   The group has dulled right down since about 2008, maybe when GFC caused many   
   40-60yo guys to move down from middle class to some sort of lesser class where   
   maybe they felt they were dis-possessed, dis-enfranchised, ripped of,   
   marginalized, dis-empowered,    
   neutered, irrelevant, unwanted, forsaken, and a bit pissed off by many other   
   things. So trying to build the sound system they dreamed of in 1960s was not   
   possible, or they didn't feel like doing it, and survival comes first. I'd   
   reckon many of them want    
   to now vote for Trump, or Sanders, or whoever can offer a reversal of their   
   fortunes. But as soon as either of these guys get power, the un-elected lobby   
   guys in suits will gather round, and they tell him "Mr President, here's the   
   list of promises you    
   MUST break, and here's the shit-sandwich policies you are going to pursue for   
   the people, you got that, OK..."   
      
   But Unkle Time is The Merciless One, and Aunty Destinee don't give a fuck.   
   Everyone likes to buy Chinese underpants because it costs too much to make   
   them in the USA - Globalisation! Since 2005, many alternative groups started   
   where I found very little    
   of anything to discuss, and postings were moderated, criticism banned, and not   
   my scene.   
   Keep well, but its difficult. At least try to NOT go insane, you become a big   
   nuisance :-),
