This isn't a minmax problem. There is no best way to defeat fascism. There is no one thing that will do the trick.

We need tens of thousands, we need *millions* of acts of resistance. And every single one of them will help, and every single one of them will be insufficient.

Nobody can carry a stone big enough to outweigh the power and hatred of fascism.

But the scale doesn't care whether it's one stone, or a hundred, or a thousand, or a million.

Bring your pebble.

Keep actively messaging to reply and value people's existence to keep in touch.

With me for example I can send you a link to chat most of the day, simple 3 clicks, no app, no install. Instant!

We can't just follow people always and then forget all of them like just because you have 100's like bookmarks ! !

Waiting for Rupert Murdoch to die... Awph... 94yrs old...

Hurry up Keith! Have to celebrate while I'm still alive!

He's going to outlive us all !

Maybe I will buy something as a farewell...

📰 A newspaper? (owns them all)
📺 TV News or a Film (owns them all)
📚 A book? (but he owns them al! ! * ok maybe only a few like etc)

Short version - basically he owns them all ! :pokeball: :poke_ball_shake:

=====================
*Some of what he own / owned*:
=====================

United Kingdom (The Sun and The Times), in Australia (The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, and The Australian), in the United States (The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post), book publisher HarperCollins, and the television broadcasting channels Sky News Australia and Fox News (through Fox Corporation).

He was also the owner of 📺 📺 (until 2018), 🎞️ 🎞️ (until 2019), and the now-defunct 🌐 News of the World 🌐

With a net worth of US$21.7 billion as of 2 March 2022, 💰 💰

Murdoch is the 31st person in the United States and the 71st richest in the world according to .[5]

Due to his extensive wealth and influence over media and politics, Murdoch has been described as an .[6][7][8]

this is not a particularly new or original take but #rupertmurdoch is probably one of the top 5 human beings who is singularly most #responsible for the #fact that the #world is such a shithole today

@kevinrns @gcvsa Well, ok I got some good points from that...

Fair points about and not always the direct problem...

I think the answer is "a mixture of both sides" and "both sides" are correct as the answer.

Here's my case, if you want to helps us both in answering:

⭐ 1/ Do you accept more people (children) = more pollution (yes a bit / not all),

If not, then not sure what to say more.

i.e. more people = more energy

(doesn't me 0 children in future but the above is true, yes?)

(children need more food / fuel-powered 'stuff', tons of accessories etc)

2/ If you are blaming rich people and not the medium-rich or anyone with monetary power (even the poor) then I'm not sure what to say as ALL have to some extent power to how they spend money (some rich or poor simply don't care enough)

Conclusion - while children might be good or a right, also choosing consciously is a right when we have enough children and adults (x3 total population since only 100 years which effects everyone no matter where you are as it's a knock on energy (war) effect for resources).

When you create children you create opportunity FOR and NEED later for them to go to companies / corporation and feed off / etc who ALL do the climate change for them / us

So you skip that by skipping children OR JUST HAVING LE$$ - maybe this wasn't clear at beginning. Not saying 0 or no children.

And here's my points in reply to support your side...

➡️ REPLY 1/
YES rich people do bad things...

but we people and our support them so that's also related to population even though they might do it without us (which was your point).

➡️ REPLY 2/
Yes stuff will still be burned anyway...

BUT it's THEIR PROJECTIONS / measurement BASED ON numbers that they burn (i.e. if there were 1billion less they would burn less or doesn't make sense to spend more if nobody uses it)

➡️ REPLY 3/
A million more homes...

DOES CAUSE CLIMATE CHANGE
(maybe not "storms" but it's ALL is part of planet even earthquakes from taking up all the water or movement of resources... it's NOT DISCONNECTED or just rich in the chain by themselves - we spend it - it's for us / our children that they do things and would do things less if less people here to profit from and not paying them )

➡️ REPLY 4/
Blame any company for problems...

But people have to go work for someone or else die right (from lack of money). This is current system...

