  • Im not going to tell someone with a broken leg to charge a police line. Nor would i expect someone without legal status to stand in front of ICE.

    If they do it should be their own choice, not because someone said it’s the only way to show solidarity. Solidarity with who? Themselves? That’s fucking nonsense.

    You’re bringing up ideas that are unrelated and out of context. Please reread the chain.



  • They’re often networked pretty well so check in with the bigger orgs, Food Not Bombs, or Mutual Aid Disaster Relief asking then to point you towards local orgs.

    You may also be able to find an org by searching. “Mutual aid” + your nearest city, state, or alternative name for region (e.g. “twin cities”).

    Blue sky might be a good resource.















  • Sigh… Look, the point is we don’t let people off the hook because it’s hard to do something. It’s hard to go to work 40+ hrs a week for 40 years and they ask that of every single one of us.

    They have the power or they don’t. If they do, and choose not to act or even attempt, they’re complicit in the world’s problems. If they don’t, and they’re relegated to continuing to sit and amass wealth, then the system itself is broken and must be raised.


  • You don’t even need to sell, you can take a loan out against an asset like every rich asshole or nation…

    I refuse to accept that the most powerful people in the world are so helpless.

    There’s a myriad of ways to handle covering wealth into purchasing power. The wealthy falling to do anything about the evils in the world is part of what makes them evil. They aren’t even trying. They use arguments like yours to throw their hands up and claim they’re helpless and that the system would fail, that the world would be worse off if they did anything at all.
