I asked several Meetup hosts and they, like myself, have not received any "resist" correspondence, or miss use. None, Of my 200 or so members have complained, or mentioned such a thing. Of course, very few of these people, like myself, would not be anything but supportive of any calls to resistance. Most are ashamed, disgusted, fearful of the future and angry about American government. They are quite upset about, foreign policy, fascist cointelrpro tactics, oligarchy and corporate influence. The concern is rampant among millions of us, like I have never seen before. They probably would be supportive and certainly not take it as sedition. It is like when people speed, or cheat on their taxes, or get naked anyway. They have had enough. It depends on which circles you hang in, of course. These are middle of the road, to leftist, nice people and some with libertarian leanings. So, I wouldn't be surprised to see calls for resistance like you describe, and that is free speech to me.
It is just that I have not seen, nor heard anything about this. Perhaps it is some fake news? Many in the government would like to see any organizing tool like Meetup go away. Probably because so many people are feeling as they do. These in power don't like people out of control, organizing, dwarfing their own political exhibitions of support, being in the way and resisting them. Places like Meetup and others on the internet are good for that and government has had a long history of repression, defamation and infiltration.
There are some more private political entities that are undermining democratic processes, especially media. Maybe it is a version of swiftboating, a dishonest manipulation of fact to undermine things one is opposed to?
Some would say that we are corrupting, immoral, spreading horrible illegal things and attacking children in the most vile ways, by advocating naturism. By their standards, that would be illegal sedition. They would want to shut down the internet sites and meetup groups. So, what do we do? We resist. We become supportive of each other. They would call us perverted, seek to imprison us, and do smear campaigns to discredit us...uh. oh! That IS what they are doing! If we were more important and costing them money, they would be more aggressive.
So, our body rights are under attack when our free speech is cut back. They go hand in hand. As long as Meetup gives the same treatment to left and right...everybody... we all need to be supportive of what it produces, whether we like it or not. This is a naturist's issue. I personally can't see myself boycotting them.
I can understand your feelings Bob. Coming from my point of view, my stomach recoils and I go into shocking feelings within a few minutes when I get subjected to Fox News, which I see as alarming purposefully blatant manipulations, fascist, divisive and racist. I turn it off, I boycott being subjected to it in public venues, but I figure that it is part of the set of rights that will ultimately protect us all, so I swallow a bitter pill.
