What a world. #Capitalism "externalizes" costs to the point where the costs are "externalized" into our own bodies.

"Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Hannah Arendt warned us that the point of this deluge is not to persuade, but to overwhelm and paralyze our capacity to act. More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media in response to these ridiculous claims actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action.

The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them."

I know it sounds obvious but don’t do your #organizing on Meta or Google properties. IMO the chances that they will begin to search even your DMs for incriminating content and snitch on you at some point is pretty high.

Use end-to-end encrypted services like Signal.

In fact, switch to Signal even if you *aren’t* organizing anyway. Why give them the pleasure of hosting your content?

the 'let's roll up our sleeves and get organizing' in response to the election results and potential crises on the horizon is encouraging (albeit frustrating since it's what so many have been pleading for us to start doing since the *last* election), but as things stand right now, i don't see a path toward meaningful organizing gains

until we can reach a critical mass of masking again, working together is a non-starter. we can have our differences but when they put others at risk, we're simply not on the same side. soc-dem, dem-soc, little c communist, liberal, anarchist, leftist, feminist, abolitionist, antifascist, environmentalist... it doesn't matter how you identify unless we find consensus on taking care of each other

developing a culture (counterculture?) of care is step zero and your organizing efforts won't have any support from people like me until we do

with the possibility of street action picking up again in the coming months, here's a guide i wrote to help ppl prepare for what to expect when there's a possibility of getting arrested (and maybe why they want to avoid it whenever possible)

“It's infinitely safer to convince 500 people to withdraw their money from Wells Fargo and Chase so they can't fund a defense contractor or the next pipeline than it is to redecorate a few of their branches. (It leaves a bigger dent too.)”
