… after off work follows

Oh I see

How often did ruling actors of any historic social constellation give up ruling by themselves?

May it be - just spontaneous thoughts here - that those beeing ruled over have to do the emancipation?

Means.tv has a weekly good news thing. Check it out!

Can’t tell if you’re joking or ate the anti-communism-propaganda a donald trump would feed you with

I don’t know which one is actually worse.

A nostalgia themed glamourizing of brutality right next to “unwanted people”. No explanation of how those two things connect, so all that stays is the association.

Kind of on a neuro-marketing like level of discours (just strenghtening your associations by creating emotions or atmosphere) he is mobilizing violence against immigrants. (And normalizing violence as a means of governing in general)

I don’t know of a starter guide. I guess because it depends a lot on where you live and what kind of activism/political work goes with your opinion and, well, your life.

I guess the common approaches to increase one’s political agency are

• tumble into/ join a social movement This can be almost anything. Eco stuff, feminism, labour, city planning, community solidarity networks, antifa, antira, whatever floats your boat kind of.
• having a job and getting in touch with your union
• being a nerd, have a lot more theory going on then praxis so you search for groups matching your specific opinion

Basically no matter wich one it is, from there on you will meet people, meet ideas, discuss, get (even) more specific ideas of who is doing what and why and if you agree. Orientation comes with praxis, as in all fields I guess.

Maybe 2 starter guide like points:

1. Don’t go apocalypse mode. Yes, shit is hitting the fan more aggressively every minute and it’s beyond reason, empathy, humanity. Still, changing social order is a long term project. Make it sustainable, don’t burn out.
2. Get started. All that dooomscrolling, theorizing, accumulating frustration, anger, fear without any praxis just makes you either depressive or indifferent. All thinking no doing doesn’t work. Having people around you that aknowlede the problems you see and fight on your side makes all the difference.

• you may choose your form of epic. “Fighting” might sound weird to you. “I’m a revolutionary” sounds weird to me. Transforming society as good as you can without becoming unhappy af is what counts. The Zapatistas say “preguntando caminamos” - “asking we walk” or “proceeding while questioning”. I think thats a good epic and the best advice a have for you.

See you in the streets ;)

Just get organized and fight without leaving anyone :)

Yeah lets get some social science running in this b**** Ü Perspective this techie fest (<3) could use some of
