I unsubscribed from Meetup, today.

Got an email from them:

Meetup has always served as an organizing platform for a wide range of political views, welcoming everyone from the Howard Deaniacs to the Tea Party. Meetup will always welcome people with different beliefs.

But after the recent executive order aimed to block people on the
basis of nationality and religion, a line was crossed. At a time when core democratic ideals feel under attack, we feel a duty to spark more civic participation.

Last week, we created 1,000+ #Resist Meetup Groups to act as local hubs for actions on behalf of democracy, equality, human rights, social justice, and sustainability. Already 50,000+ people have joined.

These #Resist Meetups are open to anyone who want to create a bright future that's rich with opportunity and freedom for all.

Meetup exists to connect people so they create opportunity and make the world they want. We hope members take these Meetups forward to be powerful together.


Find a #Resist Meetup nearby


Time to say goodbye.

So, pretend I'm a grumpy old man who spends most of his time on the rifle range.

WTF is "Meetup"? I assume it doesn't have anything to do with eating more meat. :?

Meetup.com is a social media website designed to help groups organize meetings. There have been a number of groups around town that used MeetUp to announce meetings and manage rsvps.

There's only one I still have any involvement with.

The clue that they are Liberal Terrorists™ is their usage of the phrase "social justice". We need an updated EO 9066 for them. I'm so sick of these "people" trying to undermine our nation's sovereignty.

Ahhh, ok it makes more sense now.

I do love it when leftie groups throw out utopian and incompatible ideals like "democracy, equality, human rights, social justice, and sustainability".

I wonder if they'd say that about a #WeSupportTrump Meetup group.

I never made that one. Used to go to the ones at The Local, though. If you REALLY miss those lunches, you could always start 'em up again.

I tried, I was the only one at the Local that day. Food was still good. People looked me funny when I stated talking about guns to myself.

Quitting isn't the only answer. If the site was important to you, why not stay and fight? Seems that is the problem these days, there isn't any interest in standing up to retake what is being corrupted and taken over. Just roll over and let the Lefties take over.
