'Diversity of tactics' is really important to achieve a goal. If all you do is sign petitions, no one will take you seriously. And if all you do is violent demonstrations, you're gonna get treated as a hooligan with nothing to say.
You need dialogue to raise awareness, and protests to raise the pressure on politicians.
The value of living somewhere isn't only about GDP, it's also about the quality of life.
Touristy places are loud as the apocalypse, everything's expensive, finding a house is hard because of all the B&Bs, there's shitty drivers everywhere, parking is a nightmare... and all the infrastructure built to accommodate tourists is used only for 4 months a year, for the rest of the year the burden of maintenance is payed by the locals.
And if big corporations like Airbnb are involved, most of the income generated from tourism gets siphoned out of the city for some foreign shareholder to pocket anyway.
would you like to talk about how cool replicators are and their role in helping achieve post-scarcity?
Or how it might be the opposite. I'm in the camp that says it's because humans progressed as a species that they could make a post-scarcity society work. If replicators got invented today some billionaire would just patent it and lock it behind DRM.
I can't believe no one said Crusader Kings 2 nor Dwarf Fortress yet. The tutorial in CK II is so bad, it somehow makes thing more confusing, it is much better to just start a game in an easy location like Ireland and learn the game by yourself.
Dwarf Fortress has a tutorial nowadays, but I started playing it many years ago when you had no choice but to alt-tab to the wiki and figure out things on your own.
Oh, I've never been a tankie. I was saying that I was one of the people that wanted to stay federated with Hexbear and try to make it work.
I want to believe in leftist and queer unity, so I tried to turn a blind eye to their takes on Putin, thinking it was only a few bad apples.
But thinking back on it, the days we've been federated I was a lot angrier and jumpier than usual, and it's because of the bad energy they bring. Defederating was for the best.
