"It's time for a repeat in Canada ... but this time not just truckers, although they should lead & bring up the rear ... but also TENS OF THOUSANDS of every day Canadians in cars, trucks, buses, you name it. Is your country worth saving? You better act soon."

SHORT POST ABOUT LONG POSTS
Basically the short version is
People will tend to ignore long posts (for various reasons). Sometimes chicken, sometimes overvaluing their time in constant TL;DR mode.
________________________________
LONGER PART ABOUT LONG POSTS
But at same time they might answer short posts with yes no answers never realising how question they have been ask might mean thing differently or answers without checking become cheaper the shorter the discussion is... what isn't discussion is often just authority or ultimatum or avoidance, fear, etc... unless you both know what you are talking about they you might miss points but seem to get the answers.
That's why sometimes you have to ask and work through it (together!). Humanity is not a simple one way only thing and practising also helps others (so no use if you are just goo by yourself or 1 or two people, you'd still have to mingle).
But the short answers *seem* to answer it but don't answer it if it needs depth or is relative in other ways.
"We now need a favourable single market for non-profit organisations – because we already have a very vibrant single market for harmful practices in democracy and civil society space."
- @martapardavi at twitter
I though this highlights efficiency is not everything and often people miss the point of doing things non-numbers based.
Oh yeah I found another word perhaps semantics (relating to the meaning) but sounds like negative thing to me like pedantic (trivial because of narrow focus maybe)
I got the idea for the word from this post (and text right after)

I did not practice in English for years.
So I do not "feel" this language any more. When I wanna say something, I do direct translation from Russian into English.
With Russian phrase semantic, Russian ideomatic phrases and even proverbs.
Need to go deeper into English-speaking surround.

QUOTE about TRUTH / LIES
"True things make more sense the more you learn about them, false things make less sense the more you learn about them. Not learning more about things is not an option."

