There have always been threats yes, but nothing like this. On our current trajectory, billions will die by the end of the century. The impacts of climate change will reshape our global society. Never in history has there been a threat so severe.

History never had the threat of a warming climate. A child starting school now will finish high school in what, 2038? We’ll be above 2 degrees warming by then. They’re in for a rough ride.

Oh no! This happened to me too! Is this a coordinated attack? 😱

That seems quite high. How many people would actually watch as soon as they got the notification? Do their videos usually get 500k views in the first hour?

It wouldn’t have to be all or nothing at first. They could still post to Youtube to share the load. Start with 3 servers and see how they get on.

Wht not spin up their own peertube instance? The tech is there. Idk how it would work out cost wise. 25M subscribers is a lot but how many simultaneous viewers would there be? 1000 is manageable, would probably only need one server. Creators must take distribution into their own hands.

Death to America means death to the imperial regime. It does not mean death to the American people. It is not a personal attack on you. It feels like you took it personally and starting throwing transphobic insults. If you want to make the world a better place. You have to do better.

That wasn’t very nice.

Dude you were being extremely transphobic. I actually went and read your convo. You were using the fact that Diva is trans so say some really horrible shit. No wonder she doesn’t want you posting in her comm.

Even if you differ in opinion. You actually do have to be nice to people and you do have to treat everyone with respect.

Wow yeah you’re right! How interesting. Do you think there’s a stigma around suicide which prevents people from seeking help when it is actually available?

Excellent points. I do think how the country is run has an effect on suicide rates. A country with a better welfare state can provide better care for it’s citizens. I think the meme challenges the belief that quality of life is poor in these countries.

I certainly wouldn’t want instances to defederate over content like this.

It’s true though. China and North Korea both have a lower suicide rate than Taiwan and South Korea. Wikipedia

What problem do you have with it?

Yeah having dependents does add another layer of difficulty. Get them involved lol

I think people can part-time disobedience. Of course having a support network would make things easier. Maybe I’m just having trouble imagining.

I do think destroying flock cameras is worthwile. We definitely need more style and I’d argue it’s quite substantial too. For every camera destroyed it drains the budget and limits how many more can be installed.

I can believe that but I think the more important metric is labour hours vs food produced. Less labour and more food means more time for other activities.

A support network for civil disobedience can never exist. The state would shut it down immediatly. And yet disobedience must occur if the system is to truly change.

This is where we find ourselves. Destroy flock cameras. Don’t get caught. Support Palestine Action. Don’t get caught. Use what little time is available to fight back. But most importantly, don’t get caught because no one else can afford to save you.

Indeed. I can certainly see the benefits of this type of activity. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea for mental health and a sense of community.

But we had better community in the past and still felt the crushing weight of capitalism. Fighting back means fighting back. Community gardening is the left side of the meme.

Sorry but community gardening as a solution is one of the worst I’ve heard. It’s very hard to achieve the same level of scale and efficiancy that large farms do with these small gardens. For instance, I see no machinery in this picture. Are we really wanting to go back to the days where farming is done by hand?

Sure it’s good for the soul to get together and grow things but as a means to feed society it’s just not viable.

Do you really think a small group of farmers is ungovernable? Peasant farmers have been exploited for pretty much the entire history of humanity!

Ungovernable means civil disobedience, it means sabotage. It does mean building community, but if your community only wants to farm, remember to pay the king after the harvest.

Lol spot on! This is exactly how the current economy is working 🙈

I’d be interested in your take on NymVPN. Governence is still a bit opaque but they do provide a novel way to incentivise operators to join the network.

Perhaps in the future we could see a ride share app powered in this way. Operators and drivers paid by an algorithm based on work done. Funded by users paying with a specific coin. With the interchangeability of cryptocoin it wouldn’t matter if there are competing projects. The governance question still remains though.

Of course you would. I probably would too. It’s life changing money. But the morality of these ‘challenges’ is extremely fucked. And $5k a day is pocket change to Mr Beast who makes $1.6 million a day 🤮

Rich USians want to colonise the middle east.

They donate to the AIPAC which gets pro-Israeli politicians elected who in turn pass legislation to funnel billions of taxpayer money to the state of Israel which then ends up funding the AIPAC even more.

They want the holy land to belong to white people. The Jews and Christians are ganging up on the Muslims because of racism.

The other countries in the area have either bent the knee (Saudi, UAE, Qatar) or have been crushed by the US (Iraq, Syria). Iran is a powerful country so can put up a fight.

The end goal of the war is an expanded Israel with Palestinians forcibly removed. Iran and Hamas want to stop this.

Yes the Esptein files relate to the timeline but this war continues after Trump is gone due to the existence of the AIPAC. A bill has just been passed to essentially combine the US and Israeli militaries ffs.

But the profits of the company are being used to fund that political party. If people cancel their subscription the Mullvad CEO will earn less money and won’t be able to spend as much funding racial segregation. You should vote with your wallet as much as possible.
