Really cool and interesting video!
I also thought the Fermi Paradox was kind of weirdly colonial.
Hell I don’t even think we should be fucking with the Moon.

Russian repression is so fucked up
In a way, the job of a teacher or journalist is to filter useful and/or relevant information for interested parties.

I don’t disagree with your point in general, but this doesn’t make much sense:
If people suffer from the collapse of harmful machinery, it is the fault of the machinery.
No one would have collapsed it if it was not harmful.
A lot of people depend on machines to stay alive, machines that do produce harmful impacts around the world (that may or may not be possible to reduce), like advanced medical equipment that is dependent on semiconductors.
As a disabled person myself, I prefer if no one has to die.
I have not read the entire PDF, but it seems to be at best a new version of the Zeitgeist Movement with more anarchist flavor, and at worse a pyramid scheme disguising itself as the former.
There simply isn’t a good reason to use crypto for this kind of project, except if you want to make ir look technically advanced. I tend to be very skeptical if this.
Although, I hope I’m proven wrong.
Well, for starters, MPL wasn’t anarchist-inspired, it’s a coalition movement. Saying it’s anarchistic would be like saying Pride is anarchistic due to the lack of a single formal leadership.
I’ve been in anarchist circles for years, and never, ever saw anyone mention the book “Change the World Without Taking Power”. Most anarchists here are more inspired by older, classical works. I myself tend to critique them for not reading anything after 1950s.
And he must be referring to anarchists here when he talks about horizontalists, because the other political organizations in MPL are MLs, trotskyists, and maoists. What’s insane is that the vast majority of the Brazilian radical left is marxist leninist and pretty much allergic to horizontalism. The reason they build coalitions is because they are in most cases weak and small, not a lack of authority.
As a Brazilian, I can tell this guy is full of shit and doesn’t understand what happened here in 2013.
I recommend trying to reach put to large organizations that align with your interests in this case.
Especifismo: black rose anarchist federation
Radical unionism: Industrial Workers of the World
Both of those orgs will be able to help a lot more than we can, if you want to build something aligned to them. Building different organizations take different approaches, and they can share their experiences and strategies that are more likely to succeed.
I’m not from the US, so I don’t know many more organizations. But the principle stays the same: you want to build a mutual aid network, try talking with people already working on those, even if they aren’t from the same place.
Now, as to what exactly amongst each of those you should do, I think only you can answer. My approach is that the best thing is something that touches you (be either in your heart, your body or your wallet). So basically, what do you feel like doing?
I wish you the best of luck, comrade :)
That’s my exact gut reaction. I read four or five paragraphs and was like “that’s enough brain poison for me”, and generally I’m into it.
The first is what thinking on what kind of organization do you want to be a part of. Do you want to fight for labor rights in a union? Do you want an affinity group? Or maybe do you want to join a broad coalition of environmental defense. Or maybe a large anarchist platform.
Those are all different and will have different advantage and issues. There isn’t one right way of doing anarchism.
The other thing is, you mentioned there’s only a local DSA in there. Are you sure? Where is the chapter currently working? And more importantly, which movements are they working with? Knowing that might shed some light into other organizations or at least social movements.
The vaccine does not stop covid
It does.
It does not make you immune
Not to all strains, and not completely.
it does not stop you from spreading covid
It does, by reducing symptoms like cough, which spreads the virus in the air, and by lowering your chances of having it on the first place.
and you will have to get another dose after about 3 months
I haven’t checked this one, but even if true, it’s a small price to pay to not having my friends and loved ones dying.
And then there are possible adverse effects like myocarditis, especially for young men. All this should be considered.
Which are extremely unlikely to happen in comparison to dying of covid.
There are other ways to strengthen your immune system. They should be considered too.
There isn’t s way to strengthen your immune system, because it doesn’t work that way. You either have a healthy immune system or you are immunocompromised, which may happen when you are particularly fucking up your body with drugs, going through rapid environment changes or suffering with AIDS.
People with a immune system that is too strong (that is, more aggressive and more wasteful of body resources) actually tend to develop auto immune diseases.
Most people that have died due to covid have been severely ill, morbidly obese or very old.
Yeah. And they still deserved to fucking live.
Eating healthy, getting enough exercise and making sure Vitamin D levels are sufficient will make covid much less dangerous. I much prefer that to constantly getting new boosters.
Those are indeed good practices that will lead to a healthier life, and may affect your chances with covid (especially exercise if it’s cardio).
However, COVID doesn’t care. Being healthier mostly means that you can take a bit more physical damage on average than other people while your immune system tries to fight the infection. It will still fuck you up and possibly cause permanent damage.
Oh, and if you have bad genetics, got wet from the rain in a cold environment, or is just way too stressed out from work? Your chances are pulled down just as much.
And if these tanks are 50 times more “efficient” than a normal tree, how much more expensive is manufacturing and maintaining them than planting and watering a tree is?
That’s without mentioning the resources invested into building those oxigen farms. The fact that this is done on a rich country already tells a lot. Solar panels aren’t made with love and care, but minerals extracted from the earth.
Also, our problem isn’t lack of O2 or excessive CO2. Our problem is a series of ideas and decisions we make about how we treat the world we’re a part of. One of those ideas, is precisely efficiency above all other things. It’s the same idea that makes market speculators fall in love with “line goes up”. She even makes a point of saying how much more efficient than trees those are.
Sure, those are efficient in making the air safer for humans, but do they help with other local biodiversity? Do they help fixing the soil? Do they help the global ecosystem as a whole?
The details I do know, based on Instagram posts from both CNT Barcelona and their opposition, is that:
I think aiming for extinction is shortsighted and puts a lot of blame on humanity as a whole for the wrongs of colonialism.
But reducing our population, especially in countries with a larger carbon footprint (and not in developing countries as eco fascists would prefer) is a worthy goal.
