Love / Care in Climate Change messages... 

Caring for kids and communities seems to work as topics to talk about, and goes across all countries, generations, genders, political ideologies.

More than any number or money in the middle between us, talking about more-human things is well. much more human. Other things can make us more angry or bitter because they are much less human or even self-sabotage (like money between us - inflation, false valuation, things just bought, rented and sold- as property not really cared for).
============
Summary:
============
We might get angry or misunderstand but doing what we can for love and caring covers a broad range of emotions... if it's "A Better Place for us / them / the children"

Love as a better framing for change?... 

If Love is such an clearly outstanding frame with which to proceed, then do you have a theory about why we don't see it being used more?

From people saying "Doom" to
more people saying "Love?"....

Time 50mins of / @TransitionShow

Post here: mastodon.energy/@TransitionSho

====================
Why don't we see Love used
more as a frame?
====================

My first sniper instinct says "People care more for profit than people or environment, that's why" which is highly true or indisputable.

Love is maybe not used in a y intellectual sectors like , , and the related bubbles.

are trusted to some extent (but also people over-bombarded) but are also often dispassionate with too much information unrelated to almost anyone.

Baking it into policy is perhaps near impossible and politicians just use it to sell themselves into their next career... rather than anyone ever implement an industry that relies on "this is how it is now" and will be forever if they want to keep power and profit as maximised as possible.

#Capitalism is... ? (Many things or one thing?) 

is... (many things according to many comments below)

From comments on video:

(there is something about this word and it's evolution that is terribly circular but nuances worth mapping out)

💬 Capitalism is excess of wealth, resources, power that's used to make more capital.

💬 Capitalism also has nothing do with volunteering, willfully making choices...

💬 Through capital gains governments/gangs/armies arise which will enforce that groups rule.

💬 Authority arises from accumulation of power which authorities intent is to remove threat to itself, all competition and opposition to itself.

💬 This is heart of capitalism is to remove competition and free trade.. not facilitate its continuation.

💬 When one has produced more than one has need of, and saves the surplus, or exchanges the surplus for something else, one has capitalism.

💬 When one gives what one has produced to another voluntarily, one has charity.

💬 When one has what one has produced taken involuntarily (be it surplus or not) one has experienced theft.

💬 Should one argue against capitalism, that one either argues for charity or for theft.

💬 Capitalism isn't about regulation, it's about investment and return, and may be free or encumbered by legislation.

​ @damiendeecee you don't understand how feudalism created the conditions for capitalistic profit.
feudalism FORCEFULLY created a master servant system with an ARTIFICIALLY large "working class"
the key point is LARGE working class at the bottom.

all human competence shows a bell curve, few at the top and bottom with the majority in the MIDDLE. feudalism created the classic /\ pyramid hierarchy with a LARGER class at the bottom, ARTIFICIALLY as I just explained.
- @Fuji_62

As long as a single group doesn't determine the currency and it's characteristics, capitalism is generally awesome.
- @jasonshults368

Without free banking, a money monopoly will exist, will tax, will destroy the economy. Free banking requires a free country, i.e., no statism (authoritarianism). That exists nowhere.
- @1voluntaryist

[ithadtobesaid on youtube] He is saying that it isnt normal to work long hours and that this is the result of violence and that the rich stole all the resources and have all the money and we have to go work for them our entire life go get money from them. And he is saying that in anarchy noone would use money, people wouldnt trade but own everything commonly, in the same way that grass is available for all deer, i guess. What do you think?
- @cxtxlin_cx

=========================
DEFINITIONS THAT SEEM OK BUT...

💬 Just have a look at the dictionary definition of capitalism. It's simple: private ownership of the means of production.
Larken uses the universal definition.
- @damiendeecee

⚠️ MY COMMENT: Even the simplest version above seems to invoke more "What does X mean - so private ownership means more than just a piece of paper, it's inside a systems what has more and more rabbit holes than just "you own it" and that's it - it has taxes, rules, regulations, government ownership as some other entity above all this (Government registers all underneath it like a membership club allowing it certain "rights" it can do on it's behalf)
And then there is money and external banks which is loaning debt or "money" banks often don't have! (if Capitalism is without money and like someone said more words lots of object for another lots then OK it's A LOT EASIER if they also don't use money) but even Governments and banks working together are political (not just accumulation, but they choose who gets the money, often public money for private development and go on wars and escapades for all of it to circle back again (for conquering more places and people?).
This is the dirty-ness of all of it, not being sure how private and ownership exists without all this as it's hard to cut off global perspective or prospects and contracts by governments to do it's work for them. Money as debt and oppression / cheating it's people and then others... also can't be part of the equation if talking about neutrality of just owning.

