@mjambon Interesting and more the kind of expression of feelings I think useful to hear.

Then possibility towards practicalising (or better word) those feelings, so it's not only about wrong or right between people but helping / holding each other towards doing eventually or even immediately (doing as sort of middle / in-between / bridge to the wrong right thing...

Naturally can be challenging to do something but I think it's the best way of learning, testing and answering ourself / ourselves,
merging between what we all want as "I want" (peer to peer) and "you / they want" (many to many).

To avoiding it being too deep in real example the "I want..." here in general for me is many things I'll list off just to get general idea:

- "For people to practise expression

- "to get ourselves better at practising as a direct result or indirect result of seeing / hearing others more"

- "more compassionate or non-destructive space to practice"

- "not too theoretical either, challenge yourself to testing the suggestions people make"

- etc

Anyway I see us as one humanity or one species (hope I'm right!) while having and holding different cards I think we can come together and have fun.

--------------------------------------------
OK on to my suggestion... even in theory just to see what you think:
--------------------------------------------

Think about what you would record in a 1min audio (or 2mins)... an audio to share with Fediverse-only people to really reach their soul or get practical interest.

I send out sound bites from people on a Fediverse-only podcast, both as soft advertising for themselves and enjoyment to others to get us all interested in each other mutually on the Fediverse in a super quick 1min thing. So what would you say or want to ask from others and suggest how they could do that with you...

Say something about what you / we like or love... and I just make a quick intro to match that and simply link to your profile and send out...

Here are previous podcast examples (~2mins each, 1min standard intro):

1 The Little Prince book - The author's experience writing it.

3 Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI

Let me know what you think overall from the perspective of what you think for yourself could be possible and happy to take feedback for the 3 examples above.

Thanks :)

@mjambon Totally fair play with that, and appreciate it. If you want say a bit more on how it's been with audience or feedback here, constructive? creative?

And maybe what you're looking for is interesting overall... don't mind it longer than short as it's a bit of a general question. Thanks

@mjambon Would this be a kind of randomisation of whatever content you have or input. It could so relative parts and relative sections but for more part a shuffled deck of cards / content?

@mjambon I like this. I do think the end is inflammatory but not going to try rob you of expressing that where I might encourage a few pegs lower if you want the preceding part to stand out than a fuck you emotional thing... because *exactly* for those less able (almost disabled) the emotional or more personal is what people might take up and naturally as humans can use as fire rather than seeing understanding... so depending on which way you intended (sarcasm of posting or genuineness or indeed mix) you could encourage people by not fucking of or indeed fucking you (as a natural reaction to being told to fuck off and simply coming back for more)... but does work somewhat to warn people so this might be fine tuning more than anything major... but if you are more friendly then you could show it :D Good stuff overall from looking on your side... :thumbsup_hmn_g1:

@strypey
So you get what I mean and I'm sort of pointing to very natural human things - so by asking you (and I would like an answer as think it's healthy to review quickly) I think we all understand more why and I think it's almost forgiveable, like playing games or fulfilling boredom of the time.., and imagining other people were just doing the same as us killing people in soldier games prevalant everywhere (honestly I see it's very much the same, as people have to spend time somehow and to get something... and well they didn't have other games.

And then early days are what built the now which is what we can play now- which I believe is a type of war or funding (graphics so we also are built on war, though seems softer).

I guess the quote pasted represents trying to say civilisation wasn't always the same or so brutal, and was other things... but blood is decidedly part of it, if not almost all of it.

Not claiming anything but coming back to your original feeling and question - we are all still learning... and warring... even the good people when you scratch their surface / aesthetics...

@Ohsin Hi, try using advert-free links filtered by Invidious instead, and save us from the Googlismus and the tracking of it's child YouTube.com :)

Thanks

@AlexanderKingsbury @anubis2814 Without ping-ponging too much about it, I think there's a difference between not having / not owning and things just not being mandatory / existing money paid out (the opposite or insurance almost where Gov bends back to give back what they arguably have spending it on other less-needed things).

But yes not yes is all mandatory in that way that if you don't have.

Could you try using Invidious links that filter adverts?

Or just tell me no! It's ok won't bug you :)

@AlexanderKingsbury @anubis2814 I didn't mind the listing of things even in repeated sentences of;
car insurance. health insurance, home insurance etc

To pay for everything and pay government on top I guess
except when TOO BROKE / CAN'T PAY / NOT WORTH CHASING FOR / TOO POOR TO PAY and even then it's a battle not to do some things made 'legal' (which is mostly just a business of state piggy-backing the 'good' (that other people see) for more piggy-backing by others (for more profit and power))... otherwise what's the point of life?! :P

@strypey I like the line of the posts, great stuff...