So less children = less working for bullshit companies / less working for bad people just to stay alive/

So I think we can conclude the debate on some of these points unless you have direct reply to each. Thank you.

hasn't been the most dynamic for others or making it easier (coming from it's a high bar)

BUT these things have helped more visibly / consistently:

➡️ dual booting (via )
➡️ ( booting / no install)
➡️ Tutorials and individuals

Any other things have helped most?

What other things have helped more than and individual online?

@nuukaset @gcvsa Existing children = ok

New children = not needed / too much / too many (and don't exist yet).

You'll get 1 more reply if it's is same as your originally reply - bringing personal remarks as many as coherence isn't progressing much.

@kim_harding yeah fuck cars! Get rid of car then get a car? That doesn't make sense. It should also be rather than merely change lightbulbs, to scale back on energy consumption and internet usage.

@kim_harding also below for people to read (not as clear inside picture's AltText)

Image headline says:

What can we do personally to reduce emissions?

We need to get average yearly global emissions per person down to 2.1 tonnes CO2e

(CO2e = carbon dioxide equivalent = a unit for combining all greenhouse gas emissions in one measure)

Chart shown below with pink bars, title reads: Genuinely Impactful Actions with amout saved per year. X axis scale in onnes CO2e saved per year.Longest bar first reads: Drop the car (bus, train, bike, walk) [saving -2.4 tonnes]

Next bar: Take fewer flights (per one round trip trans-atlantic) [saving -1.6 tonnes]

Next bar: Purchace green energy [saving -1.4 tonnes]

Next bar: Buy a more efficient car (with better fuel economy & maintainance) [saving -1.2 tonnes]

Next bar: Switch to a plant-based diet (vegan ideal, vegetarian helps too) [saving -0.8 tonnes]

Next bar: Hybrid car [saving -0.4 tonnes]

Next bar: Reduce food waste [saving -0.37 tonnes]

Next bar: Plant a tree [saving -0.3 tonnes]

Next bar: Wash clothes in cold water [saving -0.25 tonnes]

Next bar: Reduce meat [saving -0.23 tonnes]

Next bar: Hang clothes to dry [saving -0.21 tonnes]

Next bar: Recycling [saving -0.21 tonnes]

Next bar: More efficient home heating (smart thermostats are the way to go) [saving -0.18 tonnes]

Last bar: Change change lightbulbs to LEDs [saving -0.1 tonnes]

#FuckCars they are literally killing the planet...

"Cars are literally killing the planet" 

@kim_harding
I admit it's powerful and staring us in the face daily.

are literally killing the

, , is direct impacted

At the same time I'd like to see people say this and fuck that less.... because it's a little too much like asking for no cars or to damage them INSTEAD of nicely needing to reduce that towards calmer transition because anyway we can't them (if it means getting rid of etc)... and better we reduce (also gives us ideas for other ideas in its place an literally can be life and death or cause trouble to solve one thing). So a is also a collection of things that need solving (both reduce and increase other ways to it / render it useless so even if someone gave it free you'd be like "I already have XYZ way no thanks don't need it").

So instead of "fuck" (which I understand as an expression etc and don't want to over-intellectualise) maybe is more realistic controlled word and kind of lets viewer / reader have less of that and more to themselves as "fuck, I didn't know cars are more damaging than on earth / in the + / etc)

It's like too much fuck this fuck that everywhere (even fuck etc is too much) and so I think I was looking for real even balanced focus for determined people who will be shocked or not just to say fuck to themselves if it really hits home rather than too much like wanting to damage more things.

I've personally kicked side-mirrors off cars when younger and well it's not the way though it might have hit the point about how I feel after the pub.

@hunterw.bsky.social Check my posts on my hashtag please for similar sentiments people don't get about or even following wrong and not really being "" - so I'd like to chat with anyone out there willing to increment trust and build something rather than throw stones or stay waiting for rich to change things...

Invitation to you also reading this... we need to just chat it out and find mutuality... that's the real work not the superstars of news doing the same thing all over again... Let's (I can send you an easy link, no extra tech needed).

Posting is *not activism* Making posts belittling other peoples' activism is *really not activism* Radical posturing can be fun but if there's nothing behind it, it's just posturing.
