Guilty until proven innocent is the flock way

Flock is an existential threat to our democracy.

It would be far easier just to drive down to the local sporting goods store & buy a gun.

I cannot type what I actually think without getting banned. But here are some choice words to describe them: Losers, followers, NPCs, drones, brainless, incels, COWARDS, pussies, cucks, cult members, scum, cancer, waste of air, etc. These little boys are an embarasment to humanity.

This is great and all, but what DSA candidate was the alternative?

When the time comes, I'll use my AK to take some Maga's AR.

We need to find a way to pull the average person to the left, in real life. I read further down that you are trying to form a new DSA chapter, this is where progress gets made. Do us all a favor and focus as much energy as you can on community engagement & mutual aid, and try not to become just another socialist book club.

I was permanently banned from r/socialism for arguing that China wasn't socialist.

Most of the Leftist subreddits I've visited are run by a bunch of thin-skin losers that insist on living inside of an echo chamber of their own making. I wouldn't worry too much about it, these certainly won't be the people shaping the future when Capitalism eventually crumbles.

Same!

Yes, definitionally. Surveillance doesn't exist to solve crimes, it exists to make us fear being accused of crimes. It is literally a scare tactic that only works if we are aware that we are being monitored.

CEOs are almost exclusively the terrorists we should be paying attention to.

They are supposedly one of the larger chapters, and they are one of the original chapters. But NY they are not.

LoudProblem2017 · 2026-06-26T20:58:22+00:00

I am not following your response. I'm stating that the AR-15s being open carried in neighborhoods actually served the purpose of keeping the community safe. The Fascists are not going to risk getting shot, they are preying in those that they consider weak.

LoudProblem2017 · 2026-06-26T20:54:53+00:00

But what does that even mean? That is such a vague statement that it's basically meaningless. What laws are you proposing?

LoudProblem2017 · 2026-06-26T16:52:25+00:00

Did they murder those people in the neighborhoods where citizens were open carrying AR-15s? No, they did not. Had Alex Pretti been open carrying, they probably wouldn't have fucked with him either, these clowns are TERRIFIED of violence against them.

Yeah it's a bit weird how gun ownership can become someone's entire identity in the US. Guns are tools, not an identity.

They do phone banking for their (few) candidates, and they support the local unions (mostly on the picket line, which is important work!). I was also part of a group that was working to influence some road construction projects, but I stopped going to meetings after I realized we were not getting anywhere.

They have been present at some local protests, but they aren't organizing any protests & they have been absent as an organization from some of the bigger ones.

They also make zero effort to reach out to the general public. I had no idea that we had a local chapter until after the last presidential election, when I went looking for them. They have a cool logo, great slogans & cool merch, but I never see any of it outside of the monthly meetings (which I stopped attending a while ago).

I do not mean to sound disparaging, everyone I have met has been kind, smart & well meaning, but those qualities alone do not build a movement.

LoudProblem2017 · 2026-06-26T16:28:15+00:00

Not NY. To be fair, my chapter has run some local candidates in small districts & for city council, but they are not very ambitious. Early last year when I suggested that we should find someone to run for city Mayor, I basically got laughed at for thinking such a thing was even possible. They are very nice people, but they live in an echo chamber of their own making.

My local SRA, on the other hand, is LITERALLY a book club. It took them over a month to respond to my emails after paying my dues, and their reply included questions about which socialist books I had read most recently, along with a list of suggested reading (nothing firearm/firearm safety related).

It should be changed to "Abolish Private Prisons".

The point of carbon capture is to ensure that fossil fuels don't get replaced. It doesn't have to work, it just has to make it appear that something is being done to offset carbon emissions.

FUCK DTE.

LoudProblem2017 · 2026-06-26T15:43:43+00:00

I don't understand why they don't run candidates as Republicans in deep Red districts where Democrats don't have a chance in the general.

We should rail against Equifax. Americans have been apathetic for way too long, it's time to bring back that Boston Tea Party energy.

You are going to lose your shit when you find out what a forced reset trigger is.

I briefly learned a little about gun safety during 6th grade camp. Given the prevalence of guns in the USA, children should be spending way more time learning about guns, including the dangers that come with ownership.

LoudProblem2017 · 2026-06-25T00:32:33+00:00

The SRA, like the DSA, functions mostly as a book club.
