Or maybe instead of dunking China should do something that actually helps the workers of greece, who might need all the solidarity they can get.

I judge people on plenty of things that are legal. You probably do it too

Are you looking for an affinity group as described in the linked text or in general participation in anarchist projects in groups?

I think for the first its really hard if you currently dont have many personal connections to like minded folks, but the second one is something I really encourage you to try out.

Also if consensus driven / non hierarchical activism is your main focus, you might find groups that are not anarchist but (try to) practice their activism this way. Its kinda the current way most groups aspire to organize themselves if they are not specifically hierarchical.

Edit: also while the foodnotbombs group might currently be inactive, you could still try to shoot them a message via social media or email and ask them for connections and ideas in your area.

Collectively we should be able to care about multiple things at once and also prioritze between them.

Even if data centers use mostly renewables, its not like those are actually so abundant that they would go unused. Its important to not just switch power generation but to actually also reduce power consumption, especially when its such low hanging fruits as AI.

There is not “one” real anarchist answer. There a so many perspectives in anarchism, that claiming so is really misleading imo.

For many things(meat, PS5, alcohol, medical supplies) its close to impossible or nor feasible to get them via dumpster diving.

And about the “better for the world part” I think you are wrong, but tbh its not like it matters. People should steal stuff because they want it and not because it makes the world better.

But did actually anyone actually pirate your music? Like is your music on a torrent indexer or shared on a site specific to music?

I have heard from friends that they got banned for using adblockers on free Spotify.

My account got deactivated after doing that (firefox+ublock). It was really sneaky because my password just stopped working. My account was reactivated by contacting the support and they never told me the reason why my account got deactivated.

You seem to have really high standards around who you trust and in the same moment you call Telegram secure. I feel like you should atleast use the same amount of scepticism for Telegram that you use for Signal.

This might not be relevant because you have other reasons not to use Signal, but you can get android signal directly from their website and via aurora store (on fdroid)

Just use Signal if you want an easy, relatively privacy friendly and secure messenger.

Telegram hands over data to goverments, is infested with spammers and scammers and its encryption is not end to end for group chat which lets Telegram access those chats.

Edit: Telegram is great for lots of things like big groups, communities, piracy, drugs etc but its just not the place where you should expect secure communication.

On other platforms like Twitter and Mastodon the block functionality is pretty helpful. Using block lists improves the experience of those that get most often targeted tremendously.

How matrix with its end to end encryption giving my data to everyone???

Because it is essentially a prison, a place to control you while seperating you from the general population.

Also I am sorry that happened to you.

Ok where can I join?

Do you think it might be a good idea to add content warnings to the title?

Anarchism and Marxism describe dramatically different vulnerabilities in capitalism which in turn imply dramatically different strategic orientations toward the world.

If raw economies of scale are the deciding factor in struggle, then meaningful social change can only come through proletarian uprisings or movements of sufficient size. Hence anything that isn’t building up working-class institutions and/or The Party is a waste of time.

But if capitalism is riddled with inefficiencies and potential exploits, then actively being able to search through them to find critical points of leverage is far more effective because it enables force multipliers and attack vectors which can give you capacity on par if not exceeding mass movements.

I feel like this point did not come across that well in the text, but thankfully it was summed up at the end. One thing I like about some “classical” anarchist texts is that they really hammer down on each idea with sometimes multiple times stating their point from different perspectives or with multiple metaphors.

Also the text might not be as accessible for those without some IT knowledge, but for me that was actually perfect.

Do you know of any public reflections / analysis or report backs from groups that were involved?

Idk why you think that literally just planting the same amount of trees is somehow the same as leaving a forest as it is. Especially in the climate crisis where we quite literally need every tree and need to preserve every biotope…

According to BUND, Sehring is not fulfilling the reforestation requirements and is therefore actively contributing to the loss of the forest and biodiversity.

And what are they supposed to do?

Fuck off, thats what they are supposed to do imo
