And you sound like a bigot who feels personally attacked and is getting defensive.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the only hand that matters - ableists get blocked and reported.

I don't know, don't think it matters, just substitute delete for block and it works.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you scroll down a little there is

What if you cannot attend? There are plenty of valid reasons why you may be unable to attend a protest or other direct action — but don’t worry! You can still contribute to the safety of your comrades in the streets. Check out the Staying Home Guide for other ways you can show up in solidarity with The Uprising.

Nowhere is it even implied that community on its own will stop capitalism, but without it you will achieve no meaningful change.

Like, who the fuck do you think you're going to be toppling the government and doing socialism with? How the fuck do you think you get people today to understand the value of doing that? How do you gather enough human mass to enact it?

I'm all for a violent abolition of our existing establishments, but this hostility that seems to be coming out of people towards the mere suggestion of the importance of community building is really odd..

You will never get anywhere without a community.

I would whole heartedly agree. It is the core we must build from.

That's a lot of words to say "I see no value in community" (which is all the post is suggesting, what you get defensive about and why is for you to resolve with yourself)

Edit, because obviously this isn't clear to some: without a community, and alternative communal structures to fall back on, the current structures can not be abolished and a revolution will never be successful.

Came across this site while looking for the manual for the robot dogs now patrolling trump's place, looks like a great source of helpful info.

ID: A poster in 3 segments, 2 at the top and one bellow:

  1. The text "if we wait for the government it will be too late" above a drawing of 4 people meeting in an airconditioned building. One is Grey and is smiling and showing love to the others, saying "I love you guys!". The 3 others are red, who is smoking a cigar, green holding a bag of cash, and yellow wearing a top hat represent gas oil and coal respectively.

  2. The text "if we act as individuals it will be too little" above a drawing of a person in a small but flourishing garden, they are holding up an apple they got from one of their trees, saying " Such... beauty!" with sparkly eyes. Beyond their fence to the left is an incoming tsunami, to the right are a field and trees on fire with bellowing smoke.

  3. The text "if we act as communities it might just be enough" above a drawing of several groups of people outside. From left to right, there are 3 people standing around a produce table that has a sign above it saying "crop swap on today!", next to it is a small cabinet marked "seed library". On the ground in the centre foreground are an adult and 3 children sitting around a campfire, the kids listening intently, the adult has the Australian Aboriginal flag on their shirt. Behind them are an adult and child getting a pizza out of an outdoor oven. To the right is a stall with a sign above it saying "refugees welcome", in front of it are two adults, one is wearing a head scarf and is holding a baby. In front of the stall are 4 rows of crops growing from the ground.

It actually was precisely the plan - conspiracy theories are sown by the establishment to deflect from itself and shift blame elsewhere, so they can get away with whatever they want to and still maintain power.

Qanon was about deflecting "the most rich and powerful in society get away with trafficking, rape, and murder" to "liberals get away with trafficking, rape, and murder". In the same way that "the economy is controlled by a small group of rich and powerful capitalists" is deflected to "the economy is controlled by Jews", and "abusive men in positions of power groom children" to "drag queens groom children".

It's one way to manufacture consent, and it works.

Exactly. Virtue signalling for a month a year with some rainbow capitalism is generally enough to convince most liberals that they're "good guys", they have absolutely no reason to show support for a group they couldn't give two fucks about beyond that.

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

They're not scared, they just don't give a fuck, never have, never will, don't let them convince you otherwise.

I want to see trans people get old and go grey.

I want to see trans people retire.

I want to see T4T couples celebrating 50 years together.

I want to see trans grandparents and great grandparents.

I want to see trans people live long, happy lives.

Space rule (sh.itjust.works)

ID: An outline of a fat person with long flowing wild hair, they're in a graceful pose that looks like they might be dancing, with their arms spread out and one leg in front of the other. The outline is filled with a starry galaxy like pattern, made to look like it's glowing on the blue-purple background. On the torso are the words "take up space"

Instead of "How are You?" try these Dystopia-Friendly alternatives:

  • I see you're awake, my condolences

  • I hope you have some strong coffee

  • I can't wait for the aliens to invade the earth

  • You need to find a seamstress for your raiding party

  • Did any of your crops survive the heatwave?

  • I sure hope this reality is just a simulation

This one comes with an exception, to paraphrase: you can't be welcoming to everyone, because letting certain people in is inherently harmful to others. See the paradox of tolerance and social contract theory
