Just created my first petition – it's quite interesting, all the mechanisms change.org has for creators of a petition! See chng.it/sd4YKwG6Mt

What a fever dream 😂😂

Hehe thanks, great to see you here as well! Was so confused after I signed up, because W3PN is all about privacy and decentralization, but then they still use X out of all the options? 😅

The Frustrating Passiveness of Headspace It's all about taxes, stupid. Don't let others make you think that you're too stupid for more democracy.

English: "Love, work, and knowledge are the sources of our existence. They should also govern it."

Mmhh intercourse

„Liebe, Arbeit und Wissen sind die Quellen unseres Daseins. Sie sollten es auch regieren.“ #SexuelleRevolution

of „this behavior is okay, and this behavior is not“. It‘s not rocket science. Even just the concept of „consent“ many people only start to seriously consider when, at some point in their life, they enter the kink scene. But consent is so much more fundamental, and every child must know about it.

so deeply that they are not aware of it, that they don‘t make a „rational decision for hate“, but they just blindly replicate the harmful behaviors of their parents, teachers and „friends“. I see a rather simple solution: widespread emotional education for children. Just giving children a baseline

instead they have been *raised* to be this way, to identify with and to obey authority, no matter whether this authority is actually saying. That is, I don‘t think that „hate“ is the root here, but instead it‘s simply emotional underdevelopment, it‘s people having internalized harmful culture

don‘t *know* how to do it. For so many, these types of behavior which are simply just baseline considerate and friendly are completely foreign. Many don‘t know what „friendliness“ or „dignity“ mean beyond basic politeness. It‘s not that, for example, Trump voters in general are just bad people, but

Finally, thank you so much for addressing these cultural aspects! So many people are so stuck in being annoyed about politics that they don‘t realize what led to all of this in the first place: estrangement from love. It‘s not that people wouldn‘t *want* to show love and compassion, but they simply

And the system wants you to get stuck in blaming anyone, so that you don‘t have the mind space to think about what to actually do better and improve. Blaming is always, and I repeat, *always* pointless. (and I‘m aware of the irony of blaming people who blame, but I think this is an exception)

A beautifully simple and analogue system for booking rooms in communities! I discovered this in a typical Swedish apartment building, for laundry. Every neighbor has a number (the list is out of frame at the left) and then they can use their regular key to move the little selector with their number.

see how bottom-up and top-down approaches grow together. Sandwich tactics ftw!

I mean, in the end it‘s two sides of the same coin. It‘s sort of like when a wildfire is going on, of course the fire needs to be fought, but it still makes sense for people that aren‘t firefighters to think about long-term solutions how to prevent such fires in general. I genuinely love it to

for calling out awful people, but instead *complimentary* to that. After all, I‘m always for talking about even the „silliest“ solution attempts, just to open the floor for actual problem-*solving*, instead of just problem-observing.

the word anymore; instead, only action and actually doing grassroots initatives counts, which don‘t just address acute problems, but which instead deconstruct the deeper power structures and psychological layers. It‘s this tabooless analytical depth which is missing for me, not as a replacement

calling out awful people is bad, it‘s very much necessary and a healthy thing to do. What I‘m frustrated about is that many people leave it at that, i.e. that they believe that just stating these facts is enough to cause any meaningful change. I personally simply don‘t believe in the power of

Yeah you‘re right, maybe I did formulate it a bit too drastically. After all, at least right now, I‘m just as useless as everyone else, because I‘m also just spewing words, just like so many others. But with „makes you just as bad as them“, you might have misunderstood me. I‘m not saying that

coming. It‘s like a leak in a water pipe: Obviously first fix the leak before telling the mayor to implement better water pipe protection mechanisms. Otherwise you will drown before your actions have any effect.

in adult bodies, because no one has ever taught them to behave. In the end, even winning elections won‘t change anything as long as we don‘t seriously consider this fact and kick off the necessary educational measures especially for children, otherwise lovers of authoritarianism will just keep

just don‘t know it yet, especially because many of them have never experienced love, compassion or generally any moral coherence from their parents, teachers etc. Trump supporters aren‘t bad people and it‘s not their fault that they are that way, they are simply emotionally underdeveloped children

tactics in general. Of course not for warfare, but instead for peacefully rebelling against the system from within. After all, I strongly believe that less authoritarianism is actually *objectively* (!) better for everyone, including those currently supporting authoritarians. These people

just based on political *positions* is ineffective at least and downright impossible at most. Not because the anti-authoritarian positions themselves are bad, but because people simply don‘t listen to them. But I don‘t know, I‘ve recently also been very fascinated with the concept of guerilla

Consequently, just based on the fact that the majority of the monetary wealth in the US is concentrated in Republican-leaning people, and the fact that the „Trump formula“ (i.e. this narcissist short-sightedness) also does „work“, i.e. it has brought him into office, trying to win elections

democracies, they are oligarchies. That is: The one with the most available *money* wins, because that person can simply do the most advertising, while political positions are pretty much irrelevant. In the current system, people are not voting for political positions, they are voting for humans.
