A friend who likes to keep tabs on right-wing culture is scrolling through gab and observes that nobody there notices or cares what Gavin Newsom has to say. He said it's pathetic how Democrats are trying so hard to court these people and it's not even working.
Thing is, when Democrats court the right wing, it's not even about them-- winning over conservatives is NOT the point.
It's about normalizing the rightward march with the Democratic base.

These fuckers recommended never giving an infant ANY physical contact beyond the bare minimum required to feed them and keep them alive.
No comfort. No affection.
As if love is a disease, to be stamped out.
Cruelty is their religion.

My neighbor was running his muscle car on the other side of this wall close to my head the other day for an HOUR. Just, why.

When they started airing Koch-funded ads after Gingrich cut their funding in 1994, I stopped counting on them for much of anything.

Bullshit.
Ever met a bully? The minute you actually hurt them for real, they freak out. They are cowards, and they can't handle it.
Logistically, it's extremely difficult to subjugate a population as large and heavily armed as the US. They are NOT prepared for that shit in any serious way. If every ICE raid gets met by a furious neighborhood that sends them the fuck packing, oh sure in a few places they'll try to make an example of coming down hard but they do NOT have the capacity to keep it up if enough people step up in enough places. Those 4k national guard they sent to LA had nowhere in particular to sleep, no food, and no orders. It was a sloppy half-assed publicity stunt.
The more people take every little performative show of force as a reason to meekly bow our heads and do as we're told, the better their intimidation campaign works.
NOTHING GOOD comes from backing down and standing around for it when an oppressive government comes to abduct your friends and neighbors. Isn't the main lesson from fascist takeovers of the past that people really should've resisted harder, sooner??

You expect complete understanding?
This is a combination of many, many different devastating factors all amounting to a perfect storm we call the 6th Great Extinction. How is anyone supposed to "completely" understand the interaction of pesticides AND viral diseases AND parasites AND deranged weather AND...

We tend to assume that capitalism is supposed to be based on competition, and that any products/companies/etc that are morally bad or unsustainable would tend to fail or be outcompeted by better things. But that invisible hand just keeps grabbing short-term gains fuck all consequences and everybody just... ignores that part. We keep acting as if there's checks or balances that would prevent everything from spinning into absolute destruction-- but no such mechanism is allowed.

I've been telling people that zucchini is the gateway to socialism. Growing food naturally leads to sharing surplus and trading ingredients and help. Cooperating around food is such a core human activity, I think it's really instinctive. We've been alienated from that and each other for a long time.
The system is going to do everything it can-- including, no doubt, intentionally poisoning large swaths of land-- to keep us desperate and divided. It's high time to get involved in community supported agriculture and push in the better direction.

This is where permaculture, greywater recycling, composting toilets, simple superadobe type construction etc can potentially save many lives IF enough people can work together to help refugees build homes and cultivate food.
We can either build new, sustainable communities where people can survive-- or prison camps where people will die in large numbers.

Every meal we can provide for ourselves, is one more piece of resilience we have in the face of a crisis.

That's not us doing something about it.
That's us expecting Democrats to do something about it for us.

You are awesome!
That profile looks empty now, I wonder if this is a glitch or if they just actually did something to their posts or what. Tried to follow again and still not showing up in my follow list. Weird and unsettling.

Pretty sure the booster was you, @npub129f…qe6x, thanks I'm glad I got to read it-- you remember who it was?

I was reading this incredibly long thread from the admin of an online text game talking about stuff they've learned about community moderation over the years. It was witty and insightful and very interesting. I favorited a heap of the posts, and bookmarked it-- I know I bookmarked it-- and followed the account AND their newer account too, and now I can't find it in my follow list. Nothing in my bookmarks or favorites shows it. Can't remember the person's account name or the name of the game they were running.
Found the person whose boost put it in my feed to begin with, but it's not showing up on their timeline either. Not even when I check from the browser.
I was going to send a link to my bestie but now am bereft.

Wow!
Looked em up, apparently it's an eastern thing and California is worried about what they might do if they get loose here. Guess I probably won't be trying them anytime soon.

Well, this isn't sounding good... But I can't see @Radical_EgoCom's posts at all anymore. Maybe they blocked me for saying their recent posts were starting to sound like tankie shit...?

I've been thinking about Typhoid Mary.
She is literally THE reason we figured out being an asymptomatic carrier is a thing. It was a major scientific breakthrough.
And then she went right back to what she'd been doing before, infecting more people. More people died.
They locked her up for it.
And once she got out, she went RIGHT BACK to what she'd been doing before (namely, preparing and serving food with infectious fecal matter on her hands), and more people died.
So they locked her up AGAIN.
All because she couldn't even be bothered to wash her fucking hands after using the bathroom.

I post some heavy shit. But there's a very good reason I have so little patience with the horrible crap going on all around us:
Solutions exist.
All of the energy and resources being poured into endless war right now, need to be aimed instead towards projects like this.
It is possible to rehabilitate large-scale ecosystems. Enough carbon could be sequestered this way, to actually return us to pre-Industrial levels.
I grew up with my father, an engineer, constantly explaining in detail the short-sighted flaws in how many things are done all around us, and how it could be fixed by people willing to do things the right way.
This is why I'm so fired up. We can do so much better than the pathetic fate we're expected to resign ourselves to. The Paris Accords don't come close. The oh-so-greenwashed infrastructure act and inflation reduction act are laughable next to the scale of what needs to be done. People who promote net zero scams and blather about tech miracles are dodging the issue and wasting our time. They think 3C increase is acceptable. They will let us burn. They are liars who want you to believe I'm trying to discourage you by pointing out the flaws in what's happening. The opposite is true.
Solutions exist. There is hope.
Corporate toadies of the fossil fuel industry don't want us to realize it-- nothing else is so dangerous to the tyranny of the status quo, as the realization that solutions exist. It's an enormous job, but we CAN do it if enough resources are directed the right way.
And every little bit counts.
Your yard, your neighbor's yard, the median, the ditch, empty lots-- anywhere. Everywhere. Build topsoil. Like our lives depend on it. They do.
Build connections, trust, friendships. Repair things. Find people with good hearts, people who are building something real. People who talk about work like this:
