🚨Z’s tech infrastructure is in dire need of rescue. We're in a very precarious situation and don’t have the budget to contract out this work.
But we have good news – an anonymous donor is willing to match up to $6,000 for an emergency tech-support drive.
Please help us rescue Z!

What is a Just Transition?
As the idea of the "just transition" has become mainstream, it has increasingly been co-opted. We need a transition away from both fossil fuels and from the extractive systems harming both people and planet.

This post has been repeatedly removed by Facebook for “violating community standards “… yet another reason it’s vital to support independent media and projects like @npub1pu3…tfch who are building the independent and participatory infrastructure we so urgently need.
Here’s what violates the corporate oligarchy’s standards: simply pointing out that we shouldn’t confuse free speech with expensive speech.

Your comments have been so ludicrous thus far (including climate change denial) that I can’t imagine you’re engaging in good faith, so there is no point in further engagement.

https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/the-society-of-resentment/
The Society of Resentment
As the inequalities and discriminations of neoliberalism increase, we will increasingly live in societies of resentment: total fragmentation of feelings of injustice, the intensification of conflicts between victims and the impossibility of articulating struggles against capitalist, colonialist and patriarchal domination. These struggles leave the real aggressor unscathed and relieved by the fact that the forces and reasons for resistance and struggle against him are divided and effectively diverted from the targets that could benefit him. One of the dangers of the proliferation of the society of resentment is this: the perpetuation of the power that causes it. The other danger is the increased difficulty in distinguishing real damage from illusory damage, real causes from illusory causes, and real victims and aggressors from illusory victims and aggressors. This makes it more difficult to effectively punish, in a substantive and procedurally fair way, the real damage suffered by real victims against the real aggressors. Resentment puts an end to hope for a fairer society. Resentment replaces the Spinozist dialectic between fear and hope with the dialectic between hatred and revenge. Revenge aspires to the transfer of power, not the transformation of power. Without this transformation, there will be no hope for a better world.

The clarity and accuracy of @npub1a7m…4ske ‘s analysis is as good now as it was in 1970.
We have more than enough material wealth to render the pursuit of further aggregate growth, for its own sake, counterproductive to social and ecological indicators. What we need instead is a serious and democratic pursuit of redistribution and a redirecting of our collective creativity and work towards actual well-being within healthy, safe ecology.
This will require social innovation and political will.

The rumors circulated today that Noam Chomsky had passed away are NOT true. This has been confirmed by his wife, Valeria, in our phone conversation today.
A few major publications have taken down their obviously pre-prepared Chomsky "memorial" articles that were posted hours ago. A little rigor & decency is in order above the race to be first. Let's honor Chomsky's example in this way.

To make a rapid, far-reaching, and unrelenting break with our fossil-fuel dependency — 79% of the nation’s energy is now drawn from fossil fuels — a national mobilization would be needed, and it would have to be a genuine all-of-society effort.
Fortunately, there is a historical precedent for just such a comprehensive mobilization of government and citizenry in dire circumstances…

“Our progress in Oakland has shown us what works to transform local systems that punish Black youth and communities of color: Put young people, parents, and community members at the center of the work. Be bold and keep fighting for transformational change and not just incremental, feel-good actions. And claim every single community win. That is what will continue to inspire those who will come after us. That is what will ignite everyday, regular people to realize that we ourselves have the power to shift, change, and transform.”
