Please stop trying to ban guns from your neighbors. We might need to stand up for one another. The proletariat must not be disarmed.
I have two neighbors.
One is an ‘I don’t pay attention to politics, but I vote R every time’ Republican. The other is a Russian and a big fan of Putin.
It’s a nice dream but schools indoctrinate people on individualism so they don’t have a class conscience.
Wait really? Yeah I guess once learned there’s nothing to be done about that.
The government IS the people. You just don’t kike your neighbors. Get involved in your community and be the change you want.
This will require economies not seen for 10,000 years
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is right now. A journey of a million miles begins with a step… blah blah blah taco.
But in order to effect any change, we have to start working towards that change. We have the numbers. The Conservative/fash overthrow didn’t happen overnight or even in a couple decades. It was a widespread, manifold effort on multiple fronts. But now that pretty much everyone has seen its effects, people are broadly growing sick of their policies. We can and are building something better. More than that, the systems we can build are resistant to infiltration and interference by entrenched oligarchical powers.
Timebanks, Truly Free Markets (bring your extras, take what you need), clothing repair/tailoring, and fix-it clinics are some of the ways my partner and I invest our time in our community. It amounts to about two hours per week spread over the year. I mentor and tutor in writing, math, and engineering, and write software for community projects. One of my close friends coordinates gardening efforts and free food exchanges in his impoverished community. He builds window boxes, indoor hydroponic systems, automated systems for those without yards/garden area. **There are myriad ways to build and everyone has worthwhile skills to contribute. **
It was a widespread, manifold effort on multiple fronts.
Backed by billions of corpo-bucks on all of those fronts.
If we’re going to fight them on that playing field, how do we overcome that advantage?
I’m not reading all that.
Gee, I wonder how everything got so fucked up.
People read a bunch of things and things still didn’t get better
Nobody read shit, I promise you.
People can’t read a small passage of text now? We are fucked. The rest of us are out here swimming against a tide of disinformation and ignorance and it is precisely because people like you can’t be bothered to give a fuck.
Do you know how many small passages I’ve read that amount to farts in a hurricane?
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Your mom is the soul of wit. By ‘wit’ I mean my pants and by ‘the soul of’ I mean ‘always welcome back to’.
There we go
They were just giving you a comment that you could read. If you can’t even read three short paragraphs, why would anyone bother engaging in good faith?
