Yes but also wise up - we’re not the same as Exxon Mobil or Rio Tinto. We individually need to make our changes, absolutely - but they won’t unless we force them to do so and they dwarf us in output to an inhuman degree.
Simply - we need to stop their machines in a very literal sense. They’ve already shown that dialogue and scientific reasoning is an utterly useless vehicle for change in the face of their organisations - so we need to start speaking in languages they understand. Remove their ability to function. Direct action is the answer to the question.
I’m more in the blockade a port/unmake a pipeline/put sand in the oil tanks kind of a mindset but go off
Dude. The world is being killed and the people killing it have names and addresses. This is not a untouchable force of nature causing our homes to flood and burn while the ecosystems that allow us to farm collapse.
You have agency. Get angry, channel it and get active.
Their centrist pearl clutching hasn’t done anything so far so why make yourself smaller to appease someone who won’t help anyway? Sorry - get real about the stakes or get aside.
Diversity of tactics. There’s no point in pissing on other people’s praxis when you have the capacity and space to organise your own.
Want harder action? Find a pipeline. Blockade a port.
Want to educate people about actions and how to get involved? Organise a street march and equip people with rhetoric to help turn the tide against fossil fuel astroturfing.
Just do something.
They are - which means they’re ahead.
Stop with the black pill nonsense. There’s plenty we can do. Get active, get amongst it, break unjust laws.
Lay down and rot somewhere else.
Brother, that’s not how we talk to people. Everyone here is treated like people and respected for their personhood. This isn’t a theatre for bigoted nonsense - there’s other platforms available if you want to attack people and get that out of your system.
Show people respect or leave people alone - but don’t be like that.
Meanwhile, as schools and hospitals are left chronically underfunded…
No, you’re alright, I think you’re entirely justified to rant about that. We continue being a very short sighted species.
Oh contraire - we’re 20 years late
I mean, I took that as the text, you know? Like, the only people who care about being seen as neurotypical are the people who think neurodivergents are lesser - everyone else just vibes.
I see where your read of it is coming from, for sure - idunno, I guess I just get the impression most people here seem pretty wise to diversity and all that jazz.
I’m not sure common sense is really a great metric for these kinds of things anymore, tbh - Poes Law and all.
For sure, agreed - and we live in a historical time with a stunningly (maybe overwhelmingly) broad potential to pull off both. So much to be done and yet to begin; long live the cool people doing cool and important things in cool and cool impactful ways!
praxis, forever!
Meanwhile, in countries with healthcare:
Yeah, that kind of thing I usually try to filter past but exceptionally rarely sometimes something catches me.
It’s been better since breaking a bunch of collection methods and adding garbage data to throw them off but, you know. Id rather just be happy with what I have and mindful/selective when getting new stuff - ads bloat that in a way I don’t appreciate, I guess.
wefwef has been pretty good for me so far - what client are you using?
It’s that kind of mucus you cough up, normally if you’re a bit sick. Not quite snot, not quite spit. Somewhere between.
I think we just witnessed the birth of its use! It vibes like something that’s chuggy but has a kind of abstract phlegmy quality to it.
Who knows - I should be sleeping!
