Civil War re-enactor on the Confederate side. You can't be too careful these days.

Excuse me if I don't take literally anything they have to say.
I wasn't trying to give them undue credibility; they're just the only resource I could find, which is sad.

But my general point was even that they have a disproportionate labeling of right wing groups, Uber still didn't call out most of them.

In other words, I don't think it's fair to criticize Uber for not calling out the leftists groups, given that they didn't call out most of the right wrong groups, there are so many different groups and categories, and there isn't much outside information for them to do it anyways.

I get the hypocrisy of the narrative. At the same time, I think it's unfair to expect everybody to find some politically ideological equilibrium of groups when the ideologies of the groups having varying degrees of political ideology consistency, history, membership, methods, and crimes themselves.

In fact, I think this is an almost self-defeating perspective because it's essentially a tacit acceptance of groups into your political ideology, in an attempt to discredit the other groups.

So when someone ends a trip because they do not want to drive around a BLM supporter, will that be racist or will it be them using the same right that Uber is giving to other drivers?

I'm appalled that we've reached the point in our society where a business simply remaining silent on this issue = supporting Nazis.

I got the same email from that count and I decided right then I will only be using lyft for rides going forward. Unfortunately I’ll still need them for Uber Eats and black cars on occasion but no more regular rides from me!

"General hate" made me chuckle. I picture a bunch of grumpy old men bitching about "kids these days".

Just relied to the email, I'll let y'all know what they say


I replied with a simple "well, that's bullshite." Apparently the address that sent the email is not monitored and doesn't receive replies. I looked all over their website and could not find a way to contact them.

We all know why they did not say that about BLM. It would be a legal nightmare to say we will not pick up some black people.

I did not get an email from Lyft yet. Smart move by them.
