The civil rights movements of the 60s, Jim Crow, etc, won by being willing to be beaten. By voluntarily entering a cafe and sitting there waiting to be served like a human being, meanwhile being willing to be called names, dropped food and drinks onto them, burnt with cigarettes, abused.
That willingness and perseverance in wanting to be recognised as the human beings they are awoke the rest of the population.
Pacifist demonstrations and matches are a way to achieve that. They are displays for your fellow colleagues, not for the government you want to depose. Make clear that they are pacifist. Prepare and inform the people going. Sit down if you are charged. Stop violent people there. Etc. Make obvious that the fascist are fascists that way and say and invigorate people to your side.
Artists are on a gift-based economy. They gain status by giving away works. If you are the best artist in the world but don't make an effort to share your works, you are irrelevant. The more they give away the more they are recognised. Even if they give them away via pirated works. See: movies, songs that everybody knows and resonates with. Status is their currency, not money.
The status then allows them to obtain more money than other people, incidentally.
CEOs are on a market-based economy, they sell goods and services for money. They don't sell their status. The goods and services they sell are not theirs, but created with the stolen sweat, blood and lives of the people that work for them, which get a minuscule share of the profit for the amount of life they put onto it.
In gift-based economies such as the ones of artists, open source developers, fashion, cultures without scarcities of the specific resource that makes the economy (such as small plentiful tropical tribes, communes, etc), the status is the currency.
History shows time and time again that collapsing cities/societies/empires cannot be stopped nor redirected with violence. The endemic causes are there, violence may provide a respite but it just accelerates the overall disintegration of the society.
May what is happening to the USA be a wake up call for the rest of the western world.
If you need to exercise your right to bear arms, you have already lost. The battle is won in education, critical skills, and mobilising together (unions, etc).
There's a reason Digital Rights Management techonologies are loved by corpofascists; control over the full communication channel, from file source, to OS kernel (TPM modules, trusted computing, signed OS images via UEFI), to transmission protocol, to physical channel (hdmi) to screen de rendering in the final device.
Once the tooling is laid out and people are forced into not owning their devices, nor being able to copy, nor consume media that hasn't been cryptographically signed and approved, then it's all fair game.
There's ways to ensure digital rights and reduce privacy that don't need forcing people to not own any part of the communication channel whatsoever (privacy is a UX problem, give people an easy way to consume media and they will pay for it).
Exactly. All of that things that Germany has, meanwhile Spain is not even a federation. Yet it has the same level or more of autonomy on its regions than a federation.
The Spanish regions have autonomy on both collecting taxes, and assigning their own budgets. They are autonomous in the case of emergencies, healthcare, education (which allows them to set their culture), cultural ministeries,, with their own regional bodies that make their own decisions.
All this is more federal than the federal states of Germany.
Being a consitutional monarchy or republic doesn't have anything to do with federation.
Being a constitutional monarchy instead of a republic just means that they have a predesignated figurehead that represents the country, instead of electing that figurehead. The person is just a figurehead that rubberstamps things, but doesn't take decisions at all. Be it the king (in a constitutional monarchy like Spain, Norway, UK, Denmark, Sweden, etc) or however you want to call it (in a republic like France, Germany, etc).
Spain's government is more federal than federal governments like the German one.
Spain's Autonomous regions have way more leeway and freedom than regions in federal governments.
In case you think "but those policies are not needed, they are superfluous" (like some Arch devs). They are not. Packagers send their fixes upstream, and then, other distros, with lower standards, consume the already fixed upstream releases, and sometimes pretend that this work was not needed nor present, not realizing that all distros benefit from it even if your policies are more relaxed.
There's a reason why the Deepin Desktop Environment was never part of Debian, and only available via their own ppa repositories, even if the Deepin distro is based in Debian.
That assumes though that the definition of web browser and its needed stack stays static.
What happens if we all browse the net primarily via VR then? The line is blurry, so is Mozilla org.
