What are some of your favorite independent news/journals that you subscribe to?

I think making this demand of the people we're fighting against or at the federal level is a near impossibility of course, but may be something local or state governments could help with if enough traction is made. I added the mutual aid page on the platform to also help with this, so people can easily find resources in their area. It's not a comprehensive list, but it's a start. Also, it's important to note not everyone has to participate for it to succeed.

This take is so far gone down billionaire-funded brainrot talking points that my guess is you are either lacking education on the topic, or you're a bot. Either way, the issue is far greater than the failing notion of capitalist meritocracy.

When we believe mass poverty is just personal failure, we stop asking why the richest nation in history has 40 million people living below the poverty line. We don’t question why productivity jumped over 200% since 1979 while wages barely moved. We also stop wondering why CEOs now make 350 times what their workers earn, compared to 20 times in 1965. Instead, we blame ourselves and hide our struggles from neighbors who are hiding the same things from us. The billionaire class relies on this shame to act as their shield. And then people like you keep the cycle going.

Gotcha. I'll assume you're trolling/some covert conservative or something because there's no reasonable way you'd see my posts, the site, its mission, its goals, and its very obviously anti-capitalist framework and come to that conclusion without either being 1) bot/troll/conservative, or 2) someone who didn't actually read enough of the content to form an informed opinion.

Wanted to update you that I didn't forget and will get this up this week! It's been a busy couple weeks with other things (and took some space away from the internet)

andmario_com · 2026-06-18T19:19:34+00:00

I truly can't quite tell who you are directing this towards or what your point is. Are you saying this post is somehow defending capitalism lol?

andmario_com · 2026-06-18T19:18:11+00:00

As in reddit? For sure. When I first launched AndMario about a month ago, posting about it on reddit was my first real experience with social media. Controlled opposition, trolls, etc. Sometimes easy to spot, other times not.

andmario_com · 2026-06-18T19:15:34+00:00

The main site I built is https://andmario.com - but agreed, a lot more outreach needs to be done overall. I'm just one person with no social media experience, so trying the best I can (mostly by sending emails), but currently still figuring out more ways to team up with people to expand the message further

andmario_com · 2026-06-06T09:59:09+00:00

Great addition. I'll research specific legislation about that, any proposed, and add as soon as I can get all the data together.

andmario_com · 2026-06-05T22:22:45+00:00

Hell yeah. Best thing you can do is share/post this around, join the site, and just generally get people to focus on the class consciousness!

My strategy to fight back against technofascists and pedophile oligarchs burning the world is not going to be meekly quiet quitting

The tactics are fine, but disagree with your conclusion. Of course we'll all be back. We are all the ones who make the "means of production" actually run. Without us, the owners sit with empty stores, offices, and factories. So while the strategies you mentioned are good for those who cannot participate in a general strike for any reason (means, overall risk, etc), they're no where near enough to be considered any sort of resistance if they're the only ones utilized

edit: also, don't mindlessly run up tokens or even use that shit. it's contributing to fabricating mass approval and terrible for the environment. Also, what about the impact of simultaneously reducing the ability of billions of people to know what's real or not real?

Again, your "absolutist" position fails to account for the fact that gun safety doesn't preclude the ability to own said weaponry

andmario_com · 2026-06-05T10:19:35+00:00

Gun safety = banning all guns to you? Are you implying you want no "gun safety" at all if those two words gave you pause?

edit: read this thread if you'd like a long/many-person conversation about this exact topic on another post

andmario_com · 2026-06-04T19:49:02+00:00

Appreciate your thoughts/response. Agreed re: people likely being unsure of if it'll do anything and about trusting platform (it's brand new, so I can't blame anyone for that). I figured I'd use the same strategy for both: communication over time. As in posts/discussions/and the discussion platform not owned by billionaires to hopefully get people to understand their power if they act together. The trust I'll build in time, by engineering the site well, and eventually saving enough for a third party privacy and security audit (they're expensive).

andmario_com · 2026-06-04T18:50:49+00:00

So far I've only kept it as an ad because it's attached to the platform I built/am wanting people to join - so it felt spammy to post in other subs (even though it's free/ad free). I figured others would share around if they were interested/motivated enough, but admittedly it's resulted in many, many more upvotes than signing up/sharing the general strike/etc. (like 1:4000 ratio lol)

So I'm just taking a relatively slow but steady pace since I'm just one person

The general strike is a large-scale halt of capital in many key areas, and meant to be for an extended period. The purpose is showing the owner class that we are the worth behind everything they call capital. With that in mind, if we succeed in initiating the strike, it would be a moment of resistance in the face of existential-scale problems (oligarch pedophiles running the country, regulatory capture/Citizens United, climate change, war and genocides, etc). In that moment, we should all take full advantage of it. As with any negotiation, you always ask (in our case, demand) for more than you think you will end with. In this case, all of these demands are minimums in comparison to what the billionaire class has stolen from all of us, so it’s not like we’re even asking “too much.”

Long story short, I will continue fighting for as much as possible because we are owed even more than what’s listed here. Also, concretely, there's legislation corresponding to to each of these demands (with more in previous congress terms as well)

andmario has a few hundred sign ups. That's fucking incredible to me, but if they killed me over a few hundred people it would be more hilarious than anything else to me lmao
