There's travel and there's travel

When people go to some place to see the sights and lie on the beach, that's not the same experience as when someone goes to an unfamiliar place to meet new people and really engage with their new location. The former is like junk food compared to an actual meal.

The protesters will block this same stretch of road every single day from now until fossil fuel subsidies are ended. Every day, for as long as necessary

Definitely not the Netherlands, we've got a terrible case of American-style individualist brain-rot

Union membership rates in the Netherlands are like 10% only. Ever since the end of 'Pillarisation' we've been mostly individualist. The only real exceptions are religious communities and local sports clubs.

We'll need a massive cultural change first to make people care about their fellow citizens again. We're too alienated.

I think Denmark has a much better chance, because their society favours collectivism a lot more. But then again Danish society has its own issues of course

The title was edited then, it didn't say it before.

A dedicated 'third place' - like a community center or something else dedicated to socializing outside work and the home.

You're also supposing that this climate crisis that the governments are currently inflicting on their people is not violence. And that the police beating protesters is not violence.

I'm amazed to see an article written by a mainstream news outlet that is well-informed about Anarchism!

You're describing anarchism ;)

It's Danish for 'kiss'

Bugs are always a trophic level above plants. It's always more efficient to 'cut out the middle man' and eat plants instead.

If you're looking for theory, The Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin is where it's at

Any sci fi novel by Ursula K. le Guin will have solarpunk elements, especially The Dispossessed

Not only representative politics. We need to focus on grassroots initiatives as well.

Both is good

Yup, it's my home instance and it's a great space all around

Wtf are you on about you weirdo

Yeah so you've reinvented anarchism? Okay?

Yes I'm an activist irl in my local queer-leftist scene and I'm active in my neighborhood's collective. What do you do except write these posts?

Just because I'm questioning your motives for re-packaging anarchism in a weird way doesn't mean I'm a bad-faith actor LMFAO

I question your methods and aims. Because all of your writings have a WEEEEIIIIRD vibe to them. And you don't engage with criticism, you just say 'read the text, it's in there.' And it never is.