Hi @abid is that feed thing still working, see https://mastodon.online/@fedipress/108627769037656297
BIT OF A COMPLIMENT TO SHITPOSTERS:
Perhaps I should say some disclaimer to normal people !
Shitposters said here in kind way and non-patronising because they exist with some great:
- truth
- creativity
- entertainment
- even education
I will have to back myself up on each of those (will link it as I go or as I redraft this) but I've enjoy lots of content is what I'm saying !
They are what might be the average person let loose on drugs that lower inhibitions and allow access to speak processor!!! (compared to the rest that maybe don't talk much at all or play it too safe... unless it's computer programming arguments)
AVERAGE PEOPLE SUCK!.... ?
(is that what I'm also saying, well nah. and yes... as we don't have the final ways in understanding life or each other and I never like those that can keep it in)
It's accelerated and in a appreciable way IF you are looking with eyes that can do so and you have yoru own line nobody can bump you off. Perhaps having a taste for lots of things helps as you can move on easy.
I'll put some examples as I go and re-redraft this perhaps.
THE REST IS EXTRA / OPTIONAL BELOW
__________________________________
The entertainment also seems more edgy and therefore a bigger hit and better point ***WHEN*** it is truth beyond doubt or what I experienced in society or whatever... The idea is not to use what they use against anyone or support what it represents but like a video of dancing disabled kid it's kinda a good combination / artistic.
So yeah they spill the beans well. Pick and choose thereafter as with everyone (unless they boring and sterile like cardboard!)
OK SO... if you can't fly through profiles easily then this isn't your thing.
For those who can it's uplifting and interesting- eye opening like the rotten.com pictures were showing dead body parts and real wounds - that was anatomically INTERESTING and educational!
Other people are frankly dead so well done anyone who isn't (shitposter label or not)
Being monotone doesn't bode well for me.
I guess using mediums differently is true here but if people act online a bit like they do in real life then often I might take the wildcard a bit more and always friend NOT STUCK IN A GROOVE were best to shoot the shit with or watch in amazing awe (and occasionally leave when it go too much !).
Anyway appreciate what you can I say...
THE REST IS AGAIN NOT NEEDED
PRAISE TO ALL...
_____________________
LET'S SHARE SOME EXAMPLES TO EB A BIT SPECIFIC
- The music output they share around and mashup video combinations have often caught me off guard thinking one or two of these people have the HOLY GRAIL OF BEST-OLD-SCHOOL VIDEOS... so it seems not the usual and are so great sometimes between my usual serious stuff...
which I guess also works BECAUSE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN PEOPLE IS IMPORTANT (DARE I SAY DIVERSE!?)
OH SHIT RED PILL MYSELF
OKok without offending normal people (lol), the normies+drug analogy seems to be best I have for being off the chain and perhaps shitting it all out the content for those like can filter and measurably think they find treasure... LOL!
(I also don't look that often elsewhere so it's a welcome change...)
Stuff like this:
https://leafposter.club/objects/905a32a7-16d2-4d14-9183-077e96ffde18
A dancing + drum and bass audio clip
(looks like a Down syndrome person) but I like the video
https://leafposter.club/objects/28989222-6eb9-49cb-ab36-3f99a8b0bf47
Fast slideshow with drum and bass music I like - perfect!
_________________________
OK I WROTE A LOT BUT THE OUTPUT and MAYBE PSYCHOLOGY IS INTERESTING
I'm not even sure shitposters is the right term but if you've ever spent time with racist person that likes drinking more than anything and can enjoy a drink with others... then you'll know this feeling free and truth comes out in shockingly beautiful ways... if you stop taking offense and take notice of the other things more.
This makes shitposters or the unleashed average person much more unique and talented in my opinion and you can tangibly see it in their content... their 1 thing that stands is pretty awesome / thoughtful at times!
Not all of it but beggers can't be choosers in a world almost stiffed people I suppose - that also doesn't reflect well on the 'normal' that can be a bit too safe on the other side of the spectrum(s)
I still don't hold things against someone when they provide some kind of value without me needing to use or extract from them... usually in creative, polar, probably nearer to what the average person thinks... so why not online I ask myself... let them have some cake I say!
ARE WE IN MODERN FASCISM ?
Just wanted to see how far wrong I am with a definition I came up with below.
SO COULD FASCISM BE generally...
1 IGNORING PEOPLE'S THOUGHT/FEELINGS
2 HAVING AUTHORITY AND USING FOR OPPOSITE SELF-GAINS FOR MORE AUTHORITY AND POWER (State/Gov)
3 FINANCIAL EXTRACTION BASED (SEEING PEOPLE AS NUMBERS MOSTLY IN ORDER TO FINANCIAL REAP & ABUSE THEM)
(just by let me know how far out the above ingredients are towards the equation and overall label....
JOB DEFINITION AND ANY FREEDOMS WITHIN IT
+ TRY GIVE ME A PROPER JOB !
Individuals need to give each other tasks and activity. These tasks and activities don't always need to fall under the 'job' category as that groups more things and people that problematic and not sharing same alignment. The innocent individual work and motives aer transformed under a new banner.
'Jobs' are more refined and honed BUT mix badly these VERY problematic things:
- they are part of government design and evolution towards making money (for themselves not us)
- companies as their extensions are regulated entities so can hardly do good out of the above construct / terms and conditions / membership to make profit only / mostly.
- 'Efficiency' towards profit cuts out useful human considerations (we need more than money as humans and can't really buy care)
- The ethics in exchange for profit is wring(which also doesn't really help people live in comfort at the end when anyway price manipulation happens)
SUMMARY
-A lot of thing answered by jobs is also hijacking it.
-We want to provide a service or art to others (OK we are ants in a colony no probs),
- We want to reproduce, make stuff... etc etc etc
but if life is all taken from beginning the way it is now, that's suffocation of any good ideas... and put under a heavy burden working for money and therefore under a wrong system or exchange with no debate, not much consent, less ethics, authoritarian based, making weapons, creating debt etc etc
Any good is stomped on or dirtied very quickly after being performed.
Subject people to negative maths or uncaring ways is a kind of authoritarian Nazism -we don't care and you must pay for your oppression or other people's oppression.
Summary / i,e
'A GOOD JOB' doesn't exist if all these things grouped in to the umbrella definition nullify or take control of it's component parts in a bad way.... like a hospital but is leaking into fat cat profits all the hard work (and energy) or the mass... that's a death of those people working and wasting it paying people to get rich through hospital cover-up... it's just everywhere the same.
