Joel Salatin thinks raising healthy chickens for eggs to sell can work just about anywhere near a big town or larger population.. _Pastured Poultry Profits_ .. you might be able to design their shelters, coops or whatever so that you can remain seated most of the time.. I read the being seated a lot isn't healthy though..

> Most people are easy prey for propaganda, Ellul says, because of their firm but entirely erroneous conviction that it is composed only of lies and “tall stories” and that, conversely, what is true cannot be propaganda. But modern propaganda has long disdained the ridiculous lies of past and outmoded forms of #propaganda. It operates instead with many different kinds of truth—half truth, limited truth, truth out of context. Even Goebbels always insisted that Wehrmacht communiqués be as accurate as possible.

> この曲をシェアするにあたり、スプリングスティーンはこう述べています。
> 「ミネアポリスで引き起こされた国家によるテロ行為に対して、俺はこの曲を先週土曜日に書きあげ、昨日レコーディングして、今日皆さんに向けて公開した。この曲をミネアポリスの人々と、俺たちの罪なき隣人である移民の皆さん、そして今は亡きアレックス・プレッティとレネ・グッドに捧げる。決して自由を手放すな、ブルース・スプリングスティーン」
> 一緒に公開されている歌詞には、ミネアポリス市街を蹂躙する事件当時のICEの様子が生々しく綴られ、「国土安全保障省所属のキング・トランプの私設軍隊（King Trump’s private army from the DHS）」という一行も見えます。今回立て続けに起こったICEによる２つの発砲事件で命を落とした2人の犠牲者の名前もそのまま織り込まれており、リフレインではミネアポリスの人々に対する連帯と移民たちに対する擁護が明確に歌われています。 https://www.musiclifeclub.com/news/20260129S_02.html

> 強い楽曲となる #抗議ソング「Streets of Minneapolis」をサプライズでリリースした。【ロックの殿堂】入りアーティストは声明で、この楽曲は1月24日に書かれ、1月27日に録音されたもので、「ミネアポリスの街に向けて行われている国家主導の弾圧」に対する反応として制作したと説明している。
> 自身が尊敬するフォーク界の伝説的存在である故ウディ・ガスリーの伝統に連なる形で、同曲の歌詞は、トランプ政権が実施する、ときに激しい暴力を伴う移民摘発に市民が立ち向かい、街の通りで繰り広げられている激しい衝突の様子を率直かつ力強く描いている。とりわけ、今月これまでに国境警備および米移民・税関執行局（ICE）の捜査官による暴力的行為により、37歳で3児の母だったレネ・グッドと、37歳の集中治療室看護師だったアレックス・プレッティという2人の米国市民が殺害されたことに言及し、彼らの行為に目を向けている。
> 　#スプリングスティーンはこの楽曲をミネアポリスの人々、そして“罪なき移民の隣人たち”、さらにグッドとプレッティの記憶に捧げた。『ネブラスカ』風の切迫したロック・ソングである本曲は、スプリングスティーンの憤りのこもった歌声と最小限の伴奏から始まる。

I think there's an Upton Sinclair(?) quote about something like that... how hard it is to get someone to believe something is an injustice if their.job depends on it...

> 　ベネズエラでは、20世紀に入って世界最大の埋蔵量を誇る石油が国家経済の根幹になるが、この石油利権をアメリカの石油メジャーと国内の一部の寡頭支配層（富裕層や労組）が独占していた。こうなると国にどれだけの恵みがあっても人々はそれに預かることができない。
> 　こういう経済構造を今は「 #ネオリベラリズム（ #新自由主義）」という。富は「持つ者」のところにしか流れていかず、「持たない者」はどんどん失っていき、その結果は「自己責任」とされる。持つ者たちは「われわれには統治する責任がある」といって政治の実権を握り、さらに社会の富を吸収していく。こうなると国は「 #ガレー船」になる。

Hi I was wondering if you've every seen anything about the Indonesian Punk Band Marjilan? I heard of them through a great local Folk/Punk band (family), NanbuShiki. Jinta, the lyric-writer, organizer, gottan-player for NanBuShiki told me that Marjilan houses and works with street kids and music. I started following their IG account but can't read Indonesian. It looks like the work DIT (Do It Together) micro-food production in a slum in addition to concerts... Your post made me think of them and "Rebel Riot" in Myanmar "Buddha is Punk"..

Chomsky used to mention how the USA was off the charts with religious fundamentalism compared to other advanced(?industrialized?) countries.. He thought it was because the rich monopolists sorts of guys were funding evangelists for generations..... People shouldn't be worried about their welfare in this life or something...

> It would seem that “pragmatism” in the minds of the country’s establishment punditocracy means not the dictionary definition of “dealing with a problem in a sensible way that suits the conditions that really exist,” but instead something more like “upholding the status quo.”

Did you ever wonder if wasting energy is some sort of status hang-up? The more you can waste the greater you are.. I still haven't read _The WasteMakers_ but maybe the book would help me work out this idea that the economy has been about destructive waste for decades.. The AI Salami absurdities might just make the waste-based approach harder to ignore...

> The people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the only people to have been directly attacked by nuclear weapons. However, since then there have been more than 2,000 nuclear weapons detonated in tests. The communities downwind from those test sites did not suffer direct attack, but rather, were exposed to radioactive fallout from the mushroom clouds as they drifted.
