Takes a lot to suck that up and accept that we (even just you and I) need to talk more and it's not just "them" or "the rich" or "the controllers" but you or me that don't make the small circle of culture (from two, four, four-hundred eventually).

Even after having the answer here and now it might be fair to say you're not interested / not going to change / say that you do "in-person" only / don't trust people either way / etc when there's nobody really around there. We should be if anything doing more with more selected people and rather risking more with family or saying it to those that don't want to communicate...

"Remember: not all trans people are alike, the exact same way that not all members of ANY group are alike. That's why it would be a 'group' and not 'exact clones'. Yes, even identical twins are not completely identical in every way, cool and personally unique though they are in other ways (like us all!)

No one is more important than anyone else. You're allowed to experiment. You're allowed to stay with what you feel comfortable. You need to notice harm to others and yourself. You need to care AND rest. We will build something better after capitalism.
I love you."

The image is a black and white illustration depicting a partial view of a person's torso and arm. The person is facing left, with their upper body turned slightly toward the viewer. The illustration focuses on their shoulder, upper chest, and arm, which are rendered with detailed shading to suggest muscle definition. A tattoo is visible on the upper arm. In the upper right corner, a rectangular frame contains the text "Trans U!". The background is white, with a few faint, angled lines. Picture is cropped - Credits to Mx Verda @MxVerda@lgbtqia.space:

Text on white background The Answer is not 90 90 ÷ 1/9 × 9 Why? INFO BELOW: For this type of task, it is important to specify the meaning and priority of operators. If ÷ is the division operator and × is the multiplication operator, and if we assign them the same priority (as we were taught in school), the expression is evaluated from left to right (the fraction first), i.e. (90 ÷ (1/9)) × 9 = 810 × 9 = 7290. Question: How can we name this way of doing things without brackets or parenthesis ?

TLDR - Inaction = Fascism

(soft or stronger type of fascism, all considered the same from #inaction #perspective)

Might get #deep than a 1-liner here but if you reply we can ALWAYS work this out.

Towards better practices... Constructive Critique below...

#Fediverse is generally diverse but has same traits as Twitter etc people online ... We are evolving but never taught HOW to trust and increase trust online... All you ever heard is do less of this, watch out for that...

Increasing trust (to avoid fascism / have stronger people is part of the 'product' of doing what I suggest should be normal / normalised - otherwise we fall fast into fascism or silent forms of the same).

There need for "fixing" / accepting change of our habits... is not easy but it's measurable... and does have steps to improve...

Improving communication else we die basically (!) alone or fall into more #technocracy / #plutocracy / fascism / anything almost.

Fascism can be the more-comfortable version AS WE HAVE IT NOW... SORRY!

Our bad habits = not talking / helping others is exactly what you are getting ! (not blaming you but you can help)

TLDR = Inaction = Fascism

Constructively "we" all are always are the MAIN problem (not just Trump Musk etc people pour time into... it's about the time the common folk people don't invest into themselves!... ⌚

Talking to each other properly / deeply).... gets us there way faster!

And that hurts to say and to accept perhaps as you or me (measurably) by what we are not doing also... so it needs two to tango and even 1 person to continually show up, for messaging properly to continue and have a place they can always go to (Fediverse let's say), In person can have it's place but it's not always suited for bashing our internal into something more cultivated when we do go out and not yelling at others (even the bad who still do near-0 and continue the bad).

So in taking more responsibility, for people messaging us, for our own #people etc - IT IS OUR INACTION in what we do bad - NOT JUST THE ACTIONS we do generally only for our direct #family)

THE INACTION IS ALSO EVIDENT / THE EVIDENCE, much like how our leaders don't ask testing questions. Not much different. We need to learn to use our own power and not "hope" in leaders always (we give power away a lot by doing that too). It's just us or just #ICE !

TLDR - WATCH OUT FOR THOSE THAT DON'T REPLY -
They can be wasting your time if people-progress interests you (better people as the resultant output at the end) not just improving tech or sciences or more memes - actually developing better people.

Those that don't want to look at themselves or talk outside the box are limited.,.

#FEDI IS PART OF THE SAME PROBLEM AS A POPULATION (NOT magically different people)

People here are NOT AS USEFUL AS THEY MAKE OUT or INTEND !!
They might not see how they are in victim-mode constantly pointing at the others and throwing stones and need to divert some energy into people not on TV etc. People nearer to being able to change (not professional #liers / #politicians )

(Not all #evil but some are really 3hiding from the conversations / just pumping their wares a bit selfishly). Need to listen to almost anyone really trying (check their account too and ask them) else it's rather much circular (doesn't spiral out and reach others).

When they are not responding (but continue to chat to to others online veraciously) that is SAYING SOMETHING too - despite people kindly asking, Even a polite no is better but NOTHING.

It's not just #Twitter - it's the general populations of people in cities that have this "ignore them" switch whenever they encounter a feeling a subject they are not sure about. Not to discuss it AT ALL or risk it with 1 person continents away!

People who seem wonderful as text and media- but don't have a way to talk.

