  • As to an answers beyond simply getting-armed-and-fostering-healthy-gun-culture-and-education-among-us:

    “Practicing mutual aid is the surest means for giving each other and to all the greatest safety, the best guarantee of existence and progress, bodily, intellectually and morally.”

    That’s Kropotkin

    And then Modern Libs even observe, more verbosely:

    “The structures of our state economies are going to matter in terms of protecting democracies, and by that I mean if you look at economies that were based in the kind of small producer economies like New England was vs states like the South and the American West that were always built on the idea of very high capital using extractive methods to get resources out of the land either cotton or mining or oil or water or agri business, those economies always depend on a few people with a lot of money, and then a whole bunch of people who are poor and doing the work for those Rich guys – and that I’m not sure is compatible in terms of governance without addressing the reality that you know if people have more of a foothold in their own communities, they are then more likely to support the kinds of legislation that Community [Education, Healthcare, …] and that may be the future of democracy, if not a national democracy”

    If a Conservative wants me dead, they’re going to have to work and sweat for it. I’m not doing the heavy lifting for them (A Quote I agree with)

    MASKING REALLY HELPS; Covid, RSV, Flu is a greater threat to marginalized communities. Can’t do organizing without prioritizing precautions.

    Show up for your neighbors. The rest will come.








  • To build off this, Our current economic system pushes a psychology that if you dont produce some value to some GDP, then you have no right to eat. Who cares if you need nutrition to be any good to anyone else.

    Working to keep your head above ever increasing rent, food prices, along with everything else.

    Well there’s a reason the song goes “Bread and Roses” We need the means to sustain ourselves but the mind like the body needs to be fed to. It’s not enough to just get by: EVERYONE deserves the finer things in life too.

    And until that requirement is met, yes I feel the obligation, as I recognize the irony, to bite the hand that feeds, by the system that affords me the luxury, until everyone has everything they need.

    Anything short of that is just talk by class traitors or those employing them.

    Dont go ceding the game just because theyve moved the overton window so far right. We are only ever reclaiming that which could never be rightly privitazed and extracted from justly in the first place, I say.
