They’ve been ‘warned to stop’ & shot at
But Dutch Farmers are brave & Public supports them
Now also German Italian Spanish Polish Farmers
Like Canadian Truckers hardly any press
But we know power is when all stand together against impositions

All technological improvement under such templates and regimes are MORE than a just a potentially bad combination. You just can't see it yet or haven't already, but they will consistently find a way to fuck things further despite your good intentions / inventions. Sorry STEM.
The middle finger isn't for STEM, it's for people who are inclined to sit on it willingly and even enjoy, as well as those who think their creations can't or won't be used against them and never imagine it could give them the finger in return. It's by design. Which is the best genuine compliment I can give to STEM.
My point is we've gone too far in many things and no need for more of that.
I reserve the right to amend this slightly.
Donations and Paying is best using what in your opinion?...
I wrote these main one's as option but others welcome in comments...
...Monero seems even more amazing (if you have to accept "it's a good way NOT debate it" even compared to Bitcoin's positive or idealistic points...
(Monero info video below for EXACTLY WHY)
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=QrHsFZBab4U
These donations options can be seen here for example https://invidious.io/donate/
(so for this poll we're just taking THE BEST OF WHAT EXISTS regardless of negatives, just the least negative is which of these or is there some other? Thanks)
Bitcoin (BTC) ? Monero XMR) ? Ethereum (ETH) ? Litecoin (LTC) ?
Check out Monero here - seems a dream (smart comments welcome but did tick A LOT of boxes)
Looking for a population to educate - PEOPLE that will entertain change...
Without providing opportunity even to let me try... seems none of this make sense more than being a business... not your fault or mine but has to be a better way...
I am to find it without making business out of it / you.
Please boost to reach more people so FreeSchool and the imagination of freedom can continue and otherwise not die with 0 people giving it a chance!

@erincandescent There's a path towards hardware keys the design and manufacture of which can be open, audited, the manufacturer held accountable, but the *user* has the choice to upload the key, but the key can't be, in theory, pulled off the device.
There's a GIANT security difference between the world where you trust someone to make the device and the world where you trust someone to make the device AND the keys!
Best ecologically-minded logo I've ever seen (see picture) about nature.
Practical and nature-related parts are covered well by smaller graphics for mini-education.
Relative to all things in life and good to remember how to measure it.

