It is pretty complicated. I was harassed by an erotomaniac Guy I rejected. He threatened me in many ways. Bikers Friends helped me... So the guy linked things to my boss regarding political jokes I made with Friends on Fb. I work with far left people so...
I am so sorry that happened to you that is awful.
something like this happened in a private, professional group I am in on Facebook to one of the moderators. It is 95% union artisans from film and theater and a few young up and comers not in the union yet...You can't join without permission of moderators. It's a private group. And some of these young people are really, really stupid and lost their minds and probably fucked themselves with rabbit reactions to things that in the big picture don't matter. They attacked a moderator who posted a rape joke--to highlight how it was offensive--and he was attacked for posting the offensive thing he commented that was offensive...I mean that is illogical. It went on for days this post and the rapid fire comments of people.
I struggle calling these people 'left' personally because if you are left of Bernie Sanders--are you even still 'left' anymore? I honestly don't know.
IATSE for most part is pretty left minded people some center, (mostly speaking), so its hard for me to view these young anarchists as 'left' even though they are considered to be so--it's not my definition of left which I guess is changing as feminism seems to be changing/morphing.
They are hyper offended and they don't just attack in a 'debate' or argument (most people i know can handle a debate or argument, they don't mind that) they start to post sh*t on the man's personal wall
purposely misrepresenting him for some kind of spite and it was
crazy.
He booted them out of the group and then was criticized for booting them out of the group by a few early 20 something..He explained why he booted them out because they went on to his personal wall and said nasty sh*t to his friends and family--reasonable but they still criticized him as suppressing free speech (I mean LOL) It is just dumb.
They fucked themselves to be honest in my opinion.
I can go into more nuanced detail of what happened but its probably too long to read.