And then for me, trying to balance out the sort of potential reality in where our attempting something is surely of value but at the same time it's sure taking from us immediately by being in very well-defined boxes and highly-calculated methods and matrices, perfected over time (it's perfect enough Matrix to not leave much for us to work with) and so we're a bit more fed but tired like soldiers, and as 'job' we can be also on red-line / deadly burn-out if doing much more than work / sleep (as that's been evolve design pushed to limits / raising the bar if found to be easy).

And then on top just everything else getting more expensive extra-ordinarily (houses x4 in a few years, x10, xNaN) showing how money is not how we're going to win even in solidarity (where if I'm honest it is alleviating suffering of people but not existing in first place / not paying for being cramp and competitive by nature of living in damaging and destruct world is kind of the real answer. I guess something might happen by delaying our life at a bigger cost... but I think even in best case the torture and pumping of enemy's pot is like 150% won since it's so superficial and all highly in their court). We sort of existed / were born from THEIR experiment (child benefit to boost population and then reduced) and naturally all protest I've come across involves undoing that but inversely withdrawing labour, cancelling membership, taking from oneself instead of others, starving, de-registering etc all of which is very hard on one's soul / physicality)

and so... well a million other deliberate things like law, rules etc that actually prey's on people living badly- now that's terrible - I say give people the option of bullet as many are looking for a way to do it I'm sure...

So I'm leaning on my side simply with these thoughts and wanted to see if you have extra thoughts about it... if it's really accepted that there isn't many jobs actually allowing or enabling people to feel good lol or something like that to have space to breath and instead 'maximising' a kind of hell-bent 'efficiency'. All at the cost of human improvement or even good day-to-day quality time between people.

█ Moving on from that overall equation (!):

You said:
"I know a lot of people who subvert ordinary day jobs by turning them into a form of covert activism. I also believe it's possible to build a solidarity economy in the shell of the exploitation economy, that can pay people to serve the common good instead of capitalism."

...so I'd like to know what kind of solidarity economy you mean - I'm guessing in the list below (just to help you a bit) you might mean a typical:
small club membership / dinner / dance / fundraiser / picnic / film night / benefit thing....?...

...which I would agree works but needs a lot more mind work itself almost blind acceptance with less internal distance. I'm not sure 'normal' and 'alt' people are even familiar with this kind of 1 family type outlook to win it all, other than occasional workshop or mini-group thing... which seems is a kind of mirror that even the good people show they prefer distance or can't handle being close to others...

I also find it hard to see how, almost physically, once you're in a job and having signed contract, a sense of duty or comfort or many things doesn't happen that Sam Buchanan quote and you mention / hint to just being on the sidelines / protests that are purely a kind of theatre unless they use it as a cover to break in somewhere strategic.

I think physically true much like when I needed a place to stay, then I needed to be in the squatting scene and actually doing / caring about it - otherwise if I'm renting now it's almost totally not on my mind... or I might write about it occasionally... and yeah just cheering from sideline in general for many things.

Maybe I'll cap it off there... was nice writing it but long perhaps (as usual for these things)

OPTIONAL MORE OR TAKE A BREAK SO YOU DON'T THROW SOMETHING IN THE ROOM AT ME!

---------------------------------------
For example as a really real solution:
---------------------------------------

I'd consider it activism if they, the richer activist or just better off, invited a lot more people in their house... reducing overall rent... but that kind of activism is tough and full of pot-holes perhaps...

So overall I might agree with the bit Sam writes that I too (perhaps) don't see much else and that there's not even much to do but make sure some benefits go smoothly with 5 people to pour a few beers or serve plates... and even that sometimes too many and needs more levels of mentally strategic roles for people to actually allow people to do more somehow.

Honestly for the answer this advancing of mental work is key for me just to stay friends with each other *more than just learn about the past or raise funds for next crisis* (which I do think is worthy).

The cafe or centre with core people running the show need to spend more time to figure absolutely everything out and constantly challenge themselves with others instead of the same things either complained about or falling into paying rent themselves as a losing fire-fight if brutally looking at money paid out by club premises and also progress in areas... although dearly I'd not get rid of them... but financially and even sharingly I'm not sure about them...

Take what you can from that (doesn't have to be all in reply)
