So...because a few thousand people want to live better than any person in most of human history could possibly conceive, we're all gonna die?
And the normies are cool with this?
I feel fairly confident that almost everyone reading this is not. So I ask you once again.
It's 1933 again. WTF are we going to do about it?!?
How do we convince the people starting to realize that #fascism is a problem that #billionaires and #oligarchs are the root cause that needs to be yanked out?
I'm thinking that we need to use #art as a weapon & deploy clever art installations, signs, stickers & chalk art in public places.
Got any other suggestions besides the also important protests, pressure on elected officials, boycotts & union support?
What about examples or ideas for #ActivistArt? Want to join an artist's federation or start your own #ArtFED?
"I'm your huckleberry."
What are your thoughts on @gretathunberg and her climate activism?
Poll ended, thanks for participating!
#Introduction with a billion #hashtags...
I'm Alba, a #trans #nonbinay #bisexual #autistic #vegan #antifascist #activist from #Nijmegen, #NL. In addition to my #autism, I've also got #ADHD, #hyperlexia, related auditory processing and executive function issues, #aphantasia and #SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory). I'm an IT #tech at a large #international company, a volunteer for the #radical #intersectional #anticapitalist #political party #BIJ1 and a freelance #translator. I speak #Nederlands, #français, #English, #Deutsch and #Esperanto. I play #saxophone - I have a bari sax, a tenor sax and a soprano sax. I also have a #flute and a #ukelele but I don't play those nearly as well as the saxes. I love playing #TTRPG like #DnD5e and #PF2e, and I have two #cats, an orange slonk called Hobbes and a void chonk called Nita.
I used to hang out on mastodon.lol until early 2023 when that instance shut down. I then moved to todon.nl and recently decided to hop on to blahaj.zone
@SnowshadowII I've racked my brain on this, but it's a moving goalpost. We're in a perfect storm where people's feeds (reality) is so personalized that it's going to take creative thinking & new approaches.
Off the top of my head, I think it's going to take IRL public displays of various types. An unreal amount of peaceful demonstrators, too big to ignore. More public projections like the German Tesla factory musk bazi salute. Flash mobs doing interesting enough things for the videos to go viral & linking to things like this to get more people on the fediverse. Plastering public areas, telephone poles with the same or art with qr code to something specific. Chalk & banksyesque spray chalk with stencils. Spread the word of John & Joan Mastodon. They're our Ned Ludd.

Hello. I am Bishop Greer Godsey. I am an Old #Catholic NOT Roman Catholic bishop. I am #nonbinary, #pansexual, and #polyamorous.
I have seen 45 rotations around Sol. Despite suffering from major #depressive #disorder, generalized #anxiety disorder, and #CPTSD I still manage to hold out hope for a better tomorrow.
I am on a major #weight #loss journey. As a #diabetic with #arthritis in my spine and congestive #heart #failure, I started making huge changes to my life. I started a once-a-week injectable for my diabetes. In a little over a year, I lost 110 lbs (459-349). My arthritis is not causing as much pain, but there are days.
I am the proud parent to a #transgender daughter who is an #activist and SJ Warrior. (I taught her everything I know. The rest she got from her mom!) Together our family stands up for the rights of all people. We fight for the rights of the #LGBTQIA community, people of color, and women.
