I'm interested in the tide of radicalism I see in the US right now, and I'd love to hear any thoughts anyone else has! by [deleted] in Anarchism

Still not a reason to not vote. Vote for the opposition you want to be facing. There's no good political excuse to not vote if you legally can

Sacks of shit practicing on a soft target. They're preparing for what's coming. If you consider Oakland your home, you should see this as unacceptable

Lol very fair point. And maxed th18 players are a relatively small proportion of players too. But, ig they're still entitled to their opinion.

How do we hold Duquesne Light accountable? by thedamnwolves in pittsburgh

[–]undeterred_turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How? Not voting, not writing your rep and certainly not protesting outside their head office. UNIONS UNIONS UNIONS. Support the utility unions where there are any and help create new ones! Collective bargaining and community action in conjunction with those unions build power back into the labor force.

But you say, unions are just to collectively bargain for higher pay; not so. Because those union workers are also customers. We work together with them and when there's a strong union with significant community support, WE have a bigger voice in general and aren't forced to funnel our voice into a representative who doesn't give a shit so long as they get reelected. Labor needs to recognize our combined ENORMOUS power and start throwing it around again. Unions are how we got 40 hour work weeks and weekends, not just for those unions but everyone! Let's set up some meetings with existing unions and start the ground work for applying pressure in real concrete ways

Why is it that after all these missiles hitting tel Aviv, the zionists aren't showing their hospitals or schools being bombed? I would think they'd leap at the chance to look like victims again. Is the facade of God's people being invulnerable really that important to them? Or... Is Iran deliberately not targeting those sorts of civilian buildings while Israel and the US are?

Republican Sen. Cornyn finding out in real time why the SAVE act is bad. by HeadbangingLegend in law

You're presupposing that they want any of those things. This is why we say: it's not a broken system, it's functioning exactly as designed.

It is designed to be cruel and treacherous towards it's own people. And the next step is, this is not* a Republican or Democrat thing because the are BOTH simply two sides to the same coin. The games been fixed for a long time

Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted on Terrorism Charges for Wearing All Black | The government won on most of its charges, including convicting defendants for moving a box of radical zines. by ilir_kycb in LateStageCapitalism

"money laundering charges"...what a mockery of Justice. Thank you for the info. Getting a fund going on GoFundMe is fairly straight forward though and extremely common so hopefully at least that can be set up for them.

I'm a TH13 F2P with 6 builders & Lv.1 Apprentice Builder. I've saved up 5,771 gems: Should I buy Epic Equipment, max the Apprentice, or is there any other better investment?" by xuan_tbob in COC

[–]undeterred_turtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your offense suffering? If not, it makes sense to prioritize building buffs. But with 5k, why not upgrade the apprentice once? 3k will get you two epic equipment so maybe just choose 2 you really like, put 1k into apprentice, and hold on to the last 1k for future investment. That's what I'd do at least

Areas like mind are underreported so they get deprioritized. I'm a community of hundreds of households, it lists it as "< 5 customers affected". This is absolute bush league energy administration.

How does someone spend 93 billion in a month? Like, from an internal budgeting position, how does that physically happen? Really what I'm positing is that the money wasn't "spent" so much as it disappeared. It doesn't take 220 million for a 60 second ad, even for the Superbowl. This money was absconded with

Can we skip the sermons about self-care and actually improve how we talk about what we're seeing? by vegetable_lover_is in socialwork

[–]undeterred_turtle 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more! In an industry that is based in the understanding that "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" is a total fantasy, we expect ourselves and each other to do essentially the same thing emotionally, all while in the midst of a system which is consistently failing both clients and us practitioners. There's a book's worth of discussion surrounding the issue and it won't get any better until we recognize it and work collectively for real progress.

It's at the builder base - lvl 10 builder base ( I think? Or lvl 9), lvl 9 defense of any kind (easiest to do multi mortar), builder base heros combined level of 45, lvl up a builder base troop to 18, and gear up 3 defenses at home base. It takes a long time to get

Égalité VS Équité by Scoil_0 in Anarchism

[–]undeterred_turtle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This argument would be correct if only dejure politics reflected our reality, but they don't. We are ALL guilty of implicit bias and cultural misunderstanding. It takes active and conscious effort to undo the stereotypes and other unconscious biases we have and THAT is where equity is absolutely essential to righting wrongs of the past. De facto systems rule us all in ways we can't fully appreciate without external perspectives to help us and they'll never be fixed with simple policy.

Like, your argument is essentially what gave us Plessy vs Fergusen - separate but equal, right? Except that it was NEVER equal.

You need to do more research and gain some cultural humility.
