  • Well, There is a range of options in my opinion. They range from immediate to long term futur. They range from achievable alone to mass mobilization.

    • Reading how peoples sustained themselves during ww1 et ww2 ( start a garden, adopt chicken) but it does take more time and cost reduction is not immediate

    • Having a library of thing is a way to help community project like a community garden to do the trick

    • work in a cooperative, everyone is owning the workplace and having equal pay. It is not that we don’t produce enough, it is that capitalism is wastefull, the boss of your boss make 20 times what you do, is he 20 more productive that you?

    • Help friends and family, they often have things in surplus, than can reduce waste and give away things for free as they exchange it

    • Ask for help, you are not the only one struggling, like, we all are, i mean wtf. We all are struggling, we are not angry enough. You will be surprised what peoples are willing to do to help a stranger.

    • you are struggling against a system that is quite happy to fine with you struggling, you know what will offer better pay and conditions? Join the army! You can die and torture yourself forever defending a system that put you in such a conditions in the first place.

    • mobilize for political change, be creative! As long as you are 75% in accord with a movement, join it but do not compromise if the output is against the right of other people (except power structure like state, richs, or obviously privilegied people) lets be more equals !









  • No no, do not limit yourself!

    • Let your critical spirit be on fire !
    • let your desire to help other put a fire in you !
    • Bring the heat of a thousand sun in your crusade against hunger.
    • Don’t underestimate the burn out and take care of yourself and other
    • Be fired up for another round of meetings
    • Add fuel to fire of rewilding
    • spread art and murals like wildfire
    • Try a baptism by fire by boldly trying linux for a week
    • Your last intervention lighted a fire in someone
    • Fan the flames of solidarity

    ok, i am cooked, i have only ashes of imaginations now xD




  • For anyone reading this.

    What this greedy capitalist want are people working all the time. The poorer and desperate they are the better. It mean they will accept ANYTHING in order to barely survive. The perfect worker/soldier !

    I passionate myself for french politics. Some right politician (they could be considered leftist by some American standard) want less paid annual leave. It is very unpopular and it need extraordinary constant popular démonstration to not pass that thing.

    The french have these thing because the resistance during the war asked for such things and more at the end of the war. They have it because of mass strike, popular démonstration, etc.

    It is NOT a fixed thing. And french politicians are not good listener, sometimes, they just do whatever they want. For example the when a cops use his gun, they had to justify and prove the use of strength. A recent law changed that. The cops using his gun is his right. It is up to the victim to prove that it was not appropriate. The law is dubbed “license to kill” by the opposition. An extraordinary petition was signed in a very short time. It passes anyway.

    No country is better than another. Power and greed go well together. France still have social security, paid annual leave, not getting shot by cops for no reason. But it is always a “for now”!

    It is the election season, some candidats campaign for better, far far better than they have but… they are dubed extreme left (to the disarray of actual leftist revolutionary parties). Methods of discredit are the same. Helping others start with yourself and end with everyone.


  • You could even expand on that. DNA is the blueprint (genotype). However you are talking about life, and life will find a way to live to the best of its abilities. Let’s dig on that:

    • imagine your original dog lacked some nutrients at some point, it may seem minor, ridiculous even but the expression of some sub-recipe could not activate properly during growth. So the recipe(genotype) was there but did not complete. The result (phenotype) is different.

    • Life is alive. Lots of things are active, well everything. Ex: for black and white cats, the black spots are due to hot spot on the body. So if you shave your cat, cover some area, it will grow black instead of white.

    • Plus you are assuming that the same blueprint, the same conditions give the same results. When replicating cells make mistakes that could radically change behavior, physical appearance, health conditions,etc

    The last is more philosophical and less sciency. The more you love a companion, the greater the loss. You regret everything that will be no more. Loss is an expression of the care you gave each other and you still give to each other. It was and is an existence that impacts and affects you.

    The pain is so unbearable that it crush to dust the “is it possible to do this” part of your reasoning. It obliterates the “should i do this”. And finally it even makes you miss the “should my companion would want that”.

    It is the thing that i find ugly.The lack of consent. Without consent, There is no care, no love. You love each other so much that even in the absence of the other the effect is so great yet you would disrespect all the things that you have been through, all the lessons and mistakes, all the moments that were precious because they happened once instead of never, all the things you have built together (including yourselfs).

    Plus it is a slippery slope. Your companion dumped you (it is a loss!). You clone it, put the same memories, everything in it. You comodified your relationship, your companion. You disrespect their freedom and consent to even leave you.

    It dumps you again, those memories of them should be the problem. Do you alter them ? So convenient. Obviously, it is not a relationship but a shitty product, a mere convenience for someone that refuses to grow, to learn.

    You could give and receive so much care yet you prefer a farce, a lie where every moment reminds you that those moments are passed and gone. It is not about both of you anymore, it is only about yourself. You have a problem, not a relationship.

    I will moderate myself a bit. In all the bits that make us humans you have the fear of pain and loss and the need to control everything. Your way of thinking is not ugly but human. However should you put that into practice in one form or another it will become ugly very fast.

    If anyone reading is experiencing such emotions. Take care of yourself, ask for help and share your experience if you are able to. Your relationship is unique. The emotion you experience is a part of human nature.We are not alone.