Aaaaaaaanyway seems simple but then words often have mmmaaaaaaaany meanings....
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP :mario_flop: !

#Money #Song “Fiat Fire” + NOTES / LYRICS 

“Fiat Fire” - Tay Zonday

invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=QB8fj



==================
BELOW /
==================

Did you know the money you spend destroys the environment?
Let me explain

First Take existing prejudices and centuries of plunder and grift
Call it colonialism pretend you stop by granting Freedom

The poor you leave need society
No one accepts their currency

You offered to loan them money
If your businesses can run free

Your businesses enrich a few thugs
or dirty leaders who are corrupt

They scam their folks with austerity
Low wages in their bad currency

Meanwhile back home you close your factories
You send your people's jobs overseas

So everything gets made far away
Wastes energy to find a cheap wage

[chorus]
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
Spend a dollar euro pound and you're burning the earth
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
You'll never save the world if you don't know the truth

Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
Spend a dollar euro pound and you're burning the earth
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
You'll never save the world if you don't know the truth

[another character interlude]
Fiat fire you are required to help the apocalypse for your survival
Help the Apocalypse for your survival
Help the Apocalypse for your survival

Fiat fire you are required to help the apocalypse for your survival
Help the Apocalypse for your survival
Help the Apocalypse for your survival

You force your currency everywhere
then blame the losers for their despair

Your citizens who struggle for work
cause they compete with currency serfs

Meanwhile the global economy
Waste carbon for fake prosperity

From minerals to factory floors
to everything we buy at the store

To hide your crimes against the species
You bastardize Financial theory

The Ivy League buys your distortion
from Adam Smith to Milton Friedman

You hoodwink people so they believe
your precedents give them agency

They slay and slander your enemies
while you control the chains they don't see

[chorus]
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
Spend a dollar euro pound and you're burning the earth
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
You'll never save the world if you don't know the truth

Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
Spend a dollar euro pound and you're burning the earth
Fiat fire! Fiat fire!
You'll never save the world if you don't know the truth

That's right the Fiat money you spend destroys the environment
what's in your wallet

I don't belong because I'm not for money / debt... 

It's not just what I do. It's Ubuntu (what we do activity / community defines all others to a large extent)

I often feel the opposite is true from the phrase which makes thinking of people doing mistake often in a operating system or see the picture for better sense of people / debt in the equation:

" I don't belong because I'm not for money / debt. "

So other people who are "all in" in that respect (most of you) are therefore blocking me incrementing out something / and are doing something damaging as a mostly money-orientated 'community' not even able to reply to your cause online.
Just donations or nothing.

Not looking to get out of this debt or bad work is bad and worse is not using the free-orientated people which over means you the consent to that "it's ok" or "it's just the way it has to be and I'll have no part to change it" to which I say NO IT DOES NOT WORK. WE SEE IT ALREADY. OPEN YOU EYES.

ARE CREATORS / DEATH BY NUMBERS and the "good" stuff built on that are only aesthetics / false living. Use the free even if we have to use money. Just don't go all in and do "the people work" as much as that might mean re-training yourself to adapt to those people.

"Commodifying the fediverse" - not $elling to companies but $haring with "Partners" #quote 

"Meta never sells user data, right? It says so right there in their Terms of Service. What they do instead is share data with select partners, and some of those partners are advertisers. Sharing user data is part of the value proposition when they sign the ad buy. If Meta can share fediverse data, too, that increases the value of those partnerships. And Threads’ supplemental privacy policy claims the right to do just that."

