Competition is perhaps natural but to win together against #fascism (and other bad logic) we have to stick together more.
Because we have too much physical competition & data growth. The next phase are about developing mentally:

Lawmakers concerned about #USPS #postmark changes.
In January, a group of mostly Democratic US senators sent a letter to the USPS, alarmed that mail-processing changes might affect postmark dates for mail-in ballots during an #election year that will determine control of #Congress.

@elsua54 What didn't you understand about current variation of #fascism & bad groups of people doing bad things - therefore more people being more towards anonymity than being an easy target?
(Forgive me - I didn't hear much pain or solidarity in previous messages.)
Perhaps helps if you can reject this below?...
"the state and banks are generally not a problem / are quite caring / invest in good projects / spend on good things..."
... to help see my position & why it might frustrate you.
What i find very worrying is the very real chance that de AfD may be winning the next elections in Germany. It would be the comeback of fascism and nazism. There are no other words to describe it. It would severely weaken the EU at a minimum, destabilize europe. I know some state actors who would consider that a good outcome and will do everything to make that happen.

Today in Labor History, July 23, 1944: Madeleine Riffaud, 19, got off her bicycle, pulled out a gun, and assassinated a Nazi military officer as he took a stroll over the river Seine. She was pursued by French collaborators with the Nazis, beaten, tortured and imprisoned in a concentration camp. She escaped, but was later caught, eventually being released in a prisoner swap. She then joined the armed uprising against the Nazis. She had said she wanted to murder a Nazi in broad daylight to encourage the demoralized population. At the age of 18, she worked as a midwife in a Grenoble sanitarium, where she also helped hide Jews and Resistance Fighters, and helped operate a clandestine printing press.
After the war, she was inspired and encouraged to write by the surrealist poet, Paul Eluard. She became a journalist for the communist newspaper L'Humanité, and other left-wing publications, reporting on anti-colonial rebellions in Algeria and Vietnam. She saw her reporting as a continuation of her anti-fascist fighting, writing that "a people who oppress another can never be a free people." In another quote, she said: “I didn't want France to do elsewhere what the Nazis wanted to do here.” She also wrote poetry and a memoir: On l'appelait Rainer (Called Rainer). Her first poetry collection was published in 1945, with a preface by Eluard, and a portrait of herself on the cover, drawn by Pablo Picasso. In 1974, after working in a Paris hospital, she wrote her best-seller “Les Linges de la nuit” exposing the poor working conditions of hospital workers in France. She died, at the age of 100, in 2024.

Friends, soulwise, these are trying times. Now is the time for all good citizens to come to the aid of our country, and it won’t help if you all cower in places like Madison and the Upper West Side, having hot fantods over the approach of fascism. To the barricades, team. And for Lord’s sake, don’t leave your sense of humor behind.

Today in Labor History July 22, 1895: Nigerian jazz musician August Agbola O'Browne was born. He is believed to be the only black person to have participated in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising against the Nazi occupation. O’Browne had emigrated to Britain, and then traveled to Poland with a travelling theater group. He was the first African man to record a jazz album in Poland. In 1949, he joined the Union of Fighters for Freedom and Democracy in Warsaw. His code name was “Ali.” Before the uprising, he helped distribute underground papers. He survived the war and continued his musical career. He died in Britain in the 1970s.

DHS plans to nearly triple the number of surveillance towers along U.S. borders, from the current 830 to 2,300 by 2034, at a cost of $1 billion (likely a lot more with overruns).
Will utilize AI-based systems with radar, thermal infrared and optical systems to track targets over long distances, incl residential neighborhoods spying on homes on both sides of the border./
Check out their handy interactive map to see all the surveillance equipment in your neighborhood: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/cbp-expanding-its-surveillance-tower-program-us-mexico-border-and-were-mapping-it

Which tech company do you know that hasn't?

Not only are they actively spying on you, not only have they updated their TOS to include requiring you to NOTIFY GUESTS ABOUT WIRETAPPING LAW, on Windows they're pushing ADWARE through WINDOWS UPDATE along with their monitor drivers - including on OLD monitors.

"As I’ve argued before, I think Haidt’s book has done exactly what Gray was afraid it might do – namely, it has played into and exacerbated a moral panic over smartphones and social media and their alleged impact on the emotional and psychological wellbeing of teenagers. The architect of the Australian social-media age-gating law, South Australian premier Peter Malinouskas, described in an interview how his wife had recommended Haidt’s Anxious Generation to him, and how after reading it he had resolved to take action. His wife “put the book down on her lap and turned to me and said you’ve really got to do something about this,” he said. “And then I stopped and thought about it and thought maybe we actually can.” So he introduced state-level legislation hoping it could win federal support. It did, and since then the UK has passed a new law it says was modeled on the Australian one (modeled so closely that it too offered virtually no evidence that such a law was necessary), and Canada is also considering one.
As a journalist who once worked for the Columbia Journalism Review, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that one of the biggest proponents of Jonathan Haidt’s views about cellphones and social media and their impact on the wellbeing of teenagers has been the media."

This is one of the most chilling manipulative lie I have read in a while. And I have read a lot of chilling manipulative lies from that American administration:
“When the leftist protests that we are violating his rights, understand that he is lying to try to persuade people who are not closely following the political scene that some injustice has been perpetrated against him. We must stay the course and be completely unflinching in the pursuit of justice against these enemies of civilization.”

@elsua54 If asking from the point of view of people, then I think it's all of those things from lack of real choice...
When people eventually realise...
- "they are pretending to help"
- "they are not listening"
- "they going for decades towards the same types of bad things"
...then they start to #trust their own hands / reasoned choices of others, no matter who they are.
All the reasons happen if you're not for #fascism... from being cornered to sick of obeying the daily abuse(s).
[2/2]
@Christo_459 @aral Want Less Fascism? Use Less Finance...
Easy to let #Fascism in - just use #money and #banks often !
Fascism & Financial-Fascism are together. (same thing now as idea / platform).
Finance is what keeps Fascism going (material & mentality).
Less finance & less banks = all that mentality to be harder to exist / not funded / less influence / less #investment.
