    1. the people set up local solar collection grids
    2. the state gets mad as the state ultimately represents the interests of the petrochemical industry (the state is almost universally a petrostate)
    3. the state implements a system of taxes and subsidies to reduce the economic efficacy of solar panels
    4. when enough people maintain their solar panels, the state resorts to its usual mechanism for enforcement: violence
    5. the people, confronted with the violence of the state must either submit to the power of the state or respond to the violence of the state with violence of their own

    idk if i succeeded or failed






  • That’s close, but not quite correct

    Guilt helps people change. Shame gets them to more deeply entrench themselves into their current behaviors because they’re going to seek out ways to alleviate that shame through social connections that alleviate the pain of shame. The thing to understand is that guilt is a feeling of wrong doing, and shame is a feeling of lacking social value. When deprogramming someone from their previously held propagandized views, you have to give them an avenue to travel from their current position to where they are going. They need the opportunity to apologize and make amends. This is the process for atonement.

    All that said, you also have to not give out too many chances. That just lets people continue to perpetuate their harm. If someone shows no sign of being willing to go through the atonement process you have to find ways to keep your community safe from the things that they do. How to do that is a discussion for another forum. Mostly in person discussions in mutual aid or community defense space, as this process is also context dependent.



  • What I am about to say is effectively a power upvote, but this is in direct alignment with what my Ukrainian friend who fought in Ukraine’s civil was has to say about these things. She hates Azov’s integration but in this current moment still finds herself sending money to United24 because even though she once sat on a rooftop with a rifle, she feels that the best way to keep her sister alive is to support the national army that once tried to de-legitimize her resistance and integrated her enemies.

    The way she’s put it is that her objection to the far right militia’s was that they were fundamentally bigots and she cannot abide racists. The russian army presents in her home a foreign occupying imperial military which in many ways is bigots, racists, and then more insidiousness on top of all that. I haven’t really talked about her here on lemmy for a long time because it gets exhausting being told she was a CIA asset


  • i’m always excited to recommend it! there’s probably nothing more influential or more driving to my ethical-political outlook on the world than her and Carol Gilligan. it is not strictly speaking an anarchist text but it is extremely influential in modern anarchist circles.

    it’s also SUCH a departure from so much prior male driven philosophical examinations of ethics, and it really opens some eyes about what becomes possible and how the world can be different when people with hegemonic privilege shut the fuck up and listen for a minute. it made all that time i wasted studying philosophy in college worth it haha (by my senior year when i met my philosophical mentor i was feeling really depressed and jaded about what a waste of time studying philosophy had been as i was facing the prospect of never having a well paying job and not knowing what to do about how fucked the world is all the time)





  • status. part of the impetus of the development of piefed was a frustration with how the lemmy devs treated people who tried to get onboarded to help with the development of lemmy. i can go into more depth about how this is a reflection of how the lemmy devs see the world, but i don’t necessarily feel like hashing all that out when i have bigger fascists to fry

    phone apps can’t use activity pub as that’s a server protocol so if you want a good mobile interface you generally speaking need a rest-y api that an application can query. yes, lemmy and piefed both feature PWA frontends that can be installed to your homescreen, however on older phones this can be an extremely suboptimal experience as PWAs tend to require more RAM than native apps.

    wildly unhelpful, @[email protected] . you’ve jumped straight back into reinforcing false binaries. i agree that the person you are replying to is in the wrong, but caping for authoritarianism is NOT OKAY.

    you could just leave it at that a foreign occupying nation enacting an extraction economy on a people is wrong, immoral, unjust, and doesn’t bring anyone closer to liberation. instead you “pray for [someone’s] oppression”

    i’m going back to blocking you and this community, but i’m going to ask you this. what do you want the world to be? just a bunch of campist fighting so long as you get to attack some liberals? enjoy. i want no part of it. i want to build a better world from the ashes of the old rather than renewing past mistakes.

    accelerationism, making things worse for people, does not bring us closer to liberation. working and organizing into a robust movement of the people does. we cannot be free as long as we’re all just picking which imperial dictator’s to support rather than working together to burn them all down
