So...because a few thousand people want to live better than any person in most of human history could possibly conceive, we're all gonna die?
And the normies are cool with this?
I feel fairly confident that almost everyone reading this is not. So I ask you once again.
It's 1933 again. WTF are we going to do about it?!?
How do we convince the people starting to realize that #fascism is a problem that #billionaires and #oligarchs are the root cause that needs to be yanked out?
I'm thinking that we need to use #art as a weapon & deploy clever art installations, signs, stickers & chalk art in public places.
Got any other suggestions besides the also important protests, pressure on elected officials, boycotts & union support?
What about examples or ideas for #ActivistArt? Want to join an artist's federation or start your own #ArtFED?
"I'm your huckleberry."
"It takes a village, but not everyone is in your village. That's ok.
Cobble your village together from the smoldering wreckage of the city or country around you.
This is the essence of mutual aid and will be more crucial than ever. Mutual aid isn't just giving money to the friend whose city burnt down before yours.
Share your knowledge. Share your wisdom & your fears. Share your compassion. Share your joy and your tears. Share your skills & yes, even your bills."

These times are too much for any thinking, feeling person to handle.
That's why RPGs are better with a party.
Unfortunately IRL local #community & #MutualAid groups are tough to come by for a variety of reasons. One of my many goals is to encourage them whenever possible, but until then we have the Fediverse.
I wonder how many people reading this are lonely. Do you have more time on your hands than friends?
If so, are you willing to do 2 simple things? 1)Reply to this thread,then 2) find someone else who has replied and say hi

Is #PhysicalMedia more your thing?
#AnalogRevolution and many of the same artists got you.

Doesn't matter if you're a tape head, a vinyl nerd or still rocking the CD player.
Many of the fediverse musicians are using #Faircamp and other deshittified services.

#BonkWave may or may not have it's own radio station?!?
This is now a thread
Be a #Fedipunk & be there for each other.
In fascism, culture is not your friend.

Give me a genre & I'll find you a new favorite artist.
Let's try this again.
"There needs to be a word for rejection of #enshittified corporate tech in favour of open tech with no agenda beyond its nominal function.
The term 'neo-Luddism' doesn't feel right.
Any suggestions?"
@flockofnazguls
Original thread that brought up a couple options. I like that #FediPunk also includes supporting #Fediverse artists. What do you think?
