1·20 days agonailed it lmao
I’m gonna suggest, as someone who feels a bit ahead of the curve, very unhappy she was duly a “paranoiac” over the last 6 years … that simple things like meditation and congregating w. intentional community at regular intervals, have been studied and proven to elongate lifespan and reduce stress-related health risk factors. That plus 8-9h sleep are things too many of us sacrifice.
I totally follow that your criticism of what’s published is about it’s lack of adherance to scientific rigor…and what I’m suggesting is this Yes, AND: Sieze the opportunity to encourage those who arent welcome or inclined to be church going, to have secular, extracurricular gatherings with regularity. It is a rare opportunity to talk about sleep debt without being preachy because that is a more tangible offering tham the publication in question.
N n nope. Doomerism will not due. The masses without a voice do not deserve to be flushed away just for the sake of being written off along with the outsized vocal minority of status quo warrior right wing authoritarians (and liberal sympathizers of such)
As to an answers beyond simply getting-armed-and-fostering-healthy-gun-culture-and-education-among-us:
“Practicing mutual aid is the surest means for giving each other and to all the greatest safety, the best guarantee of existence and progress, bodily, intellectually and morally.”
That’s Kropotkin
And then Modern Libs even observe, more verbosely:
“The structures of our state economies are going to matter in terms of protecting democracies, and by that I mean if you look at economies that were based in the kind of small producer economies like New England was vs states like the South and the American West that were always built on the idea of very high capital using extractive methods to get resources out of the land either cotton or mining or oil or water or agri business, those economies always depend on a few people with a lot of money, and then a whole bunch of people who are poor and doing the work for those Rich guys – and that I’m not sure is compatible in terms of governance without addressing the reality that you know if people have more of a foothold in their own communities, they are then more likely to support the kinds of legislation that Community [Education, Healthcare, …] and that may be the future of democracy, if not a national democracy”

If a Conservative wants me dead, they’re going to have to work and sweat for it. I’m not doing the heavy lifting for them (A Quote I agree with)
Our resulting interactions may seem chaotic and illegible to authority, but it is through that seeming chaos that vastly complex, horizontal, and resilient practices of learning, cooperation, and reciprocity have historically arisen.

MASKING REALLY HELPS; Covid, RSV, Flu is a greater threat to marginalized communities. Can’t do organizing without prioritizing precautions.
Show up for your neighbors. The rest will come.
The person reading this is cute.
🫂 now more than ever your connecting to people, your being visible, matters. Yes, you. To add to other replies, yes you are indeed loved, you are enough, and you have so much uniquely to offer your communities.
Please try and remember that comparsion is the theif of joy; your specific life experience is valuable. It’s far from easy, but it is so worth it, and powerful, to set an example for others who might be closeted or feeling they wont be accepted.

You might appreciate this.
Idk about “being anti-racist is the new racism” but i do know anti-racism is hollow without opposing imperialism", signal boosting where i found that: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC6o7j4ZNNziKnCyds8-XzA
This.
Not a big fan of Tik Tok but fuck this fedposting bootlicker OP.
3·2 months agoOne more post for this thread and then protecting my energy. Topic of great passion, interest and survival for me.
You are not an asshole for protecting your energy from abusive behavior.
The following must not be confused with abusive/asshole behavior:

Social Ostracization and Bannishment should be a last resort only.
We can do better with communal moderation and conflict resolution.
I reccomend the youtube channel AnRel to address some of the greater nuances
Also, this playlist is something i return to every so often: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaOxDnLZqNcmxxkuxTVxYnhrYEOeoTRjP
neurotypical feels like a slur
Genuinely, as someone who’s been on both the moderating and recieving end of communal moderation as a traumatized trans and disabled person, this topic is an iceberg. Social osratcization and bannishment shouldnt be weilded heavy handedly.
If you feel so oppressed, be glad that people empathize with you for your congruence with mental state, brain chemisty and so much more that we barely even have words much less proper understanding at large for, which is all lumped in to “neurodivergent”, and that your every choice is not medicalized and psychoanalyzed for being so bold as to be out about it.
Im over the respectability politics ☮️
Seems like some users thought this thread was a free pass to question neurospicy folks legitimacy regardless of assholeishness. Cool lemmy.world, cool /s
2·2 months agoNice try but again just because you dont like it, doesnt mean your censorship will result in anything other than silencing marginalized people’s perspectives, while allowing the status quo to go unchecked. Everything’s political.
Attached image addresses noone specifically, but rather that dynamic and faux-enlightenment.

Two genders: Men and Political
Two races: White and political
Two orientations: Straight and political
Sorry but if you sweep it under the rug then your moderation is derelict of it’s duty / irresponsible or indeed potentially lethal.
2·2 months agoLol ok
Peter Steele may well have been poorly educated or informed about things like catholocism, and some of his lyrics did come off chuddy/misogynist…but ya sure can point to him in these sorts of situations so 🤷♀️
Ruck Fussia (at least it’s orthodox queerphobic demographic) and embrace the fagginess tho, where and whenever possible 🧙♀️
Fascism cannibalizes with much tact, as much so as a game of checkers. They demand loyalty while asking you to display you are not loyal to those you serve/ally with. Then, when it becomes your turn to be fed into the machine, your betrayal to then scapegoat is all they need to justify your lack of trustworthiness.
The onion layers peel until the nation itself is fully cannibalized
