This is guy is crazy town. But America chose this administration.

Fuck that, I didn't. Unlike certain braggarts on this forum, I voted because if we didn't, this would happen. Guess what. Those braggarts didn't vote and this happened.

Fuck everyone that voted for him

And everyone that didn't vote. Many on this forum.

Yup. Fuck the people who thought not voting for Kamala was some sort of stance.

Wait a minute. Did I miss something or is this the first indication she actually voted? So who did she vote for if she is antigenocide? Certainly it wasn't Kamala nor Trump? Hmm.

I was thinking about making a similar thread yesterday about seeking out local resources for action. I am fired up. This book will help organize my thoughts I think, so thank you.
I am going to join my first local DSA chapter meet tonight.
The time for change is now.

The local DSA chapter here in southern California are all rich yt people.

I just keep telling recounting the end of Sam's speech in my head when I see stuff like this: "That there's still some good left in this world Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."

It's getting harder and harder to embrace that powerful message. I genuinely fear for my wife and her family. And her step mom and step brother (neither can even vote) both wanted Trump to win. The step-brother even not caring if he gets deported or not. I honestly don't get it.

Anyway, I'm just rambling here a bit. This is not easy.

My ideal society imagines a world that pushes true self-actualization of the individual and participation within a community to take care of a sustainable world.

You're not toiling in retail, in a warehouse, or a cubicle for 35-40 years to enrich some fucking asshole who makes thousands of times what you do for far less work. You do the minimum that you need to do under the understanding that you are contributing meaningful work to society, and then you are not only free but encouraged to pursue your interests and talents through free and cheap access to education, workshops, and grassroots organizations and groups, knowing that the more human beings we allow to pursue and develop their strengths, the likelier we increase our discovery of new breakthroughs in our lives, whether socially or technologically.

Your amenities and shops are not miles and miles away necessitating an expensive-ass car that needs expensive-ass gas or for you to stop every so often to charge it up again. If you're far out or taking a long trip, then you've got robust public options to get to where you need to go.

You've got family, friends, and neighbors who actually give a damn about you for you, who see about you, and who make sure you're alright. Indeed, your first option before going to buy something should be asking if your friend or neighbor can help you out, and they likely will knowing you'll return the favor. "Cup of sugar politics" as I call it.

The streets and parks are actually alive with art (real fucking art, not this AI trash), music, dancing, food and other cultural footnotes. Kids are drawing with chalk. Folks are skating up and down the road. Some musicians have met up to jam. People are hanging out talking about their lives and dating healthily.

You don't worry about crime really all that much. Not only are people's needs largely being met, but we have communal ways and deterrents to prevent assholes from taking advantage without having to sic jack-booted racists on them.

I want to live in a country whose politics focus less on property and consumption and more on people and socializing. I want a country where I can easily find friends, or someone to talk to, or a cool boyfriend. I want to be able to walk down to the park and see a festival going on and be obliged to join in. I want to sit on the porch during the evening and chat it up with my neighbors.

I want to have a fucking life on a planet whose ecosystems aren't dying to fill the holes in our hearts and spirits with video games and phones.

How would all these amenities and shops close to everyone's home stay open if everyone's doing the bare minimum?

Nepenthe, Why did you genocide carrots and the take a carrot, leave a carrot economy? Do you just hate eyesight and want everybody to have bad teeth and diabetes?

Give it time. A lot of companies and outlets are finally migrating to Bluesky. Just gotta be a little more patient.

I gave it like 4 years of time. Twitter is literally the Elon and Trump platform now, there are no excuses anymore. It's full of racists, Nazis and conspiracy theorists. It's their platform. I do no longer care that there's "also good people" on it, see the 1 nazi on a table analogy. As I just posted in the community feedback thread, we're not posting Breitbart or Daily Stormer links, do we? So, is it really too much of an ask to post the original sources, identical bluesky links or, really really simple, just a screenshot?

Maybe we can set up a general US activism Discord for discussions and resources? (And have folks also update various threads.)

For reading, would folks prefer the discussion to be in a thread like this or Discord?
