It's easy to think you'd be able to do something when you know that you'd never have to actually do it.

The problem with CHAZ and Occupy strategies in general is that they pose absolutely zero threat to genocidal states or the capital that funds them. At any point they like, the state can disband them by force - the lines of arms-interlinked intellectuals toppled and ziptied in the course of ten seconds. They can do this not because of a lack of tactical ability or force on the part of the protestors (though they do generally lack tactical ability and force), they could just as easily deploy the national guard, even gun down a few people, and face no real consequences but electoral opponents trying to cynically cash in on sentiments caused by the violence.
The problem here is that there is no connection to the people. The whole world, each bit of it, runs on the labour of the workers. You want to stop a genocide 'your' state is carrying out? Organise work stoppage in the factories producing arms, in the trucks and boats and docks transporting them. If you can't do that, then your first priority should be getting into a position to do that: engage with organised labour like unions and guilds, engage with tenant organisations. Win over these politically advanced (though not yet revolutionary) sections of the people, and put your own labour to use positively, in volunteer work, political education, and building up community resources to enable further labour action.

Ya que estamos en el tema, hubo un "estudio" que correlacionaba los índices de crimen y violencia con la cercanía al ecuador.
A ver. Me estás diciendo que Singapur, que está directamente en el ecuador, no tiene uno de los sistemas de justicia más draconianos que existen? Que las guerras civiles en el centro de África son porque la gente tiene mucho calor nomás?
Es realmente sorprendente como el primer mundo interpreta al resto del mundo, y esto lo vemos en la cuestión climática también, porque el imperialismo es también ecológico. Los climas calurosos son para visitar de turista, para explotar, o para esquivar.
Incluso dentro de EEUU, es muy notable que el Sur (subtropical, caluroso), es considerado como un área, como ellos mismos lo llaman a veces "backwards", su flora y fauna siendo reemplazada por el ideal del norte (proceso que se ve en la actualidad en Florida, y no puedo evitar encontrar comparaciones con la "pampeanización" del bosque chaqueño).
O no vieron como los medios del primer mundo muestran los climas? La belleza del otoño, ay que linda la nieve. Pero la selva es exótica, peligrosa o llena de estereotipos. El desierto es mortal. La sabana tropical, bueno existe una en África y el resto no. Así ven climas habitados por millones de personas.
Lo pienso demasiado? Sí, porque literalmente estudié sobre la relación entre el ser humano y la naturaleza. E incluso ahí vemos las huellas del imperialismo. Especialmente ahí.
#tienes razon especialmente en como los estadounidenses ven al clima#cuando se habla de la urbanización de las areas aridas o tropicales del pais se consideran “conquistadas” o “civilizadas”

I only learned recently that people from Not America don’t specify hard cider and instead it’s just cider.
I know this is a small difference but it is surprisingly one I do sometimes have to lie down on the floor about.
