Do you really think there is such a neat line between "part of the problem" and "part of the solution"?
Everyone is part of the problem, actually I don't think there is, a line, it's a matter of grade.

And, I probably didn't manage to mark my point here, I am not saying protesting does not have an impact, I was saying that what I saw was counterproductive, irritating, and badly done. You want to move masses? You don't sing for shooting other people, or make death threats. I simply can't walk along those people. And all the points I touched still stand.

Even here, I won't be sure as you are on considering protesting "the only way", this being a very complex matter on every level, and solutions are not that obvious, IMHO

@SeventhMagpie Thank you very much for your links, I really appreciate it. And youtube is the best for me!

@whirli All but boring, Sibelius is nice, thanks. Can you understand the lyrics?

@SeventhMagpie I knew Danse Macabre but I never heard the Venezuela Youth Orchestra. Talented youngsters, this sounds good!

@queeranarchism@anarchism.space
This blog is awesome, thanks!

Dear people,
would you recommend me some #classicalmusic?
Any period, any style, any country, really classical, or experimental, whatever. Whole symphonies or just single movements.
Just give it to me!

@BernieOrVest@mastodon.social I'm not much into US politics, sorry, I may not get all the references.
I'm not denying human caused climate change, the need for action or the importance of changing policies, if that is your point.
I am just sharing my feeling towards the people I met at the strike, and how counterproductive, aggressive and uninformed they seemed to me.

@Downes

Hi, why do you reckon polite, educated people are all ignoring the evidence or acting in they own interests? Do you need to shout for death of other people to be a "true" right-doer?

To be totally fair, protesters I talked to were also wrong on a number of things, from ecology to waste disposal. That is, when they actually said what they thought, instead of just shouting empty slogans. That again may also be due to the age, many were really young.

To be clear, I've seen you went to the climate strike in your place and I hope people there were nice and more mature.
I didn't want to insult or say that everybody is like that... it is just the overall experience I had here, in this town, with that people.

@uniq
Great job, they look so much more friendly and readable like this!

@fossviking

Do you mean an app has been banned from Fdroid for political reasons?

Well, "not being very polite" is a bit of an euphemism for shouting to put people to death because of a political idea.
Don't get me wrong, if that would prove to actually solve some problems I could at least consider it as a good idea, but as far as I can see it's counterproductive. For example, I do not want to have anything to do with them.

And articles like this are a good example of stuff that people quote to look very well informed, but when you go and ask details and cast the light of doubt (as doubt is not a shadow, really) on the matter you become "one of them".

I'm sure there are beautiful people around that know what they are doing. My experience so far with the environmental movements, in which I've been for years, has been utterly disastrous.

I passed by the #climatestrike yesterday here in Naples. I really can't feel like I belong to this movement.

* I don't like slogans, and the ones I heard were pretty violent, including death threats to right wing people, and far left typical songs.
Anger was the feeling I perceived the most, which may biased because angry people shout the most.

* People knew a lot about climate and environment. That is, until you ask questions. There is no place for doubts in this climate action.

* The traffic was stopped by a human wall. I had to exchange insults and raise my bicycle to get past the fu**ing barricade.

* I do not know how to feel when kids, like 12 yo, engage in such political actions. I still feel like they are too young to really get what's happening.

I'd like to repost a picture that @freemo posted a long while ago

@ae
Who is this guy? Beautiful pic!

@freemo
Have you seen this interpretation as racist symbol in Europe too? Being in Italy I had no clue

@tsturm
Thanks, I'll give this a try!
@readsteven

There should be some kind of Parental Advisory notice for love stories with a painful breakup.

@federicomena what's the benefit against a author-album structure? You can assign multiple tags and make automated playlists, that kind of things?

@federicomena I didn't know this composer, awesome stuff!
Thanks for sharing, I'll gather more of his music