Check my account - I've messaged / tested 100's (10's daily) and the best here... THANK YOU TO MANY (I CAN GIVE YOU A LIST)

BUT often it's a fail after first reply - you'd really be surprised... it's almost like your hero on TV and they turn out to be opposite.

No longer so many hero-people (aesthetically yes) and though it's natural and even very human to "meet the band" and be disappointed - it's I think also very deliberate to say the talk but not walk the walk (like trusting people more and slowly talking about everything to .heal it all). Just to start (no need go all-in).

Despite their skill level... it's almost proportional that more skill / higher techies and some educated seem to be inversely self-blocked or unkilled in socially raising the internet kids... because clever-but-unskilled-socially is worse than messaging people with less of qualified skill.

If they don't reply and don't say why - DON'T RELY ON THEM...

even though it's their right - be a bit wary when they claim to stand for stuff (don't write them off 100% but consider them a 75% potential waste of time). Without communication or trying you are of little use to others (that's a rule for life - though I don't mean people = 0). Just online memes IS NOT ALL OF IT ONLINE. Had to convert to positives and communicate.

Some part of the problem is similar to the other sides (like Fasism) where they are Silent / One-way messaging / Ignorant in smoe other way / not willing to answer / change - IT IS DELIBERATE.

A quick bad example are those in church that claim peace but can't sit down and have a debate (ok outside the church is the right place BUT asking them to sit down after is still hard for them).
THERE IS NO PEACE WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT HARD THINGS

AND YOU START TO FEED FASCISTS (OR BE ONE) EVEN IF IT'S A SOFT-TYPE / INDIRECT FORM OF FASCISM.

It's clever but not clever (because it's not genuine and even hiding things - (again quick-bad example - church and it's people hiding banks war on people / keeping people down / giving them debt they don't need but billionaires that are causing problems and harvest people by 'giving' them money).

Be a little wary (it's not 100% #FEDIVERSE but they are bad practising people (not brave enough / #newhere #introduction etc) but if they don't say why THAT IS BAD while - because you see them messaging fast other people - but not you...or after the first posts they cut off suddenly... BAD PRACTICE and even creates problems as we learn how to do this social - it's not easy but answer everyone (especially when you can see you don't have that much going on or need to make the process better else hop one legged).

Test says Unnecessary NonProductive Negative on a red no entry / not allowed style sign

#Fascism and calling people #Fascist are the new trendy trend and stimulating people...

(Serious post / WORK IN PROGRESS)

And it's fine until everyone looses track of what it is and what they are doing using it too quickly in a rather crude and time-wasting way theat encourages more people to do the same... even to avoid doing the hard work of using #positives loving people just a,,, little... bit... more...?

That's it for short version.... below is extra.

Just calling people names again.
#NameCalling / #Haters as a #lifestyle.

And a kind of #moral #porn or confirmation #bias (if I have it right). People want to see more #fascism and point and prod at anything #fascistic - probably from no other better way and not learning how to do something better to prevent these things...It's too clever / high bar to do tht (I admit not easy at all).

Almost like going on a Trump hashtag to check out the latest bad stuff....

Is that you?

Example to show how I'm serious and how serious it is via examples:

BEFORE people got off TV because of all the crap
Internet downloads was see as better to choose some content.

AFTER / Now Internet is worse than TV (it's InternetTV) tracking you, internet-fed adverts, data mining, streaming quality = MASSIVE DATA waste, companies gaining profile on you etc)

➡️ WE DIDN'T SEE THE CHANGE OR SEE THIS LIST ENOUGH
(Not saying it's all bad but over time we maybe don't see it as clearly to becoming fascist ourselves from what we use, who is behind it or what we think is ok! ). We just kept ignoring or clicking ok without reading...

Back to main point:

Now people are calling other fascist or in group others really quickly as fascist when it can be just how they feel someone or something is ignoring things (especially if they don't like it).

I don't mean those fascists that self-identify (at least they are honest) but those that aren't really hierarchical governmental types but people #hammer them (and themselves) as it turns towards themselves...

A bit like calling people a terrorist and it's just for hitting their dog (bad example but terrorist is totally different)

#Left or #Leftism (I have to be careful also) seem TOO EAGER to label and they are often a bit #clueless themselves...

Another example - sayign "spam" for things that are not really:

Calling things #spam when they are not (people don't understand what spam is and calling someone messaging them sincerely with differing options "spam").

Sure some things how BOTH TRUTH's like it's a bit spammy but sincerely asking people to chat is not dishonest or trying to get their credit cards - but if you always assume or don't have ways to check people out - you end up with ALL PEOPLE DISTRUSTING PEOPLE without legitimate way to get themselves out of their own holes they end up digging or back against the wall when nobody is blocking them from getting out but themselves!

Stop looking at #Trump #Elon etc and start personally looking for more acknowledgment and co-creation from each other....

Start #Trust to grow more trust else you up with... [hey I'm not going to say it the first word of this post!]

