So I know what I know and maybe I'm not sure about the above 2 points about Unsplash ... including Getty Images buying them (yup things change and could happen with pixabay too I guess!

This is a big problem with any company THEY CAN BE BOUGHT AND GO DARK-SIDE!

THIS IS ABOUT VOTING & POLLS

Would you appreciate the VOTING in Mastodon to *also* include option **SHOWING** who voted in RESULTS (after to those that voted showing total voted etc AND USERNAME?)...

This idea is for optional group-only or public survey so it could be shown only to those that voted also or perhaps everyone (this would be flexible and up to poll makers).

If you have +'s / -'s / ~'s just reply to this or private DM please.

The idea behind this is about pooling people together - so those with similar tastes / work / mood for doing stuff can see each other and do it (right now or later talk slowly etc and to link across fedi's).

If you can see mutuality and interest from others and actually get stuff done (communication obviously first) then rather than messaging, email copies, hunting each other etc... a more willing show of hands... something a bit safer and knowing what might be more possible by voting / seeing what kind of poll it is / seeing others interested or already doing similar things to them / helping etc.

Please comment / DM anytime... Thank you.

People don't realise mistakes NEED to happen with eyes and ears more open to feedback etc... that's part of the game to make things better. Not this distanced and disconnection stuff...

So in order to learn you need to almost do the opposite and stick around, half-listen a bit more, catch the super important parts that TLDR misses.

(because neither you, me, or situations are ideal or perfect- so what do you expect... and if you expect that say so!). Together we learn AND teach others... that's what I see as working overall - not dismissing everything or only specialising your own little corner.

Even in 100% trust people go for different things naturally from different priority and choice so this all harmonises that and the after-event conversations are really important especially in hindsight so everyone or a small group can see what they could do better next time and what the reality of *feelings* were at the time because it's *always* more a different feeling than at first look. *Always* and naturally with time and feelings coming and going.

This is what the 99% could do do better to train:

TRUST as defence,
TRUST as less fear
TRUST as more justice between the folk
TRUST as social glue
TRUST as self-confidence etc

But it does need you to start AND finish to get the best from this circle... The start is maybe easy but end needs planned time too... to see what grows from that... which is usually more trust, compassion, understanding if not all this then experience and practising humanity (which we all have to do but this is a more intelligent and logical and emotionally expressive way).

So TRUST and go through all the circles - you'll be better for it...

Hi to whoever is reading this /
internet peoples :)

If I can help you........?
If I can help others...?

then let me know!..

Basically circular...to help others help other people...... Everyone eventually (a bit more!)

Picture as a visual example but also over the net we can talk multi-player :)
(text/audio conference ok by me anytime just msg!)

I think some pics like this might be good in your new profile to show what you mean and for a bit of decor to your profile ^_^ and some functional points and imagination how things can work between people or what you're doing... <3

Discrimination type called
"Gerrymandering"

IN SHORT:
"politicians picking their voters instead of voters picking their politicians" - Wayne Dawkins

MORE...
Gerrymandering used often for political manipulation of electoral district boundaries with the intent of creating undue advantage for a party, group, or socio-economic class within the constituency.

Picking boundaries for districts guarantees majorities!
***GENIUS!***

The word is also a verb for the process.

Four tactics are used in gerrymandering:

"cracking" (i.e. diluting the voting power of the opposing party's supporters across many districts)

"packing" (concentrating the opposing party's voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts).

"Hijacking" redraws two districts in such a way as to force two incumbents to run against each other in one district, ensuring that one of them will be eliminated.

"Kidnapping" moves an incumbent's home address into another district. Re-election can become more difficult when the incumbent no longer resides in the district, or possibly faces re-election from a new district with a new voter base.

@9mins Big Business QUOTE

" Big Business is really taking advantage of the vacuums just as we took advantage of those open space and opportunities because that's what humans do- we're opportunist- and when we see a new space and a new territory we like to go and explore it. "

Businesses are being super-predatory

@2.35mins Music and Protest

Vinyl records + Channel of creativity
free parties + pirate radio stations + white labels

purely human with less influence outside of that
and inspiration to create inside of that - less corrupted creativity

- EVERYONE IN THE LOOP giving copies to other creators
- then distributing themselves while setting places to play
- not fighting against each other or selling only
- gets best out of business each other and spreads music
- as much fun as possible collecting all the music and money together for the parties!

Imagination that is fired and actioned through the process of creativity

Funding from vinyl and techno that was new at the time.

Networking and sharing the knowledge and resources.

