The way they treat entropy reminds me of those creationists that insist thermodynamics disproves evolution. I think this guy took it a step further and thinks evolution proves there must be a ~~god~~ simulated universe.

Fred Hampton spent more time building coalitions then he did calling his own cowardly.

GitHub definitely would and has in the past. YouTube-dl is on GitHub and gets a pass because it is used by researchers and archivists, both are fair use. forgejo.org would let you be your own fedi-github and might be worth checking out (could be easier than designing a plugin system and additional repos).

How do we gum up the works?

Seriously good read on what to do next: https://wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-things-to-do-if-trump-wins/

The fascist power structure is unjust and so it is like an upsidedown pyramid being propped up by pillars: people who do the actual work are the pillars. This pyramid topples when those pillars are removed. This can be a workers' strike in a certain sector (example given was the eastern shoremen refusing to load weapons for a war).

I'm also struck by how the article says to handle fear. We need to act as community and flip the script on their fear tactics.

The author of the article also has an interesting interview with Sam Seder where they talk about more historical examples: https://youtu.be/YLBM2SEL6Rc

Don't blame me, I voted for Dr Eggman.

Those of us who are terminally online should definitely checking sources, but I don't think that is practical for those working two shifts and taking care of a family.

SCOTUS: we stopped caring about being consistent

I see Epstein's friends are getting along just fine without him.

How do you address the material conditions of people who reject addressing the material conditions if it also helps someone who isn’t them.

I think the sort of help you're talking about is of political policy (ie free lunches at schools). I am speaking of direct action by volunteers (ie running a community pantry). When you engage in the community, conversations happen and that is when you can challenge biases in a non-confrontational setting.

If you cannot find solidarity in the masses then what is it you're looking for? A Vanguard party to reeducate the masses?

Nah, this is why citizens need guns. If a good guy with a gun was there then the body count would have been much lower. The car incident is why we should also give people their own personal shoulder mounted RPG.