@GryphonSK
I realise this response is not exactly for the picture in your post (which I agree with) but basically this post shows how WE are capitalists also... so even if I needed to make a more extreme example, the principles are all the same...

Basically we became #Capitalism (from born into over the generations)

We are #Capitalists most of us (enough of us) now we are born into over the generations and can make a #change - and do have a say EVEN IF it's just between #ourselves.

So as much as we hate it want to #kill it - this actually means killing ourselves - so better to think of reducing it WHILE testing new ways of #humanity....

But this isn't as easy an idea as kill capitalism or even the weak forms without again finding ways to support and even talk to each other #DAILY and know it will get us anywhere we like that way! (Nope!.... for some people it's capitalism and not them forgetting to do the #human work). #TOPTIPS *wink*

P.S
It's true Capitalists and ownership (Even of people by employment) is very pervasive and exist - but still we a mini-capitalist that could all do the similar ways, but for sharing or at least positive spreading.

@regendans After reviewing a lot of:
#TommyRobinson videos (and taking the points from them), this one stands out about him being

NOW "NOT GUILTY" 🧑‍⚖️ 🔨 #VERDICT

After being taken to court.

2nd days in court - nothing brought against him - hmm strange that - video here:

https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=AP0nMh9Bh-4

or

and other court update videos here:

https://inv.nadeko.net/search?q=channel%3AUC6wdP5hTf_phre6Q3kFiV2g+court

There is a lot of #fanfare and #hype but the last word and actual sentences by court count (not arrests / questioning / newspaper headlines etc) shows a lot about the hype - first arresting (meaning to talk or find dirt) - not much else... or do you doubt that?

So given the verdict and #fascist state recently (or forever) one has to always wonder about balancing all the shit and why they / the system spend so much time going after individuals like this that they can't even convict in their own twisted kangeroo #court. (for example they did it with #nojury and often #silenced him in weird ways unhelpful to his #legal #case)

And we know how easy it is to find people guilty in #legalese #language and all the many clauses to twist something. NOTHING FOR MANY (#ASSANGE... ETC also a journalistic type of person don't forget) means how crap they are...

" #Financial #Terrorists " Tommy calls them after they say how much in #legal #fees he has to pay at the end. Yeah just to profit from people - sounds about right (or at least the main thing above any real truth that looks bad on their side).

I'm not saying he is 100% right but BUT SO MANY TIMES "NOT #GUILTY" should be #proof enough which is hard / near IMPOSSIBLE in #court under bogus '#terrorism' laws AND even documenting things on himself by himself on youtube that I think NOBODY ELSE HAS #DOCUMENTED in such detail (and risky to do to this extent and upload) but he has not been challenged much on TONS of stuff and protected himself with truth more than dishonesty (as lots of people are watching) so always other more dishonest stuff tries to get in the way.

They were in a van outside his house (footage of that) just so #Nazi style dirty / desperate to find anything on him. Recording his family home, Driving on the pavement to get away when he try to block them with a car,

NOT TRYING TO TAKE SIDES BUT IT'S THE SAME #PATTERN SINCE FOREVER IF YOU HAVE 'SOME TRUTH' or UNCOVER THINGS ⬅️

All this is not by chance and it shows itself - plenty of State crap whether you are #rascist or not - when you get near the #truthes it gets really obvious by their reaction and sudden caring for you and what's right.

So the attention from a #failing #system is what you need to see also for what it is - a lot of fabricated and downright #fascistic systematic tendencies (I include the #silence by the way all these years and not answering it's victims, cost cutting, cutting corners, seeing people as GDP only, getting rid of body cam footage of whole teams of officers suddenly, not doing enough to disprove things etc)...

All while the points and evidences were told in detail by Tommy Robinson (it's online) and done by himself at first with phone, and then asking people door to door what happened, #councils paying #public to stay quiet in #NDA's Non-Disclosure Agreements etc).

Do question the #system and it's own #racism / #discrimination also for going after what serves them and their money so much / and not caring much for the #truth.

This pattern also in history and it's no accident or chance - it's deliberate #design with a system more for them to profit than anything for us like the truth and very inconvenient justice).

[full version:]

@michael mezzatesta
"this paper blew my mind… i first published this video a couple years ago, and i want to reshare it now that @natehagens is on Instagram. his work has meaningfully changed my thinking about the future.

there’s lots in the paper i didn’t have time to discuss here, including: the ways human psychology at scale creates the superorganism dynamic, the ways we’ve used fracking to (briefly) extend our lifeline of cheap fossil energy, and the ways our financial system is using debt to maintain growth rates that no longer correspond to physical reality. that last point is something i’ll be sharing more about soon.

Nate would probably disagree with my point at the end that we have a “choice” to navigate this transition gracefully, because he says the superorganism will never *voluntarily* decide to stop growing. i’ve been holding onto the belief that a willful shift to a different socioeconomic model is possible, which is part of why i make these videos.

he’s been speaking on this topic for decades — for more of his work, check out his YT channel and his podcast called “the great simplification.” i also recommend reading the paper, which is titled “Economics for the future — Beyond the superorganism” and is available for free online.
