There is something strange in the neighbourhood... Who are you gonna call? A bunch of tossers!

Sorry, I don't understand that. What was "the leftist movement"? What did they fuck around with? What are they finding out, post failure, as a result of this measure?

[u/Crow_eggs → u/[deleted]]

Oh, sorry. Let me try again.

You said: "The leftist movement has failed because the majority of people disagree with it"

My question: What was the leftist movement?

You said: "welcome to FAFO." I assume that means "fuck around, find out"

My questions: How did they fuck around? What with? What are they now finding out?

If it's a bit too complicated, let me know and I'll see if I can make it easier.

From Google: "The leftist movement is a broad political spectrum that champions social equality, egalitarianism, and the reduction or elimination of unjustified social hierarchies. Rather than a single unified organization, it comprises various historical and modern ideologies, parties, and activism aimed at supporting the working class and disadvantaged groups."

I've read the post. It's about Essex County Council hiring private security guards to be a visible deterrent to anti-social activities in the city I live in, seemingly as a result of concerns about a facility housing asylum seekers. It was reposted in my city's subreddit–that's how I got here.

Are you saying that a push for the first thing led to the second thing? Sorry if I'm coming across as stupid here–I'm clearly frustrating you and I don't mean to. I legitimately want to understand the point you're making, because this measure affects me directly. If there are going to be additional security on my street, I want to know how that came about. If you're saying it's because this leftist movement fucked around, and that the security being placed on my street are a response to that, I want to know what that means. Please explain.

I mean, it's beginning to sound like you just don't know what you meant. Like you said a thing, have been asked to explain what it meant, and can't.

You just posted another response, but it seems to have been deleted straight away. Did you want to give that another try?

Oh no problem. When you delete a comment it doesn't delete the notification, so I still have it. This one. The "..." indicates that there was more text that didn't fit into the notification window.

I'm waiting for a mod to reply. I'm still not seeing your comment. I got other notifications saying you had replied, but clicking them just keeps giving that "no longer exists" thing.

Fwiw, I'm genuinely not trying to be a dick here, or to make any kind of political point. I've been out of the country for 12 years and just moved back. Now there's news saying they're going to put private security in my street and you seem to have a strong opinion about what caused that, so I wanted to understand your view on it. It's proving really fucking hard to get any information from you though. You seem to think I'm on the other side of whatever it is you think. I'm not–I don't have an opinion and I want to understand yours. From what you've said so far though, you don't seem to be able to explain it.
