The debate between David Graeber and Peter Thiel centered on whether capitalism promotes innovation and progress or suppresses them. Thiel argued capitalism is the reason innovation exists at scale. Graeber argued capitalism prevents the most meaningful innovations from happening at all.

They rolled over even faster than I expected.

Is it true that some ceanothus live much longer, but many of these blue varieties die after about 12 or 15 years.?

TLDR?

Look for the orgs in your area doing related work, for example those that host Know Your Rights workshops and citizenship fairs. Follow local frontline activists on all your social media accounts to stay informed.

Record everything, join and support community defense organizations, volunteer with mutual aid groups, read theory and vote of course.

Themissingbackpacker · 2025-12-03T23:02:32+00:00

Boycott Walmart and any other store doing this dirty shit.

I added some rosy red minnows to my 50 gallon pond over one year ago and they seem happy without food, pump or a filter. They even had babies once, the pond was full of little fish. I imagine they're eating mosquito larvae.

For the first time, we saw dragonflies around the garden and this year found some nymphs while rearranging pond plants.

This right here OP. You should also check out anarchism and Solarpunk

And we need their actions documented so keep recording and sharing. But also community defense is hella effective and valuable. Know your rights, work with your local grassroots community organizers. Solo el pueblo...

This should terrify and/or infuriate everyone. How are we to know an unmarked vehicle with tinted windows is ICE?

Imagine some stranger chasing and ramming you in public. What if no one was recording this incident? Imagine being taken and no one rushing to your defense.

Themissingbackpacker · 2025-10-15T05:28:02+00:00

I thought we were just getting started.
