That's called harm reduction sweaty, see I only half voted for Trump

Aside from the recommendations of seeing a doctor, coordination issues can also be the result of dehydration. If I notice I'm stumbling later in the day it's almost always the result of not drinking water

I think it's the total earnings per month, not an individual subscription...I hope....

That's fair and I think individual chapters and the relationships with members you organize with will be invaluable even if hexbear and other communists disagree with how leadership acts

[–] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months ago (14 children)

CPUSA has a lot of baggage compared with PSL or FRSO which plays into the distaste I think. If it's the only option in someone's area then it's better than not being organized, but it's hard to understand why they'd be a committed communist's first choice given their endorsements and campaigning for Biden

Votes in the last election are partially how it is being decided where to pursue getting signatures this cycle, so even writing in could help with data next go around. Nationals is being more selective in where they're encouraging chapters to collect signatures to maximize the effectiveness of volunteers' and members' activities

[–] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

Nationals has been looking at payoff for the work collecting signatures vs other activities of chapters and is only really encouraging a push for officially getting on the ballot if it seems like an easy time getting the necessary signatures. Even though it feels good to see PSL on the ballot we can all agree it's purely symbolic and they will never be elected in the current climate. This does a good job tamping down the criticism that we're too focused on electoralism too

I'm sure the guys standing in open windows or too scared to leave their tanks against a less trained and starved guerilla force will do great against a better equipped military force. Isn'treal should start now

I wasn't sure what this lady was talking about about here in a video about Aaron Bushnell: youtu.be/6f8MYAF1L9M?t=1032, but after searching found this: youtu.be/krG2dRS1ITE

Chances they are going to actually try this? What will happen if they do? Will Isn'treal attempt to sink them all with Ansaralah defending them and creating a naval starting flare to WW3?

 

— 🇳🇱/🇿🇦/🇮🇱 International Criminal Court in The Hague:

  1. The court has ruled 15 to 2, that the State of Israel must immediately abide by all the provisional measures as established.

  2. The court has ruled 16 to 1 that anyone who incites genocide against the Palestinian people must face immediate punishment.'

  3. The court has ruled 15 to 2 that the State of Israel must prevent the destruction, and commit to the preservation, of any evidence of its crimes against the Palestinians.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

The Hague International Court of Justice: The court found that the reports and evidence provided by South Africa were reasonable ; Some of the rights that South Africa is seeking make sense.

The Hague Court: Israel must end the siege and take measures to meet the needs of the besieged people.

🚩 @ResistanceTrench

The Hague court: Israel seems to have committed war crimes and violated the genocide conventions, but the court needs more time to issue its final opinion.

In response to Hamas military operations, Israel has committed war crimes and subjected Gaza residents to collective punishment.

This court requested Israel to stop the military operations against the residents of Gaza.

I am finally in a place where I'll be able to attend a protest but don't know what to expect.

I've got the basic understanding of leaving behind phones, don't drive and take public transit, bring first aid supplies, and wear nondescript comfortable clothing that will cover most exposed skin and is easy to move in, but what actually happens at these? Any good ideas for signs?

Other tips appreciated!

 

I don't know how to live with only allowing some politics into my life. I cannot navigate the extremes of escapism vs awareness.

In escapism and avoidance of news I can be 'happy' to an extent. Surface level. All sugar. Nothing to sustain me. Jumping from one rush of dopamine to the next. Play a game, buy something, drink, smoke, watch another rehash of a popular piece of media. Rinse and repeat until death, contributing nothing but a mountain of plastic to this sick Earth.

Alternatively, I immerse myself in the ills of the world. The sheer amount of suffering surrounding me. Those without a place to call home, ignored or hated by their fellows. The masses who live in that escapism because they feel the same as me, at some level, but turn inwards to avoid confronting it. Convince themselves that things will work themselves out. That the adults are at the wheel and are doing what's best. Or others still, too focused on the requirements of survival for themselves and their families to think about anything more. Knowing in their core that no one will pick them up if they fall.

For all the good I see happening, it seems there is twice as much bad to destroy it. To maintain the status quo. To watch as our world slowly dies or to dump fuel to the fire. The solutions to me are clear, and the symptoms of these problems are widely recognized across the world but the mechanisms for addressing them are blocked. We are told to believe global politic is a zero sum game. That there must be winners and loser and that we cannot cooperate for the betterment of all. Even the understanding that this evil system is circling the drain brings me no joy for it is doing its best to take everything beautiful with it. Extinction after extinction, natural wonders lost to time. A clock rapidly approaching a point of no return.

I don't know how to end this. I want to have an optimism of the spirit, but it is so damn hard. I cannot dedicate the time I want to the things I find important because I'm too busy studying for something I don't want to do while working to make someone else rich in a field that only contributes to the misery of many, albeit many steps removed. I cannot seem to square my morals with my existence while continuing to provide for those who depend on me. I'm decently well off and comfortable yet hate so much of my life because it all feels so pointless which adds to my guilt for not even being able to do something with it.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
