Anarchism also fits here, as that’s an aspect of solar punk, but it’s not as good of a fit, as some of those memes can be a slippery slope with regards to rebelling against existing systems.
TIL: Punk is not a good fit for solarpunk.
Btw please be more specific about whar you mean about violence. At face value it looks like centrist complacency.
This is a mod, so I think? they’re taking about liability. By all means organize direct action, but maybe don’t do it on a public public server that can be seized by authorities.
I’m probably more centerist than your average punk. I am definitely liberal, but not hard left. That’s beside the point when it comes to violence.
On violence - you can post whatever “fuck the government/system/police” memes you want, but you can’t post 'hehe got my local MP a little surprise for Christmas 🥰😘 picture of pipe bomb" style content here. You cannot call for people to hurt other people, even if you’re ‘joking’.
Personally, I don’t see violence as a means to an end. I don’t see it as acceptable because it just perpetuates itself, and once it starts the lines of morality get very blurry very fast. If anything, it just entrenches the opposing side and strengthens their resolve.
Oh alright. Thanks for elaborating. I feel like I sometimed see negative but general terms like violence and such sort of rethorically weaponized to things that are honestly minor. as e.g. making a trash can fall. So I guess I assumed worse. Sorry for that.
Hey, I get it. The internet is full of trigger words, and implied meanings behind them. We try and say things on the internet against a dictionary backdrop full of hidden meanings, and people fight in the corners about what those meanings are. It’s like trying to send a messenger through no-mans land in WW1.
I don’t know how it all came to this, where everyone fights about every little nuance in wording, but it’s tiring (not pointing fingers at you). Why can’t people just have a normal conversation, and give others the benefit of the doubt? Again, not directed at you. I just miss people having honest conversations online, without it devolving into slapfights. Everyone is SO dug into their opinions.

Eat the rich and so on, obviously.

I’m showing my age, aren’t I?
