Yeah, that’s fair. In leftist spaces we should have healthy debate. We just can’t let that undermine solidarity with our more and less radical members.

I get what you’re saying, but we need both of you, and we need you to stop fighting.
We only win enough power to deal with fascism (which will kill millions at this rate) and eventually climate change (which is going to kill billions of people) if we use EVERY strategy available to us. Progressive like electing the best democrats we can, socialist like labour action, and radical like actually fighting an unjust system.
But most importantly we have to stop fighting eachother. People like you need to hold their noses and vote at every election they can for the best candidate they can. People like wuffah will need to tolerate well targeted revolutionary action without publicly criticizing the left.
1·3 days agoSomehow, the idea that Trump would sacrifice his chances of winning a manly bigly war to own the libs, is just the right combination of idiotic and hate filled that it feels plausible.
Yes, let’s arm only the liberals with the best weaponry American tax dollars can buy. I’m unironically down for that!

You can either enjoy this relationship for what it is, or find a relationship that meets your needs!
That’s not what the devil looks like in South Park damn it!
This is gorgeous!

That’s not the original intent. In the US, HOAs were mostly created after the end of segregation to keep black people out of white neighborhoods, an origin story that puts into context the modern of pettiness and desire to control others we see in stories like this.
When these were found unconstitutional in 1948, they became private contacts until those became illegal in 1968, but because HOAs had to approve new members/buyers, the rules stayed in effect until the majority of a community decided to stop being racist. On top of that, in 1963 the Federal Housing Administration said they would only insure mortgages on homes with an HOA which is really what created suburban sprawl and the ghettoization of the American inner cities.
If you look at the history of HOAs it’s really a long and protracted fight on all levels by racists and bigots against the Civil Rights movement.

TL;DR: Although conceptually HOAs are a good idea, even trending towards communalism, actually existing HOAs are, with a few exceptions, downright regressive, often criminally so.
