@gnu2 lol nah. Bodily autonomy should be a right and reproductive freedom is apart of that. Also don’t understand how you got this from this post, so bye
@odonion_gethen agree, under community control & tied to fundraising for mutual aid. Individuals showing up to protect us are great but we gotta get organized
@zzzoey the admin on .lol said that one of the leaders of the org attended a conference that hosted fascists and holocaust deniers (i did some digging, it was an anti-zionist conference, and the leader said himself that if he knew the views of other people attending, he wouldn't have come)
given this information, the reason that fascists and holocaust deniers came to that conference was because they were anti-semetic, not anti-israel.
@DunksDoneDaily nah it’s real, mods justify it as affiliated with “unsavory characters” whatever that means… & made up lies about the organization. Basically how Twitter is doing mass arbitrary bans of queer & anti-musk accounts rn
@FluffyDragon I think it’s only unpopular bc capitalism has justified itself through endless economic growth & imagining different that is difficult. We can improve peoples standards of living and degrow harmful industries simultaneously
@FluffyDragon probably one of the most important industries to degrow is the livestock industry. We can’t keep using and expanding the amount of land we use for livestock. This means cuts in meat consumption & we need to provide alternatives whether it be plant based, lab grown (only with renewable ⚡️), etc. Everybody doesn’t need to become vegan but we gotta consume less of it, personally I’m making it my goal to be meatless 2/7 days of the week.
@FluffyDragon Circular economies in particular need to be emphasized, example: food => compost => soil => food. Oil/plastic/other fossil fuel companies need to be publicly owned so we can wind down production & rapidly expand renewables/green hydrogen.
Doing a lil interest thread :) I'm from the south in the US! Joined this place from the #TwitterMigration, I'm hoping the #fediverse continues to grow. I'm a #socialist & support #degrowth & #decolonization, I think we need to join environmental movement with the labor & national liberation movements. I practice no-till, regenerative #permaculture agriculture with the goal of growing a chestnut-canopy food forest with my community. I am an educator and work at a bar :) #queer#trans#riptwitter
@FluffyDragon Reorienting the economy around social needs rather than profit as a first step. In particular it means breaking the consumerist culture in the west and replacing it with sustainable development through recycling, reusing, repairing, & reducing our consumables. It would mean cutting on car & airplane usage in favor of reliable, accessible, free public transit in the form of high speed rail & buses where we can. Guarantee employment/social safety net
