ty. it's definitely been a lesson in the ins and outs of organizing. the hardest part was when a fairly intelligent albeit socially awkward member of the group had a full-blown pink ninja-style psychotic meltdown and started saying flatly inappropriate and offensive stuff during meetings... it got so bad that after we had to ask him to leave he started waiting outside the library space where we meet and doing some other stalker-type stuff. I don't think he would have tried anything violent, but some of the members of the group who had been singled out wound up taking out a restraining order and he eventually got committed. it was pretty fucked up and we lost some really good people because of it.
it's pretty impressive that you pulled through that kind of fuckery and the group came out intact and solid on the other side, nice work

eh i guess. we lost about ten people over the whole debacle, a lot of the sds kiddies thought him getting sent to the state hospital was some sort of targeted, planned thing and left in protest. luckily they were pretty passive-aggressive about the whole deal and didn't bring it to a head publicly. it was pretty ugly but we're recovering now.

yes i'm white. i said your opinion is incorrect for other reasons, but that as a white person it pays to be more careful when expressing opinions about minority cultures.
meanwhile: yes, australian rap is shit; i explicitly said i wasnt defending kanye but you also claimed i called you a silly little girl so why stop now with the putting words in my mouth; i disagree with your opinion on david lynch but you're entitled to it.

hello i'm not a mod so i'm not going to mod you but look. petrol is not attacking you as a person and you are pointlessly posting things like "yes thats a threat" (pro tip you can't actually do anything to other internet users), and "nvm petrol pls don`t answer i don`t like responding to u". if you don't want petrol to answer don't post. if you reconsider a post then there's an edit button. and if you find yourself non-sarcastically writing "go the fuck away bro or else" then you could also just not post instead because you're wasting everyone's time including your own.
this is not because you are a woman. it is because you are posting utterly empty noise. people post a lot of sarcastic bullshit here but generally the posts are actually worth reading. these posts are not.

babyhueypnewton posted:hmm interesting that a disorganized consensus anarchism with a lack of hierarchy in education and setting rules is actually fascist pedagogy, currently in the form of petty-bourgeois lifestylists, rather than actual leftism. almost like anyone who gets off the computer and goes outside learns this automatically and the Graebers of the world have to keep beating themselves in the head to forget it.
i don't think it had much to do with the dazzle fingering consensus ideology, just that the SDS members who left were mostly poseurs who did it to look cool.
There are still several SDS members who come to our meetings and they're awesome young comrades who will probably go far as activists. its easy to hate on the SDS but it's often young people's first exposure to radical thought in any form so it's not surprising that you get stupid behavior and bad opinions.
SDS chapters vary pretty widely and we're lucky that there's currently a pretty strong socialist streak in this one, so that helps
