Schumacher College News 2024 - RIP ✝️ Stephan Harding ✝️ 

@nuria @DarkOptimism @VoxDei Thank you so much - It's exactly that spirit I would like to grow, even between us on Fediverse (and then beyond if we want) and build on passions and good things more than distrust and distance from strangers who can be converted into friends...
Friends and friendly people for the way... perhaps not perfectly said but seems not far off !

We can all carry a bit of everything inside... I'll for sure be happy to listen to anyone who cares...

Nazi Party near Berlin? (in 2024 Germany ?) 

If a Nazi Party really has won over 30% of the votes in the state around Berlin and two south of it, according to post link below, then that is worrying and perhaps telling of others inversely looking at you or non-players - who are simply people that don't discuss to any heated or constructive level and play into whatever leaders decide unquestioned, keeping comfort.

Good people also leave things to shit - you have the first TLDR.

TLDR; Nazism is almost the inverse of what good people don't do at all.

🌿 :autumnleaf8: 🌱 Much like never doing the weeding and then crying your garden (or country) is overgrown full of idiots - it doesn't cut it to play life like that 🙈 . It might be not perfect in saying everyone but running the same simulation = good people leaving it to others and even they are funded by them from passively complying to Nazi-like people. So what do you expect? Someone to do the gardening for you?

Not to blame 'everyone' here but fuck do I want to and say 99% of everyone I've ever met.

Perhaps I should say "from my own experience of people''s 'engagement' personally IN THEIR OWN LIFE AND WORKPLACE or otherwise... they are simply playing along / never challenging even what they are allowed to in their own company code of conducts for how people speak to them... they take it - possibly forever...

DO I NEED EVIDENCE? It is evident in daily life around what we / you are actually doing AND REALLY NOT DOING (that's really my focus here).

So ask yourself what are you NOT DOING? (and watch the list increase for your own answers not just mine... ✔️ ) ... ↙️

People are largely non-players in a lot of things... here's a hashtag for it.

IS THAT A HUGE "GUESS?" let's say it's judged by observation AND daily design of life incrementally forced on us and yes and evolved over time - so you knew that much.... but still what did you do about it?

To build something else need likewise some increment and "will power".

So ONLY waiting until something is EMERGENCY OR BROKEN comes into my mind for how people do things... until it comes into your face would you care what's happening ?

This position is frankly stupid if you have seen anything in history before that is reoccurring with power and control. To assume the best in that is sadly mistaken and a excuse usually to take the easy way. Even knowing those uncaring in government are providing you life BADLY should be some fuel in your pants -

YES it's all bad and it's the daily driving to work or business of making money (for others mostly) and being taxed that helps fascism eventually or simply whichever government that really doesn't care and uses anyone they can pay and control to politically keep power and with police-type powers (officially or unofficially).

A job is about not caring for a lot and specifying / specializing people in the worst way usually so they stay in their lanes.

"It's just my job" a bailiff once said to me. Indeed. What other jobs are there when you cut bakc every other job - policing / heavy arms right?

If you're already ok and started a family based on that kind of government who will use ANYTHING from hospitals to child benefit to cheat and twist as much profit you and it's workers who are knowing about it all, treating them as disposable until the next lot come in fresh, then you can see it's not only the bad people fault...

Sure keep working but don't let that stop you working for the good sides also.

OTHERWISE THEY will keep barely keeping it's own workforce like zombies... I would say half-alive half-xombies ... only to go into battle every day.

How can people work without "looking up" and actually planning to do something about it?

Pensions? "Ah SORRY you need to be 96 before you get that while we use your money as like a loan meantime ...
(💸 🤑 cha-ching! 🤑 💸 )

So whichever government you're inside and importantly HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS DOING what -

take your Nazism and weed overgrowth and PERHAPS [INSERT YOUR INSULT HERE]

Politely you're probably paying for those you have no idea about Nazis and those in companies like yours which have a Führer (leader -someone who is ahead of others). So all is nearly-Nazi anyway with these government-to-company formations like children and subsidiary of a uncaring group.

Good people need to DO SOMETHING MORE and MAKE THIS THEIR BUSINESS ALSO TO KEEP GOOD THINGS GOOD!
NOT WAIT!

ANOTHER WAY TO SAY IT

KNOCK KNOCK!
It might actually take Nazi's on your doorstep to feel what I mean. Even then maybe nobody) would do much...

