If you have a good link on how to do pickled vegetables or with tips, please share!

I suppose if you have some bureaucratic ties with an EU country, Ireland would be easier to go to. Or if you want easy access to other european countries in the long term. To my knowledge finding a place to stay there is very hard as well as expensive, especially in Dublin. I don’t really know how the squatting scene is but I guess you would need to know at least one local for this sort of info. Few years back, you find a job online (with a short contract usually), and accommodation would be provided, I don’t mean free. Currently, I’m not sure.

as long as evidentiary screenshots are good to go

Interesting point and the way you put it, kinda helps me frame an answer. For me, the keyword you used was evidentiary

Practically, I can think of a couple of reasons for now (there could be more!) to use a screenshot, let’s say from twitter.

• As evidence of what a deleted tweet was saying. I have the impression that due to how things are there nowadays, we are far from that sort of discourse.

• Or as a reference to an actual tweet. In this case - imo - the screenshot is not necessarily enough as evidence, so a link is needed like we see in some articles. I suppose it also depends very much on the community itself. For example a white people twitter community is very different from one that is related to ocean conservation & tidalpunk, like this one.

For now, that’s more or less what I have in mind, and I’m open to discussion for sure.

I am not denying there is a historical reference to the use of this term. I just think it also makes sense - especially if we take into consideration the last 100 years or so - for this term to shift from its initial meaning. Or to put it differently, in other languages this shift has taken place for decades now.

I understand what you say and I agree. Still I would like to add something:

I have noticed that in the english speaking world when people talk about the left they often include anarchy in this term. For me, this is highly problematic too, since the left has hierarchical structures and anarchy has horizontal ones.

I thought of sharing this relevant 9 minute video:

Carbon Offsets Don’t Work. Here’s Why

I was not aware of the existence of Shut the System and I like their approach, so I find it’s great you included their link to your post @silence7@slrpnk.net

Edit: Did a sort of repost to In Person Activism@slrpnk.net

Once more then. In the picture you see Sasol petrochemical plant.

Sasol’s Secunda CTL plant is, as of 2020, the world’s largest point source of greenhouse gas, at 56.5 Mt/a CO2,[54] a status which persists during the 2020s, with the complex producing more carbon dioxide than the country of Portugal at the close of 2023

Not too sure how this comment is relevant to the article?

If you just saw the picture, there is something written bellow it:

A garbage dump in Secunda, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa near the Sasol petrochemical plant, the world’s largest single-point emitter of CO2

Thank you. At last something that makes sense to me in this discourse.

For non-functional parts, there is also the option of making jewelry, lamp shades or art in general. This can be a great way to improve soldering skills as well!

the author is suggesting that there are two different policies

The author describes the israeli apartheid in a deceitful way, which is very different to what you say. This is not an article that wants to draw attention to the Uyghur. It just tries to deflect the conversation from the Palestinian Genocide to something else.

Please see an article by Amnesty International from 2022, meaning before the current Genocide: Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians: a cruel system of domination and a crime against humanity

A few more of the plenty deceitful aspects in this article are bellow:

The United States has tried to pressure China’s leadership to end the Uyghurs’ mistreatment—for instance, by barring companies from importing products that originate in Xinjiang into the U.S.

Talking about these imports is one thing. Why not also talk about the US arm exports that kills Palestinian civilians? Regardless of the Leahy Law.

Israel was formed by Jews

No, it was created by Zionists, not Jews. These two words are not interchangeable. There are many Jews who oppose Zionism (please see Jewish Voice for Peace)

Israel, from this viewpoint, is an outgrowth of European colonialism; it represses and displaces a local people,

There is a word for these people: Palestinians.

Also, represses and displaces a local people? If past tense was used, this sentence would have some merit. Since it uses present tense, I can only say: this is not how I would describe a Genocide.

Sorry but whataboutism has its limits.

Also, from the posted article:

The Israelis keep the Palestinians something of a people apart

Is this how we describe apartheid now?