  • Due to a different circumstances, i was forced to have an interest in politics. I was center right in europe. I like evidence backed claims. Efficient policies, and damn the left is very good at that. I needed to kill a lot of internalized concept because they were factually wrong. ( war on drugs, VIH, abortion, ecology, tax break, housing, privacy, etc)

    I then became very anti-capitalist and communism became quite an attractive solution. The more strict the better ! REVENGE!!!

    However,

    • the communist party in my country is well know for having trouble to recognize Ouïghours slavery and … what the fuck the name of the amount of suffering is imposed onto them is called.

    • It is a very hierarchical structure, there is no pluralism, no nuance, no differents proposition to a problem, no diversity -> hey that look a lot like stalin or a sect

    • We will work better and faster and stronger when we will own the means of production, we will work more when we rise to power as we are proud. What is the meaning of work ? why work ? who want to work ? (andrewsim “who want to be working class”)

    • Still fixed hierarchy, still stupidly bureaucratic.Still cops, still prison, still kinda monarchic work structure, still not singing the full original international song (they left out some verse that are very anti-war and anti-autority)

    • Tend to sweep gender identity, neurodivergence, religions, beliefs, critical thinking under the rug for “cohesion”. Use fear and proudness to so. One solution fit all and everything. I understand the appeal. Everything is simple and homogeneous,you are part of the group, the goal is clear, just follow the leader kind of thing. -> hey wtf isn’t this like the religious sect maga ? or far right activists? yeah obviously they are going in different direction but the sect method looked the same.

    Well, i would say that i am quite confused but i got the spirit of anarchism. And i feel like that is anarchy itself. Critical of other theories and critical of itself. Constant change. Against the purity of thought, action, person, etc. The fact the there is not a single form of anarchy, there is spice and color. Anarcho-feminism ? anarcho-ecologist ? anarcho-comunisme ? anarcho-socialism ? crypto-anarchism (as in cryptography not the grift thing) a bit of all ? yes! and even in one of thoses “genre” you will find wild and various different form of them. I love it! Heck, i even find that in belgium and france it existed an anarchist(noel goddin) that launched patisserie in the face of politicians as a mean to protest and ruin their image of seriousness. It inspired other. He died recently but looking back onto their work they targeted politicians that are now in jail(kinda), industrials that are targeted with corruption charges, tv presentators thar are sex offender. So it is a haha moment then make you think.

    If someone disagree with me and is passionate enough to prove me wrong, please guide me to your vision so i can understood it better <3 I am not necessarily right, you are not necessarily wrong. I may oversimplified a fabulous, wild and free vision of well… everything.

    TLDR, communist party(or other authoritarian leftist) in my country exhibit in their structures, ideals and methods the very things that i despise in the current society, totalitarian regime or sects(religious or otherwise) (with a myriad of nuances but this is a TLDR)


  • Yeah!

    Assuming the system is secure ! It never is. Data breach happen. More so when your goal is to increase profit and reduce workforce (cost). Imagine China or Russia or anyone else having acces to that killchain for a fraction of second. It is automated, missile launched.

    Thoses human -were here for a reason. It is a human that prevented a nuclear holocaust when russian falsely detected an attack during cold war.

    What about data poisoning, error, mistake ?

    Why are we as a species doing this ? who want that ? why ? With a fraction of the cost, you can feed, educate, house homeless peoples. Now you can have artists, nurse, teachers, scientist.

    Fuck.

    But i am hopefull, i need to ! I post that on a federated open source and free social media made by human for human. It help me a lot. Diverse and united.






  • It is a question that i love to ask. Thanks for your answer.

    Since i challenged myself to use as must as open-source software as possible, i am mad at the quality and potential that is found in foss versus proprietary. I hate ads, subscription, login in so my info can be sold, so that i can be called 4/5 time a day to sell me stupid crap.

    I wanted to see what kind of software was in use in Minneapolis during the resistance against ice, the only in-depth account of such niche info i could access was crimetheinc (anarchist website)

    I looked around, they have a podcast called the ex-worker. Quite funny to listen to that while commuting to work.

    At work (IT), i could literally increase the productivty of at least myself by a 100 in a secure way if able to. (ansible, key based security, etc) But no, workload keep increasing, no ability to organise my work, forced to do the stupidest stuff ever cause, because. And all the time, i am responsible if anything happen. Both expert and inexperienced grunt. Verbal,moral abuse as well. Yeah burnout before 30. 100% work related, certified fresh.

    Funny enough, i became the ex-worker.

    The thing that helped me was of course a supportive as hell significant other, doctor, psychologist and friends that lived,live or will be in the same situation as me… Lots of them, it is quite scary, across lots of fields.

    And “stories of monk and robot” of becky chamber. While not explicitly anarchist, it does fit the bill very well and describe a futur worth fighting for.

    I already was snooping around leftist media. That helped with though like “i abandoned my colleagues”, “i do not want to be a charge of society”,“i am a manly man, i will return asap” That serves no purpose except being more exploitable and slow down recovery.

    OFC stuff like climate change, surveillance state, books, violence, every time a politician is in trouble the tv talk about immigration or burkini saying dumber and dumber shit, feminism, sexism, homophobia, mazan trials, activist répression, billionaires.

    Nothing is “normal” or “always has been the case”. Be critical of the movement and each other, reflect and growth together. All power to all the people.