So it would always end up that way if people do only knee-jerk 'saving' of things in next emergency presented to us almost like they were making it (like it was their job) rather than people doing daily talks even in their family to care what they thing and have open discussion on a caring but forceful level to at least do part of that.

You personally (and publicly) don't do much of anything more than follow... Am I wrong?

There are good but consider my guess is aligned with modern society's design of not caring for what people think anyway and leaders / Führer's who are anyway quite fascists - closely aligned and funded by the State (are the State or working for, even as a Kompany)...

Definition: " A political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical government "

❓ You like Authority right?
❓ You like Hierarchy right?
❓ You like Government right? (or believe you need them)

#ClimateDiary 2/2 I have been struggling in recent months with feeling really hope- and helpless regarding climate action (and much else). But now feel that there is also strength in this realisation, so much still that we can do for each other and the world even when the bigger picture is incredibly bleak. Then yesterday listened to @DarkOptimism talking about #DarkOptimism - and this term captures it perfectly. Thank you, Shaun!

#AI #Tech -The distancing from people is eventually the whole problem... 

I understand why now... the distancing from people is eventually the whole problem... that is why I write sometimes about Tech,...

By giving and getting work without having chance to talk to the creator or people we are missing link that is important... while many don't want the attention or time-consumption, we must be aware the initial reasons and care in the creation also gets lost by distancing or treating people as disposable units...

So people can get replaced and we can become unsure why people are even there... because the passion and being of a person isn't easily seen through Capitalism or from distance and actually gets lost during these processes even if "top quality" and "maximum" is achieved as bad exchange or over-kill since we could still achieve a lot keeping the passionate builders in the frame a bit more...

SUPPORTING about but it is what people in Capitalism are doing anyway (just faster now)

" ...we’re able to get access to what colleagues are producing without needing to actually engage with them”. "

OFF GRID PEOPLE

My husband and I are moving off grid in a couple of months here. I'm so sick of everyday life...to most people that sounds terrible but I just mean I want to have the work I do count. I want to have my husband feel good mentally and physically for the work he does and I want my children to not be self centered, ungrateful brats<<<that's tough when everything around them screams you need this, you need MORE

While my neighbours spend their time hunting for weed, removing moss from cracks, maniacally attempting the „perfect“ lawn, I go on creating hiding places, nesting places, drinking places, shadow places, wet places, warm places, feeding places and more for other life forms. I have discovered joy in fomenting #nature and #biodiversity even in a small area as where I live.

Nothing is done anymore in the garden without giving a thought about how others benefit or lose from it.

SHOPPING STORIES & SWINDLES

I feel like I am from a different planet. Hell is other people, except for an excellent few.

DAILY CHEATING OF PEOPLE

"...when simple age old human interaction becomes con-like, we have a moral obligation to make it straight. Otherwise, hell starts to break loose. Just make it straight."

So there has been a breakthrough in my retail price adventure.
This windy winter morning, with small flakes of snow tumbling sideways, I went for more on-sale apples at the local grocer chain. Bagged, presented, and accompanied with several yes pleases, I gently offered on-sale apples to the checkout, positioned myself at the display, facing away from the human operator. Wrong price I said aloud, and knew I only had less than a minute. Off she stormed, to the produce area to check the displayed price. I ran to keep up, asking her how I could help her solve this problem. Anger had flooded her face, I only had a few more seconds, 'maybe I could talk to a manager and get this fixed for all of us?' Then she was gone. I was sure that I had failed.
I returned to the customer chute.

She returned, lips pursed, said a few words to her colleague in groceryspeak. Without looking anywhere her fingers slammed the sequence of commands to cancel and correct. Then it happened, the other checkout turned to me and said softly, the senior manager watches Yelp closely, if you post a poor review there then we have a chance. Ok, maybe she didnt say we. Hooboy, I couldn't believe it. Yes, yes, I had a Yelp account, passed down to me by my naive-webself from twenty years ago. This could work, we could have displayed prices that match register prices.

My checkout was now smiling at me. And the store manager was approaching, I did my best ten second elevator speech about proper charges using the glowing blank register screen as a prop, unfolded my arms to virtually embrace all the people around me harmed by this careless process of putting food on sale and charging full price. A customer was staring at me. The store manager had a sort of monotone response, mumbling yes, and, I see. And away he went, the store manager, disappearing around the aisle of
beers, each with colorful, pleasant missives upon them. Later I posted my message in a Yelp bottle and threw it into the Internet sea. This might work.