Scary how quickly Compounding Numbers / Doubling get out of hand behind your back...
People don't realise the added effects / snowball for
- loans even @ 5%
- depreciation
- mortgages
- wear and tear
Basically any number based on time increase also is crazy compounding number crisis is is is is is is IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS
Being prepared to die for what you believe in... putting your life at stake if you believe in something enough... (analysis from Hagakure)
Artificial intelligence and Automation leads to a reduction of human practitioners....
Just a few very quick observations (FEEL FREE TO WRITE BETTER EQUATION of it)
Artificial intelligence and Automation leads to a reduction of human practitioners and caring.
Human extinction perhaps but before that simply more and more mono-culture like processes as they get more mechanised in all other things adding more of everything non-human.
Existing practitioners and artists are already arguably starving for their work purely because a machine or anything similar can do it faster, digitally etc etc and at the end other humans may not care if a human did it by hand or machine... (so it's not that AI or machines are necessarily bad because any system (managed by humans) that seeks to keep people alive as mechanically as possible will find this likely the problem!).
People talk about machines as if they are alone. not replacing people by managers and installer who KNOW 5 people will be laid off as this and this and this process is done by the machine.
It's natural but then also naturally (humanly) needs balancing to say "yeah we could do it like that but then it would be only you here checking a monitor and pushing buttons and that would be boring / not a job any more and even that would be replaced so we're all doomed that way"
The other way to look at it is that we shouldn't have attachment to living by how easy or hard things are - so if life becomes so easy we can work only 20hrs a week SO BE IT... but he attached social and governmental control wouldn't want that as it's relative to wanting people to pay all the time even if we could do things better. Sad paradox or conflict of interests BETWEEN REAL WORKING AND CIVILISATION and EXTRACTING PEOPLE FOR MONEY AS HARD AS MUCH POSSIBLE (differing 'efficiencies' and meaning come into play)
Automation is 'taking care' of human work while other humans are not taking care of humans (just automating tasks and coldly processing things and people).
Automation and AI seems to do what human used to be able to do (took longer but still more human) or couldn't do completely (life oversized things)... but it is the uncaring residue of all these machines or more-mechanical processes which reduces down further the job type and appreciate for human diversity (by humans and for humans!)
Being automated or managed by superior processors and attached artificial intelligence.
I would hope they keep us alive as pets because needing to find work when actually we need not!
blah blah right! Will improve it better (FEEL FREE TO WRITE BETTER EQUATION)
From seeing influx of clever people and being aware how they can be used in terms of 'job', I wonder if 'they' the new clever will do exactly the same planned for them and leverage those under them under the name of money / rules or whatever education allows them...
So once they have access to 'respect' that they 'earned' by becoming superior are they just going to get authority and do the same once they can?
Wow I think I phrases that perfectly... I'll re-read after when it's fresh again....
Left over parts:
Once people get money for their brains and otherwise would be disrespected / not acknowledged / sub-normal people etc... I wonder if they will do exactly the same as many sub-cultures (like richer immigrant (just to make it clearer) who just make a new middle layer of landlord and push prices up like existing layers of landlords)
When talking about solutions - if it's more about money or fear then you know it's not really much change or going to feed the wrong things.
I tried to speak to religious people and they always end up saying "But you need money" which has it's truth but put the designed problem first without trying to really solve it. So dealing with reality is one thing but feeding it is another if you don't have sight past the might $ (or whatever dominant currency rules you). If you're not looking past that "money rules" or "money put food on my table" then you know the person's religion is more money or just never risking more towards their God (or perhaps it's one and the same that Man and Money has lead them to God or as God itself etc etc ... could be not trying to claim all reasons / exits).
I want to be sensitive to religious people but bless them, often waaaaay too defensive / submissive / sheepish while everything around gets prostituted / under money (including churches in the end).
Bring back Jesus with the whip I say!
redrafted so comments were going to be deleted and copied and pasted below:
@gabriel said:
" The more you work within the system the more you need money.
The more you work outside of it the less you need it. "
(can revise again anytime without comment too but might be best stuck here as I might revise again!)
I don't like people expecting others to 'get the message' from not saying things at all or expect you to be a might reader by INFERRING things and emphasising one thing or another... I like for people to say no I have prejudices against you and don't like you... and even explain because xyz!.... but that I think is why they don't and that is weak... and unconstructive and many things that anyway in the end they might end up saying but with even more emotion...
My tip- say it earlier, like drawing a trajectory if you check it earlier then you're not so off or going into another tangent.
ADD PICTURE OF CHECKING TANGENTIAL LINE LATER!
Job is for taking your energy and
paying your taxes for profit to Government, while it does bad work (all around the world it's the same)
Government 'giving' jobs for getting tax essentially and through companies as it's sub-contractors / subsidiaries / members it's agani in order to get even more % back as tax or rent or whatever it is to the geographic landlords and all those under it paying for the pleasure of what could be free if they weren't so insistent in making people pay so hard and getting their respect in that way.
It's not only money, it's not only technical. It's people not making time and space for talking properly (not just in passing etc).
Instead doing the back-talking or pretending to face with others or more public stuff that only feeds others not the individuals. Peopel need to take proper care of whatever the feelings are.
It takes courage to make space (arrange a time) and talk. People feel trapped and the adrenalin... but that is actually what is needed more than long way around with random people.
It's much clearer when living or dying is in front of you directly at hands of your oppressor(s)... the middle way through middle-people is a harder barrier to see as those that stand oppress stand behind middle-people or put them in front while we argue it out amongst ourselves and they don't have to answer to almost anything as they pay others to form that buffer around them and even pay others who need it to stay alive... even at moral cost.
This loop needs some kind of reset / way out.
It's not enough to say "it's my job" when jobs are set to oppress also like a domino pushed from the top (including passive aggressive job or financially cheating others in an already cheating system cheating people higher as it goes down the hierarchy/payment pyramid like some kind of gangster protection program that doesn't protect much!
We have to get out of that!
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).
Podcast Examples:

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
