.

While it's a shame that it funnels some money towards meaningless stuff, I figure that it's good to have a hobby, and DSA is a good hobby for some people.

I view it similarly to "a college club, for adults." Just a college club that some people think Really Matters for some reason.

It serves as a pressure release valve that allows people to think they are doing the right thing, salving their justifiably guilty westoid conscience.

the national Socialist Rifle Association is a dumpster fire but locals may be good, the one I was in for a while was very ML oriented and if you said dumb liberal poo poo about China or wherever the response would be let's get you educated so you stop saying dumb liberal poo poo.

When I joined back in 2016 DSA was mostly normal people. But the remarkable thing is with "success," DSA eventually became pretty much the stereotype that everyone outside of it had.
Lot's of people trying to become the next chapo (in a chapter where the biggest event we had had like 40 people, I know of at least 4 different podcasts that got started). Lot's of people trying to become the next aoc. Lot's of people there for dating. Lot's of people who wanted to make sure you knew they are poly.

At its pre-pandemic peak there was certainly a major contingent of creepy guys who legitimately thought "it's ok, im just being sex positive" was a good excuse for hitting on every woman in the org.

One of the people I'd hang out with at DSA events was this woman who worked as a stripper. The only reason I learned she was a stripper was because I was having a conversation with her and some other guy recognized her, proceeded to identify the club she worked at, and started to ask questions about her schedule to go there and see her.

isn't that what swp stands for?
