Julio Hernández López nos comenta:
"Por cierto, la cuenta tuitera de la citada librería on line @leerheidelberg publicó en septiembre pasado: “¡Nos vemos este próximo sábado en Guadalajara, Jalisco!”, en referencia al “ENCUENTRO Nacional y POPULAR EN GUADALAJARA! Patria JusticiaSocial Libertad” que el 24 de ese mes organizaron el Movimiento Nacional Sinarquista y el Frente Nacionalista de México, que proponen: “Ni silencio sumiso de izquierda domada. Ni prédica sin sentido común de derecha liberal”."

Los boletos, con un costo de 1580 pesos (80 dólares), sólo fueron accesibles via la página en internet de la Editorial Heidelberg con sede en Monterrey. La empresa Desperados División ha sido la encargada de la organización del concierto. La nota periodística dice que todo se manejo con hermetismo y ... en redes sociales. Seamos honestos, el Facebook, aka el FachoBook les cobija.

Tres bandas mexicanas que se revindican como parte del movimiento de rock anticomunista participaron. Ellos también revindican la violencia contra anarquistas y personas fuera de la cisheteronorma. Mientras tanto, el gobierno mexicano en su figura del Consejo Nacional para Prevenir la Discriminación asegura que no existen colectivos neonazis.

300+ neonazis se reunieron para un concierto en la ciudad de México en el "Salón Pentatlón" el 29 de Octubre. Mantuvieron la locación en secreto hasta un día antes e implementaron un protócolo para verificar la identidad de los asistentes para evitar disrupciones y lo lograron.

At this moment of rapid expansion of the fediverse I think we should give Switter a thought.
"...Switter existed as a place where moderation decisions were made with consideration of how they would impact sex workers, rather than seeing them as an expendable user base... Switter quickly became a lifesaving refuge for sex workers around the world."
AND was it shut down despite much effort against harmful legislation. This concerns everyone. Sex workers were just the canary in the coal mine.

I lament how much antiblackness there is not only in the fedi. It becomes hard to share anything tangentially black since I fear that it will somehow get black peple targeted for harrasment.

Malthusian myths about how many people can live and thrive on this planet are just neo-eugenics. No matter how many material facts or scientific projections they try throwing in the myth. That such myths are still popular amongst some circles is just a tell on how fucked up those social scenes are. like Academia and Western self proclaimed elites.

Most systems that modern city people rely on are not thought out to maximize well being, but social control. To limit human potential to what is possible under such circumstances is a mistake. We could have so much more. But capitalism... That is the real limit we are living under.

I often think about my city before colonization. The advanced tech and science that made this city an edible garden. More than 5 centuries of resistance later, all is not lost. I have reasons to hope, while I weep for all that is forever lost.

I would never deny the impact human activity has had on our Earth. It is totally fair to lament the negative impact of industrialization. But please do not loose sight of how much bigger the Sun is in relation to our Planet, when talking about what might be triggering planetary scale climate change. The whole of the Solar System is feeling it.
Misattributing the cause is about financial interest, the same interest that destroyed so many ecosystems and peoples, which just got a new excuse for centralizing power and resources.

Talking "facts" is meaningless if one looses sight of scale. Making false equivalents, taking things out of proportion, and making false associations is not debating, no matter how much fact based. Scale is not about interpretation.

In the coming times of economic hardship, destigmatizing sexwork should take a priority. Punishing people that do sexwork or their clients is punishing poverty and consent. I hope that people that explore sexwork as an alternative income know that there are networks and ways to reduce possible risk and harm. That they have rights because they are workers and sexwork does not devalue them.

Since I was young, I have been proud to have some friends that according to some "looked like hoes". When I was still child, and some of my friend were still girls, they were getting sexualized by adults and older kids and told that they somehow were trying to appear seductive. Harrassed.
And I can assure all: it was not about the type of clothes they wore, or how they behaved. It was about some people, specially racialized and fat folks, being read as sexually explicit, pornographic.
My young friends knew it was wrong and stood up for themselves and since then I revere people that fight against oppression.
I hope for a future where we no longer stigmatize sex work, sex workers and their clients. In which a child can hope to grow up to be a sex worker without getting reprimanded.

I think that STEM people tend to lean into "beyond left and right" perspective. Sometimes the "beyond left and right" scenes are just hooks into right wing propaganda. But sometimes they lead to opportunities to analyze beyond the usual talk points. I think Dr Shiva accomplishes that on his last videos on the current geopolitical situation.

Telling someone off can be a right response given the right prelude. It can actually be quite beautiful. Like punching back.

Showing anger is believed by some to be inherently violent. Others make room for it depending on the situation. However, it can be violent to demand people repress their emotions to suit your comfort or that they not defend themselves when it inconveniences you.

Inadequate responses often lack scale. A response being out of proportion to what triggered it is not necessarily in denial of what happened it, but the usage of scales might be way off.

Even when the situation did not "demand" it, showing anger is okay. Anger is just an emotion, but who decides how it should be expressed? Some scenes decide to right out banish it. Others limit it. Because it serves a purpose.

Instead of focusing on whether it is proportional, we can figure out what triggered it and what can be done about it instead of ignoring it or shoving it under the rug. Showing anger can be disruptive and we can make room for that and benefit from it.

Even if such an expression is retrospectively out of proportion, opportunities might arise. Misunderstandings may be cleared out and the usage of scales, because they were tested may be improved. Embrace disruption, moving on is actually easier if we collectively make room for big emotions.