NOT SO LONG AGO
The old gen are slave-master / pirate types of the old world merging into today's world with newer techniques and technology! lol
Queen bless her, is just a kid that inherited a country (kinda).... it's all bullshit royalty assuming it's ok and warring on it's on people or others.
GULLIBLE / NAIVE PUBLIC
People are quite clever ni the wrong way and kinda-of Nazis in how they want things done, no question. Nazis didn't just magically go away after WW2 - the mentality of financial authoritarians (a kind of Nazi controlling in similar ways) are still with us today. Not much choice is left today so at least by de facto Nazi-style even if nobody is waving a swastika flag but do tend to ask for your passport and think they own you for it.
HOW TO WRITE A BOOK?
( SUGGESTIONS ? )
Will take from website mostly and all these titles, perhaps existing pictures only or with titles as 1 short page pr 1 short and 1 long for each title...
http://freeschool.0id.org/sitemap/
I'd maybe rather holding meetings and then distributing as we go along of find rel context... while going for random and cross-pollination also...
but a book for TL;DR people and people way in any way is good.
The website and cook format doesn't cover it 100% is seems
EMOTIONAL VS. LOGIC BRAINS
I feel that there 2 kinds of reaction and people visibly from reaction and the tree of though if you suggest something or hit any trigger word...
Almost like two train tracks happen (one Emotional and one Logic lines, which can flow loosely back into logic and back into emotional lines so can actually work well in various cases.... but sometimes they are very rigid which is what this post is about mostly)
People who are VERY emotional or VERY logical I feel can be distinguished.
For example those that CAN'T IMAGINE THINGS OR THOSE THAT TAKE IT PERSONALLY ALL THE TIME- That's no good in some way or based on insecurities or lack of virtualising the problem / sandboxing.
LIKE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF PERSON LIKE DOGS BREEDS / TYPES - ONE IS RUNNING AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED YET AND THE OTHER WAIT FOR YOU AND GOES STEP BY STEP.
TRIGGERING REACTION - TRY READING THESE WORDS
MONEY CHEATING
NATURE ANIMALS
ROBBING PEOPLE BEHIND THEIR BACK
KILLING INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
BANKS AND DEBT
GOOGLE ON YOUR PHONE
SELLING YOUR DATA
ETC
If you got emotional during this post perhaps that's also a good sign which you are while still I mean those that lock-on more and can't let go (like the electricity or tension / nervousness that goes in their body) .
We as humanity need to get past that somewhat (to mix with other stuff as it all needs balance. Not saying ignore it or say anything is bad either, just balance is priority)
EXTRA NOTES / EXAMPLES:
There will be those that value 'fact's more than imagining people are stealing from us...
People in STEM say prove XYZ but don't understand robbing people isn't always as clear as the person announcing it or a book or chain techniques of as proof or 1 word.
I think you have to almost help the person by imagining they have correct reasoning while marking them as bullshit or un-valid to you along the way and chalking the tally up...
Like saying money is a laundering system or incentivizing a population for your own power and domination is perhaps too general but anyway people are rather blind to history repeating itself or can't see past money's bad uses when it 'gives' them life (by robbing them)...
Emotional things also come from vocabulary differences and I thing accept that is also ok or not always backing people in the corner early... if they believe it and I can't change that 1st hurdle then on to the next and slowly see the satellite system of which holds their belief.
My profile both breaks and re-molds and re-shapes people both in the soft and hard way...
Also to note it's both easier and hard to hear from certain people
(some priorities aesthetics or other formalities over needing to label where people are going when how the person is getting there is perhaps the point, which is like chicken and eggs similar things but causes a mind-fuck to think too much other than - do good / practise better / but know when it's quite enough
CHEERS!
HOW TO USE ME:
HOW TO PRACTISE 'MY' PRINCIPLES
Reading my principles and actually practising them in your day-to-day lives are two entirely different things.
- Me through Bill W.'s quote (almost word for word) https://kalum.ca/?AA_Twelve_Principles
Basically it's not a power struggle to get you to change, it should be your decision based on what you think (not just me, even if I have solid ground for it)
I say this because some people have a problem taking from looks like a mickey mouse account... with hearts and random stuff...
But once you own you're own life, I'm just a bit of decoration on your cake... or whatever project you're serious about....
PRINCIPLES - MOST I AGREE WITH (PICK AND CHOOSE!)
Sections divided by lines
____________________________
AA Twelve Principles
HONESTY – Fairness and straight forwardness of conduct: adherence to the facts.
HOPE – To expect with desire; something on which hopes are centered.
FAITH – Complete confidence; belief and trust.
COURAGE – Firmness of mind and will in the face of extreme difficulty; mental or moral strength to withstand fear.
INTEGRITY – The quality or state of being complete or undivided; soundness.
WILLINGNESS – Prompt to act or respond; accepted and done of choice or without reluctance.
HUMILITY – Not proud or haughty; not arrogant or assertive; a clear and concise understanding of what we are, followed by a sincere desire to become what we can be.
LOVE – Unselfish concern that freely accepts another in loyalty and seeks his good to hold dear.
DISCIPLINE – Training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character; to bring under control; to train or develop by instruction.

AWARENESS – Alive and alert; vigilance in observing.
SERVICE – A helpful act; contribution to the welfare of others; useful labor that does not produce a tangible commodity.
- Bill W. considered said reading these principles and actually practicing them in your day-to-day lives are two entirely different things (and that the latter requires vigilance and willingness).

POETRY - It's Up To You (poem)
It's up to you to fill the chair,
It's up to you to be aware,
It's up to you to take a chance,
It's up to you to take a stance,
It's up to me to show I care,
It's up to me to be aware,
It's up to us to communicate,
It's up to us to always be straight,
In order for this to succeed,
It's up to you and it's up to me.

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:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845561003150354
3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845709367492677
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...!
