The so called left no longer defines me. I’m out of step with most of society and most of DU. At some point one becomes so sensitive to toxic bullshit that pointing it out, no matter the source, is a mental health imperative. It can be a little scratchy, but I like me this way.

The two biggies:

* Global Warming -- This is a biggie. Billions of people are going to suffer and die. We MUST quit fossil fuels. Soon.

* Habitat Destruction -- We MUST preserve what biodiversity is left


A random selection of the rest: The good, bad, and the ugly

* Universal Basic Income

* Universal Health Care

* Universal Literacy and lifetime Educational Opportunities

---

* Automobile Culture

* Factory Farm Meat and Dairy Products

* Gun Culture

* Police Violence

---

* Hunger and homelessness

* Racism

* Misogyny, oppression of LBGQT people, etc.

* Anti-intellectual religions and cults

And so on...
