“There is something very wrong with what we have made ourselves. We have become a civilization based on work — not even ‘productive work’ but work as an end and meaning in itself. We have come to believe that men and women who do not work harder than they wish at jobs they do not particularly enjoy are bad people unworthy of love, care, or assistance from their communities. It is as if we have collectively acquiesced to our own enslavement. The main political reaction to our awareness that half the time we are engaged in utterly meaningless or even counterproductive activities — usually under the orders of a person we dislike — is to rankle with resentment over the fact there might be others out there who are not in the same trap. As a result, hatred, resentment, and suspicion have become the glue that holds society together. This is a disastrous state of affairs.”
I want other young people to understand that if the extent of your radical action is posting “eat the rich!” on social media and waiting for somebody to tell you a revolution has started, nothing will change and you’ll get arrested in the Third Red Scare and that’ll be it
And most importantly, joinradical groups in your area. Strength is found in numbers and none of us can change the world alone. If you need help finding your local movement, DM me and I’ll look around for you so you can start getting stuff done
Feed the people. People can’t–won’t– strike, protest, go against the bosses, sit in, down, or out, show up for community actions, marches or any other damn thing, and they won’t put thier jobs or homes or freedom or ability to feed and house thier kids in jepoardy unless you can answer the question “How are we going to eat?”
You’ve got to have an alternative. People need to eat and live and meet thier needs and the needs of the people they are responsible for. People have to come together and get each other taken care of and fed. Otherwise the only people who show up are the ones who can afford to. And since the group of people who both have resources-time, emotional, financial, transportation, etc and want to show up and change the system–is fairly small, and not growing fast…. That’s not enough people for a revolution.
Learn consensus. Build community with people. Talk to the humans around you and figure out what they need and how to organize people to meet that need. People aren’t going to show up and be told what they need. If you–if we–want a different system, we have to show up and show–not tell-people how they can meet each other’s needs.
and if your sole contribution is gatekeeping and infighting, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution. turn outward. look for opportunities to help. DO SOME WORK.
Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.
Relocated to northern Minnesota and kinda really worried about being able to eat for the rest of the month plus I’m in need of some things to make this new place more handicap accessible as I have limited mobility and am unable to stand for long periods or bend. Any help is greatly appreciated, miigwech (thank you).
[a calf of the swedish traditional cattle breed, fjällnära ko, called swedish mountain cattle in english]
so, cows attacking wolves, and similiar natural predators to cows, is in my understanding standard cow behavour
(they will run towards wolves as a herd, and try to stampede the wolves to get away with this threat to their calves. it is a cow instinct)
but i just thought this way of describing this cattle instinct by the museum skansen was funny
skansen about the fjällnära ko
translation: the swedish mountain cattle är friendly animals. but, they can become terrible outraged in one particular situation: when they are defending themselves against wolves and other predators. while other herbivores, like moose and horses, flee when they feel the smell of a wolf or bear, cows will charged towards the predators, while emitting a terrible loud moo.
watch out for the cows, predators of the swedish forest!
[about the swedish mountain cattle]
fjällnära ko is a traditional cow breed from north sweden. they were developed through the ages to be able to survive outside in the cold subartic/near subarctic climare of norrland.
the breed was also traditionally herded as a free range cows, which were moved between winter and summer grazing lands. they were looked after, particulary in the summer, by a female exclusive proffesion of cow herders, fäbodjänta. this traditonal way of raising cows are in swedish called “fäboddrift”.
i educated guess, to why skansen points out them having a good instinct for defending themselves against predators, is that these cows would historically graze freely in forests, were they were. well wolves and bears. being a cow who was good defending themselves against these predators, would therefore be a very very good trait to well. make your entire cow herding thing, keep surviving. therefore, selecting cows with good “stampede wolves” genes would be very beneficial, i am assume.
the second reason they mention it, is i highly suspect, is that not all cows are good at seperating wolves from dogs. or rather, they considering dogs wolves, and treat them as such. a warning about that, can therefore be good to have for a musuem 😛
look out wolves, for the adorble, smoll, and hornless fjällnära ko!
Str8 people are all over the “everyone’s a little bit bi, sweatie ;^)” until the very second they think LGBT people might be flirting with them, or a bi woman or lesbian says “no I will not have a threesome with you”
