""Defund the #police" has gotta be one of most unhinged liberal #ideas. You're telling me you recognise the #harm #cops do to #communities, across the board, and especially the harm done already marginalised or at-risk #people, and your #solution is to partially reduce the amount of resources we funnel to the source of #harm. Let's also #defund #concentrationcamps, but we can't get rid of them entirely, that would be #anarchy!"

@EUCommission

Have your say ? 🤔

I'll start right here:

The @EUCommission together with other #EU regulations regarding #subsidies is forbiding #communities to invest in #PublicHousing & is in #neoliberal fashion #DeRegulating the #HousingMarket which has been and is THE MAIN DRIVER of our European #HousingCrisis.

You took affordable housing away from us! (Long ago.)

It must feel so satisfying for you people to mock us now over this.

Cynical and evil.

A new study finds that Afro-descendant communities in four Amazonian countries are linked to lands with high biodiversity and 29-55% less deforestation compared with protected and unprotected areas.

More than 130 million people in Latin America identify as Afro-descendant peoples (ADP), descendants of those forcibly brought to the Americas during the slave trade.

I really need to find some new general Discord servers to join that are active. I'm in so many servers now that just aren't active any longer and I'd really like to find some new folks and communities to be part of.

Being Individual = Community also + Ubuntu definition / mentality of community / togetherness to grow people...

@johncarlosbaez @grimalkinUSA A different take on this perhaps, just as different perspective is that;

We are all a apart of each other (biology, culture, reality, interactions, needs, sharing etc)... so while you can be yourself on your own there is a learning from others or ideal that you can choose much easier when you see it.

This is why your circle(s) can make you (and break you) but keeping the values and examples ultimately can make you and work naturally with you rather than artificially / aesthetically...

This is why I think it's all our responsibility as a part of one whole, to help others in various levels of directness / indirectness to be more human and more ourselves (with people who allow and care for it).

===================
The Word Ubuntu
===================

"Ubuntu" covers some of what I mean...

#Ubuntu (an #isiXhosa / African word...) 'I am, because we are".

It emphasizes the role of the community in caring for each other. The #Xhosa is a South #African nation, primarily found in the Eastern #Cape.

Ubuntu (in# computing #community also)... used to describe the #linux #freeware / #freedom that the company distributes.

Ubuntu is the primary reason why impoverished rural #communities (and individuals) can continue to #survive.
