    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.

    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.

    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.



  • 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.

    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.

    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!
