  • This is a fluff peice to tell people they are passive and don't need to shoot or stab oligarchs in self defence.

    (luckily it's easy to stop being rich)

    Reformists can keep calling their representatives and organizing to support election voracity and voting rights ig. But like maybe do it more or harder than before? thx!

  • Protest 101 talks about managing your personal risk profile. If you're interested or concerned, it might be relaxing to read a few Protest 101 guides, even if you don't plan on doing street protests yourself.

    It's teamwork -- More like a football/soccer game where the announcers and crowd are also on team. Not everyone is a forward. Concessions are not optional.

    If the mind is still hungry, there are Occupation and Temporary Autonomous Zone guides to read.

  • agree. we will have to actively repair gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement and supression on our local levels if we want change via voting.

    not sure we'll get that without some Direct Action™

    even then, with the going rate of an hour of work being such shit, mostly only cash-addicts end up running for office... Hard to keep it fair and honest when almost everyone is threatened with hunger, homelessness, and super mean imprisonment if they can't maintain the finicky contractual approval of a land-owner.

    We have this year to fix it, hopefully, if enough people do whatever they can, or at least stop mainlining the red fascist or blue enabler koolaid.

    think globally, act locally, etc.

  • Modern day Asatru practitioners of good firth have to run constant vigilance against supremicists creeping in. Some folks make it in to good groups from cruel groups and have trauma to work out from being around that vitriolic perspective.

    A lot of the effective work comes down to actively communicating openness and inclusion for practitioners from all backgrounds that are willing to do same.

    IOW Norse pantheon worshipers talking and walking as equal and allied with POC and queer folks all the time makes the right jerks uncomfortable.

  • I think hippie 'survivalist' material can be foundbunder 'homesteading' more easily. Still a portion of exclusionary-supremacists and superstitious-dogmatics, but somewhat fewer in my experience. More sustainable growing techniques, with the guns chapter further back in the book. More mutual aid networking, less barrel frotting.

  • thanks for your efforts!

    more of us than one might think. and we don't always need all diehard lefties to fight for Wages Hours and Conditions.

    It's good to turn up the signal as more people of all stripes become Unsure as instability and chaos build in our systems.

    Anyway -- something important to keep in mind is that a hard left turns are fought with gardens and tools and 'barn'(etc) raisings even more than demonstrations or violence.

    Labor movement, black panthers, and zapatistas are worth a quick study for grassroots practices.

    admittedly, what the oligarchy and police state don't want folks to learn about is Direct Action.

  • plausible?

    u.s. is in near-freefall.

    Every day we are settung precident for what we will and will not tolerate. Not pulling the lever on socialist revolution keeps us on track for tyranical feudalism.

    We can make it plausible or sleep in the graves corprate is ordering us to dig for ourselves.

    Pardon the passions, folks who have already worked out their character sheet and place in the effort.

  • The monstertruck comercial is for people in my life that I love. Also my own enjoyment.

    I don't think people who crave high stimulation messaging, or enjoy pantomime or slapstick should be left to the mercy of profiteer programming. Just because I enjoy technical reading and essay style lectures doesn't mean that works for everyone. I wouldn't like to leave any neighbors behind.

    Not sure what works for you, internet stranger, but maybe it isn't socratic dialogue.

    So. Yah, everything from my prior post is earnest and inclusive. Folx can fimd a better place any projected sarcasm or derision.

    on tumblr they say some of the reading comprehension is piss poor. (#iheardupissonthepoor)

    No one needs to thank me or like me, as long as I can have my equitable living rights, yah? so no sweat: keep the emotional labour.

  • people who have access to equitable righta and education (ie girls go to school, everyone has access to the economy and healthcare including sexual health) tend to self-regulate the population towards sustainable levels.

    Stupidity is created through systemic sexism, dumbification, and reinforcement of poverty.

    Baby booms happen when people don't know how the world, including their bodies, work, and when uterus-havers are isolated and have control over their own life paths and bodies removed.

    the usa before women had equitable banking, voting, education, healthcare, and employment access is a fine example -- there are plenty around the world.

    tl;dr overpopulation is an effect of discriminatory and oppressive environments and not a herreditary issue.

    we are born to a bellcurve of smartness; just a lot of people get it starved and beaten out of them and are put on the prison pipeline before they can figure out what's going on.

    we've known this a long time but it's hard to 'sell' to privledged people who didn't have to think about it and don't want to talk about reperations for redlining, boarding schools, etc... (good morning and welcome to the Blood Machine)

    can anyone write a monster truck ad version of my comment that is readable at a 3rd grade level, pls?

    also, it's the power grip and reciprocity. that's what makes us human.

  • if puppy is too dev'y, or multiple user accounts are needed, MX linux does great on old hardware. (with xfce -- kde and fluxbox are also options) [faster than lubuntu, xubuntu, zorin, in my experience]

    both are wonderful.

  • i have an info sharing compulsion that makes me obnoxious to people who didn't really want a helpful reply at the moment. found my niche in DnD and study groups, but i still piss off people irl when they want to complain without being offered solutions or encouragement.

    i might not have jerk intentions, but it can be jerk behavior if i misread the room hard enough.

    thanks for engaging in earnest.

    people are definitely people. Do you like bellcurves?
