I just watched a bad 80s horror movie called Dead And Buried that is supposed to take place in Maine but was filmed in Northern California.

Pretty sure the folks who advocate for genocide, racial separation, and white supremacy are absolutely the worse side, but if you want to tell me how those might be positive things, I’m willing to listen.
I’m also not sure what mass shootings have been perpetrated or “low income cities” have been burned down by anyone credibly claiming to be left wing, but again, I’m willing to listen. The protests in cities in 2020 aren’t gonna count, those aren’t low income cities, those are cities with multi billion dollar budgets.
Whenever the government comes out with an update about the most pressing dangers regarding domestic terrorism, it’s always ultra right wingers that are the problem.
Yet somehow folks who spend most of their time working with Food Not Bombs or working mutual aid projects are the favorite boogeyman of the right?

Mind your business. If it’s not affecting you (other than making you feel weird), what business is it of yours?
Or, be a neighbor and go talk to her.

Way to go, Mr. Gotcha. May you rest easy tonight, knowing your noble mission was accomplished.

“Maybe it’s possible the mining can be done in an environmentally sustainable way?”
Has there even been an example of environmentally sustainable extractive industry? Kind of goes against the whole “destroying tons of earth and using caustic chemicals to separate small amounts of minerals from large amounts of rock” process that involves mining.
Also not sure if you’ve been informed but mining companies don’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to caring about…much of anything, including environmental protection or worker safety.

None of the things you’re describing are remotely “left wing” though. You’re describing symptoms of unfettered capitalism, which is the very thing left wing movements have been fighting against all over the world for a long time now.

Who are you defining as “the left” here? Or rather what’s your definition of “left”? Like actual anti capitalists or just run of the mill “socially liberal, economically conservative” liberals?

Reply to CMP shenanigans? by Ifellinahole
I actually set up a 2nd bank account (using Chime) strictly to pay my CMP bill, just to keep them the hell away from my primary account. The account only has enough to cover the bill + 20 bucks or so in it, that way if they fuck up it’s not affecting all my money.

Not sure about now but back in the mid 90s Cherry hill mall had some great curbs and manual pads so my skate crew would often just hang around the area.

They’re asking for sick days. Not even more sick days, just sick days in general.
And you’re being a dick about this?

I have these lightweight Tubbs ones, and use Keen winter boots, love ‘em both.
If you’re looking for a fun snowshoe/hangout day, Oxbow’s beer garden in Oxford has free use XC/snowshoe trails, and when you’re done you can get a pizza and beer right there.

Good thing it’s extremely difficult to “spend” money in ways that can circumvent laws and tax statutes.

Sounds like someone who knows their OSHA rules. Following OSHA rules is fantastic for malicious compliance.