More about audio - Speaker Mark (a.k.a. Stray Wayward)
****************
Looking back to see how music between people was shared in the #squat or #protest movement, and seemingly music funded the revolution somewhat and it worked (as said by speaker)

Everyone creating and sharing their music themselves (white labels vinyl records) and doing 'business' was more about sharing and maximising the copies, with profit going to everyone and the causes while spreading the message and fun in parties and keeping people towards bigger actions!

(#Music, #Protest, #Parties seemed to work well as Mark the speaker explains)

MORE FULL Transcript about selling music / funding parties:
*************************************************
@2.35mins of edit

With vinyl cost about 80cents to make
Could make an EP 4 track record (everyone cold make a record on vinyl was so cheap, relatively easy to make and swappable)
Swapped record with other underground creators
DJ's could play it and sell for those who asked / at gigs
Everyone would have their equal cut from playing benefits
Everyone becomes an informal 'underground distribution network' and a own 'record shop' for selling or linking to authors (people asking who / what song it is etc)
Everyone has / get best music for dj-ing and parties
Sell records quickly allowed to by equipment (even if it's stolen by police at free parties - just build up and sell again!)

(this was at the boom of music perhaps and with vinyl but the list above has good mentality of 'everyone involved or everyone eventually getting all the best music' no matter which level you're on.

FFWD/Forward The Revolution anthem 3.35mins of edit
**************************************
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=c9FG-WrT8co
Techno Jungle-style track (almost my style) by Spiral Tribe

- sounded like saying "Flowers For Revolution" which I also liked the idea of!..
- American Indian intro and bit of chants in between
- thankfully not too many space pulses in there
- raps in the middle - home-made sound not too underdone - great just to get things out there and not to pver-cook it all and be professional!

Phrase for track
"You might stop the party but you can't stop the future"

Comments from video pages (fun)

- make the prodigy look like softies!!!!!............... very tribal and timeless!
- Blast! Got this on vinyl, original press;) dope! (2021!)
- Was on mixtape "The Free Force of Techno" (Spiral 23)

***********************
Back to Talk / Speaker
***********************
The Track FFWD/Forward The Revolution was...
environmentally based and sensitive for it's time
reached mainstream 66 in charts - not sure what that means but made an impact on people
expression of music was really important
With music benefits were... channel of creativity - more autonomous
back then it was
- free parties / squatting / illegal unlicensed stuff
- pirate radio stations
- white label music (own made / no-label / non-commercial)

Really connected people - purely human without less any kind influence from outside or mainstream and inspiration was inspired to add own creativity inside of that

mainstream tends to get corrupted too quickly or is something else entirely...

unlicensed keep in common with all the forms of music (self-governed / people-funded / less commercial / more for free or illegal use!)

4million for biggest court case in history

Police and intensity in which they want to deal with any autonomous free-space, free-party, squatting...

Kopiwagenplatz Squat / Autonomous space in Berlin, Germany
https://konfront.dk/kopiwagenplatz-is-here-to-stay-damn-it/
(Supposedly 2000 riot police, 2 armoured vehicles to evict)

Police is big business. (Money-making business from evictions?)

Police and Army using too much force.
French companies with government contracts
Explosive grenades supposedly no lethal - TNT 25g and then 14g inside inside... blew off an arm of a young boy at a solstice free party

Neo-liberal, capitalist system corrupt and looking after a very few people - extractive economy
hoarding money in tax havens
and more money in militarisation and crowd control of the people by the police

Everyone has caught up now from old system and digitalised their systems.

9mins of edit - Big Business is really taking advantage of the vacuums, just as we took advantage of those open space and opportunities, because that's what humans do- we're opportunist- and when we see a new space and a new territory we like to go and explore it.

But big difference 30yrs ago and now... they have caught up now from old system and digitalised and now:

all businesses are being super-predatory
the gentrification
and other things like:
patent of molecules
patenting of ideas
copyright

As soon as some idea pops up, there they are with full backing, police, military, legal etc

My question is yeah they are being opportunists in a destruct foolish way
but rather than being reactionary to that
is to pull on our greatest asset and ability think things through
we could actually upgrade and redefine what we mean by revolution
Maybe what needs to happen now is redefining and re-imagining what would be more effective
It's now 30yrs anniversary of FFWD / Forward the revolution of when it was released and we are re-releasing it!

When we had the ability to generate our own vinyl we were able to fund so much
We just have to imagine them and bring our idea into action
I'm still working on cooperation, share-ownership

Lisa (Event Host) also shares these ideas.
