I'm honestly not sure it's even vindictive. Maybe in some cases, it's a big complicated issue.

We get such different news in the age of algorithms, they may not even see it as vindictive. I think it's easy to pull back from a group that paints your identity as a villain, and I think that's likely some of it.

I think it's too complex to attribute to one thing, I think you're right that the alt right social media pipeline is real and an issue.

I'm just saying I understand not identifying with a group who trash an identity a person belongs to. They just disengage. Nobody likes being put into a box that paints them as a villain.

Just my opinion of course, the left (as a social group) can examine the current discourse and try to adjust, maybe like framing it as a class struggle or a liberty struggle, or continue being divisive and risk being overridden.

Or discourse like that could be why young men are choosing the right.

I used to do a lot of jiu jitsu and the gear gets so sweaty and gross beyond belief and it gets a permanent funk. I tried everything to get it out, but here's the distilled formula. Sometimes.. stuff is beyond repair

  • Use less detergent. Counterintuitive, I know. But this actually made a difference. Something about extra soap staying on clothes and bacteria growing? I always thought more soap = more clean = more clean smell, but this did seem to make a difference. If they instantly stink once they get wet, this could be your issue.
  • oxiclean odor blaster. Soak the clothes in it as per the directions for a couple hours, then throw a little in the wash.
  • quarter cup of white vinegar in the fabric softener (more is not better) and an extra rinse after.
  • consider small amt of borax in the wash
  • line drying in the sun
