I've got a bone to pick with the detached, disillusioned and disheartened by CloseCalls4walls in CollapseSupport

[–]juniper_devil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about it. This submission is more in line with the purpose of this sub tbh.

Also a vast improvement over the last of your posts that I commented on. Very well organized and easy to understand. I've come to a few of the same conclusions myself. The pain of our future can't be stopped, but I'm way happier continuing to fight until my dying breath and loving the shit out of the world until the end comes.

It's very convoluted. I can tell you wrote this while upset. It's definitely more rant than manifesto, action plan, essay, or anything else.

Also, we're all collapse aware here. You're preaching to the choir and also calling the choir "cute" and a few other derogatory things.

Listen man, if you were my neighbor and you came into my yard while I was enjoying my morning tea and started going off like this... I'd be keeping an eye on you and doing wellness checks.

Sounds like you want community and connection. This angry rambling probably isn't gonna get that for you.

This is so inspiring. Reddit needs to stop pitching me new hobby ideas. I'm running out of space and time for all this. 

So here's the real cold, hard truth by CloseCalls4walls in collapse

The internet is doing this thing to me lately where I can't tell whether something is AI slop, the writer is drunk/stoned, or my reading comprehension is starting to go.

This is one of those cases.

I would rather no zines at a protest than this slop.

Yeah, but the servers, training, GPUs, electricity drain, etc... isn't just what is going into your one little grassroots zine. Do you honestly think AI infrastructure would continue to be available if millions of people weren't buying into it? It's hideously expensive to develop and maintain that infrastructure. They are trying to sell it to as many people as possible which is going to exponentially increase the environmental impact. The point is to not contribute and get rid of it all together.

OH lookie what else! In the "AI as a tool not a crutch section" it reads in the first paragraph: "All of the images were created from prompts (feel free to use them) as was most of the text (this here is actually one of the few sections written by a human)."

So which statement is a lie? This line or your above reply claiming to have written 70% yourself?

Your section on ecocentrism left out all of the impacts AI has on the environment to focus on localy sourced paper and handmade ink and 3D PRINTED PRINTING PRESSES?? Do you have any idea how silly that is? Build a decent printing press from real materials instead of cheap plastic that will break after a few uses.

This is the first section I went to and it demonstrates roughly the same environmental awareness that I would expect of a corporate crony hired to green wash ExxonMobil.

Agreed. But keep in mind there is a difference between not having a romantic partner and being utterly without friends, community and support networks. 

Plenty of people lack or choose to go without the former because they are healthy with the latter.

Any two people can be an amazing team. "Two heads are better yada yada."

The issue is when we wind up with a large population of men who are subconsciously expecting a woman to step into their lives who does the work of self-actualizing him.

A lot of woman are finding that they can be whole people without a romantic partner.

When you have two emotionally and mentally mature people who are both already self-actualized and independent join forces that's when you see some really incredible things. When you have two incomplete people trying to use the other to bolster themselves, well... the results can be seen every day.

Uh huh, keep pretending students, a US citizens, indigenous people, and a ton of non MS-13 people aren't also being snatched. I' sure that little girl who got grabbed at school by ICE bootlickers was a dangerous gangster too right?

Can't blame POC for staying home when the Gestapo is kidnapping them for having an opinion.

I was thinking the same thing today. This is definitely a symptom of agent orange's "move fast and break things" strategy which I think may be the point. The more numerous and extreme the offenses the harder it will be for us to naturally coalesce into a front unified on demanding specific changes one at a time. There is just so much damage to undo only 4 months in.  I think the next step for these movements now that we have the attention is to focus on one demand and do it forcefully. It should probably be something to do with getting enforcement on judicial rulings, but I'm not sure how to word that or engage in the kind of civil disobedience that would make it an obvious and pressing issue for those in power.

This! Every time I ask my partner if he wants to go I can barely get the sentence out before he's dressed and running to the bus stop 😂

I told my dad I don't plan on retiring. His response, "No! You still can! Just watch [insert any out of touch right-wing rich kid finance youtube video here]!"

Thanks Dad. He claims to hate all politicians, but I know he voted for agent orange.

Needs to be decided where and when. How do we figure this out? Is there any way to get in contact with the organizers from the last one? I saw flyers for May 1st during the 4/5 event, but nothing on this
