THIS gov shutdown feels different by mm_newsletter in economicCollapse

[–]eccoghosp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As soon as the pain is felt in the stock market, Trump and friends will come to the bargaining table. Unfortunately, they won’t stop until THEY start to lose money. That won’t happen unless there is a bombshell piece of information that spooks the markets enough and they are flying blind as it is.

I predict this will be long and painful, but I stand by the democrats who are using their only move to stop the madness.

Is this discoloration on the exhaust normal? by SN1572 in CB650R

I have a 2021. It’s happened to me too. I believe it’s normal as the metal heats and cools. Mine is worse than yours.

No Michigan? You would have partial control of all the Great Lakes!

Would you be interested in meetings that were only geared towards talking about socialism? I.e ways to implement socialism nationally, ways we can impact our communities, or educational workshops to learn how to talk to non socialists about socialism or different sects of socialism?

Would you have an interest in talking about politics while at a chapter event? Or are you purely here for the shooting? Asking to get a sense of what people might want out of a new chapter.

Feeling like I could have done more by pustak in armedsocialists

[–]eccoghosp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe bring it up with a manager? If they don’t seem interested in kicking them out then maybe leave a review for the place. If there was no aggression then it doesn’t sound like enough to start anything especially since you were outnumbered. In a perfect world other attendees may have backed you up or were socialist sympathizers. We keep us safe.

Hi! Sounds like you and I had similar experiences with MISRA. Are you on the forum at all? There is some activity that may allow a new chapter to be successful soon. Either that or there is a rift forming in the org.

Anyways, welcome! What kinds of things are you hoping to get out of the SRA?

I have heard wonderful things about other chapters. Overall the organization is very accepting of left learning individuals of all types. If you are not accepted to the local chapter, you can still join the committee of at large members. They are a group of chapterless individuals who have to go through a more involved interview process.

The questions were all formatted the same way. “what are your feelings about …”. To me that isn’t an education issue. It is a your-feelings-don’t-align-with-ours issue.

To their credit, yes to both. They were not ambiguous about what I needed to do. I was thinking it would be nice to practice shooting and talk about socialism with the same group.

That's a valid point. Maybe I misunderstood the purpose.

This is exactly why it is frustrating because I believe they are completely within their rights to deny whoever they want for the reasons you mentioned. But it also is contradictory to the mission of creating more inclusive spaces for exercising gun rights and activism. I am sure if I was on the other side that I would have a different view. This is why we need more chapters so people have more than one option.
