Then I’m sure you’re also familiar with the ransacking of Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexology in 1933, where some of the first treatment plans for trans people were developed. It was a place where gay people and trans people were accepted and treated with respect by medical personnel.

That famous picture of the book burnings? Those were patient records and the research archives of the institute. So no, it did not just start with gay people, and trans people’s persecution by nazis was relevant to bring up because it’s one of the first kinds of persecution the nazis did. Dismissing that is ahistorical and dismissive of the history of oppression of trans people.

You’re describing anarchism ;)

Definitely not the Netherlands, we’ve got a terrible case of American-style individualist brain-rot

Union membership rates in the Netherlands are like 10% only. Ever since the end of ‘Pillarisation’ we’ve been mostly individualist. The only real exceptions are religious communities and local sports clubs.

We’ll need a massive cultural change first to make people care about their fellow citizens again. We’re too alienated.

I think Denmark has a much better chance, because their society favours collectivism a lot more. But then again Danish society has its own issues of course

If you’re looking for theory, The Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin is where it’s at

Any sci fi novel by Ursula K. le Guin will have solarpunk elements, especially The Dispossessed

The protesters will block this same stretch of road every single day from now until fossil fuel subsidies are ended. Every day, for as long as necessary

It’s Danish for ‘kiss’

Yup, it’s my home instance and it’s a great space all around

Not only representative politics. We need to focus on grassroots initiatives as well.

Both is good

I’m amazed to see an article written by a mainstream news outlet that is well-informed about Anarchism!

You’re also supposing that this climate crisis that the governments are currently inflicting on their people is not violence. And that the police beating protesters is not violence.

It is violence, and we should be able to defend ourselves.

The title was edited then, it didn’t say it before.

Wtf are you on about you weirdo

Also, that’s an american flag with pink lighting

Bugs are always a trophic level above plants. It’s always more efficient to ‘cut out the middle man’ and eat plants instead.