"Commodifying the fediverse" @kissane / mas.to/@kissane/11160911277986

My TLDR version / interpretation

😆 "Oh not we're not silly- we're all "

😆 You don't even add something to say "no consent" in your bio! like at least to say no !

Admins - User the user mass better in more areas - "Without the users you're fucked / have problems also!" 

If you think about any kind of project - you need mass.

And also users start acting up / finding shitty things to do if you don't give them something to do.

DEEPER / ALT VERSION OF THE ABOVE:

And if you don't "align" people in a kind of human way (through constant talking, heart, mind, soul) and after that down the line getting close to assimilating ourselves (humanity as one species as part of the same whole) then you get people frustrated from not being listened to as individual (yes every single one needs listening to) and people get angry and from lack of better example or training, act up.

Summary
So you users as a challenge or problem either way (same as in life, can't be too defensive, you will lose it all).

THE ANSWER INVOLVES:

1/ Accepting the problem, deal with emotions more personally and through others, some trained some learning from the observing of these things.

2/ Make a way for 2 way communication and not just TEXT as the medium (it loses humanness). So audio and video for those that want and like it / accepting the risk and audio is probably best of all worlds.
Again can't just have text only world and audio over internet to reach human voice is the way.

3/ Continue an education and advice so it's like a school - not just free space.
Everything is political (meaning personal choice with some or no understanding) so it's on us to level up everything indirectly and occasionally directly - to really set things straight.

4/ Use mass and you users for their skill - a lot they offer but simply people haven't taken it - find a way but again humanly else you become cold and so does the work a bit like .

5/ The real work is "the people work" of communication and interaction WITH each other) and everything else falls into place after that...

More later...

- User the mass better in more areas - "Without the users you're fucked / have also!"

#School #Life Story by #FreeSchool 

Story by

People are always going to start untrained, poorly skilled, simply inexperienced... Not saying I have to be the one to train all others either but the main point was either way we start unknowing / without awareness and can't blame too much others for that

BUT some will choose to stay that way so also recognize deliberate bad work.

But for those genuine we have to accept each other being good and bad and build some "thing" that lasts ( for me is that thing but could be any project passing forward the troubles of today in aim of solving it).

STORY ABOUT BEING IN SCHOOL
When I started writing this I remembered people were having fights in school and then really good friends after, I thought how crazy is that - why?
Then I realised they got their emotions out, had a fight to equalise somewhat and deal with things and then after "ok we did that" there was a choice to enjoy each others friendship and even be STRONGER than the distancing other people kept or medium-strong friendship.
Have a fight, then fight together. Life is strange but for some people / main it works.

Sometimes not fighting is worse (bullying, torturing each other)...
At school there wasn't always training each other or explaining to bully and the other to resolve make friends suddenly (I think it could be possible also), so left at young age to yourself I'd say fighting isn't bad... and a good warning to others.

Giving (money) away wiele charging crazy (and being system that trap people ) into needing 'even ; more money... it's the root of all power AND it's accumulation immoral because as debt and loans increase so does the ,problems as it devalues the existing pool of ...
Sates eough to say for ow .nks cheat people# out of _everything_ and cheats everyone connected to money.

You personally don't have to loan to enough devaluation, it's enough for someone in your area or far away to take an acc and slowly the cancer spreeads into all this...

Politics wasn’t ever about solving problems, it was about exploiting them... 

“Politics isn’t about solving any more, it’s about exploiting them.”

- Alastair Campbell quote about the (my inspiration for my version below)

And arguably another version is:

“Politics wasn’t about solving problems ever, it was about exploiting them.”

- about everything that is governed and therefore " " inclined towards them / biased !

(i.e what is governed is and for those governing controllers, powers used in favour of themselves more than everyone else!)

Using Fediverse space to perfect your writing... Like I do! 

I use this Fediverse space to perfect things by writing to actual people 💬 . This works in many ways funnel other things.

First it's all the more real and practical.

Second it's copied to others also either directly or openly available so can spread / be appreciated...

Third it saves a lot of work as done first time almost "without thinking" or "not so serious" so we can choose the best bits and add that to more focused work without thinking much more or it gives us the focus we needed when we we write most of our stuff in the replies anyway and DM others what we really care about.

Ok that's enough from me...
