This is a thunderstorm, individial umbrellas won't save us.
Community-built shelters can.
Let's build shelters & work on making them as resilient as possible.
Mast 'Let's build means building individual people up too, not just expect peolpe to get together and magically make community - so they become community slowly. For shelters other people come and take it down too... (authority AND community) so it's about mindsets at the same time...
@lavaeolus
It is no longer the material or physical work but the mental and mentality.
A little out of context for emergency but we're always in emergency now...
For example people simply being able to talk to each other online is a start before anything.
Not waiting only for call-outs in emergency...
Not needing names - still people can't do it until it's really their places that's flooded.
People can't see why being friends when you don't have to or mutually protective while progressive IS increasing trust via gradual proof of work and profile online... risk is always there but somehow I think people want 100% perfection / near fascism and they are getting it in the wrong spectrum by wrong people.
It seems any excuse not to built communication itself since people are lacking... and just keep installing tech - the material / equipment stuff not bonding stuff...
It seems off-topic until another emergency happens again (well this one) and resilience is in the mind long-term.
Sorry it seems long - but for sure the work is in the mentality of people constantly NOT there and people investing time into machines and code rather than investing in people to listen and work with people on their terms
- shockingly simple.
Nobody on #Fediverse wants to do this as a daily or weekly attempt to make friends aside from a few comments one-way here and there, not real #friendships or #building at all a new world past spending time and depreciating money while hating the #Trump or whoever on hashtags. I mean grow some brains after a while...
The ability to make #friends / #friendship "for the way" to solve the world is near-gone and people wonder why.
Again so sorry.
Nice post though. No replies in 4days and some virtue-signal boosts... 'yeah done my bit'.
If you don't a reply or in many areas nothing, it confirms it somewhat or totally...
Not putting it all on you but it is about the individuals here...
“To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Buckminster Fuller once said,
"Let's build" means building up and helping people individually too because anyway the mentality for shelters is that other people (authority and community) come and take down so there's that we've seen in many situations.
Time to work on the mind too friend. Thanks for listening.
And then possibly do something with me about it.
Did I say too much? #FreeSchool
