Can we talk organizing? Historic resistance movements? Tips? Tricks? Thoughts?

Jump

  • Well there are two issues there.

    • First, where's the right place to organize? This community has decided to not focus on politics, and instead direct people to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world and !askusa@discuss.online which is fair enough.
    • Second, what can we do that is more than just a big protest/rally? There are plenty of organizations that do important work but a lot of progress isn't big and flashy enough to make the news. The 50501 demonstrations came about in part because people felt not enough was being done and wanted something bigger and flashier, and several organizations went to the 50501 demonstrations to offer "next steps." But to answer the question "what can we do?": find an organization that does more than just demonstrate, i.e. maybe they pressure congressional reps., maybe they focus on state- or city-level policy, maybe they support legal challenges, maybe they help protect vulnerable communities, etc.

  • Your post will probably get removed. You may want to go look at !Resist@fedia.io instead. There's a sticky post there with useful links too. Personally I favor https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/ because they're organized locally and perform targeted demonstrations e.g. to get a specific congressional rep to act a certain way.

  • Yeah we're like waves in an ocean that break, recede, and are re-formed. I do kinda miss my dead family members tho.

    • Why is lying on the floor more entertaining than lying on a bed?

    Jump

  • Agreed! I'm typing this out while reclining on my futon+mattress on the floor.

    • What does a threat model look like?

    Jump

  • So there's a formal/professional approach and there's an informal approach.

    Formally, there are fields like Risk Management aka Risk Analysis; in these fields there are various frameworks and approaches for things like threat models and risk assessments. This is more than most of us need.

    Informally “this is what I want to protect myself against” is indeed a good way of thinking about it. You can write something up for yourself, or you can just think it through. If the threat model helps you use your time / resources wisely, then it's a good threat model.

    • You are stuck in a timeloop, but your memory also gets reset every loop; But you are able to preserve 1024 Bytes of information between each reset, how would you use this "memory buffer"?

  • Bed on the floor. Best of both worlds.

    • I hate this image because idiots will see it, not understand what its showing, and make up some crazy shit based on it.

  • The Quick And The Dead is clearly the best movie he's in.

    And yeah, anyone smart enough to "brave the fediverse" is smart enough to figure out how to watch it for free.

  • I don't know much about billionaires, so I just kind of assumed that they had kids with, like, royalty or business family heiresses or A-list actresses. Not with their employees and/or whoever is left at the cocktail party after the A-listers have gone.

    • I had an anonymous Google account I had been using with Grayjay. Today, they decided I must be a bot.

  • Google is like a useful acquaintance who inevitably one day will pull a knife and threaten to cut you. You have to be ready to leave at a moment's notice.

    • What's going on in comicstrips@lemmy.world?

    Jump

  • Yeah dunno I was just guessing.

    • What's going on in comicstrips@lemmy.world?

    Jump

  • What benefits could there possibly be for this? ... Surely it makes no sense that someone would anyone go out of their way to constantly create new accounts just to post comics?

    I have no idea who is doing this or why.

    But if the question is: why COULD someone be doing this... it's possible that the person just wants to be as anonymous as possible? There are a lot of people in the fediverse who take privacy very seriously. And given the state of the world, I don't blame them.

    They were rude and accusatory to you, which suggests they're not "professionals" (who would have just ignored you), but rather an individual with strongly-held beliefs, which supports this hypothesis.
