    If you seek emancipation of anyone or anything by critique, you should read up what others wrote down, that had or have the same goal.

    Otherwise your are individualistically and egoistically sabotaging the very project you want to contribute to.

    Saying the most edgy thing to feel yourself “being on the right side” will not do good to anyone except yourself.

    Dass es keine wirkmächtige Antwort von links auf die sozialen Fragen und Widersprüche der Gegenwart gibt, ist ja warum die Rechte aufsteigt.

    Diese Antwort zu geben, sprich: Die dafür notwendige Stärke solidarischer Bewegungen aufzubauen ist Antifaschismus. Rache und Hölle undsoweiter sind sehr nachvollziehbare Reflexe, aber nicht der historische real deal


  • I understand and totally support that in general. I’m gonna try to explain my point of view.

    In this case we don’t exactly look at policy-making. Between stating that a majority supports governmental action to ban one use plastics and actual policy is a process.

    This process will “forge” the outcome. In it, several conflicting interests will meet/clash and according to the power relations between them, they will be able to enforce their respective will.

    Since the power relations are, let’s say, fucked up, we are constantly seeing how profit of few overrule need of many and overall rational solutions.

    Thats why the criterion “clearness” seems out of place for me at this point. Certanly, before it comes to the actual policy-making, things like the washabillity of surgical equipment will be processed. You will certanly not end up with a dirty scalpel in your body.

    That’s why the scepticism of your initial comment seemed odd to me.

    Don’t know if this should be seen as a given standard, or if we (“average lemmy users”) should disclaim it more often, but I don’t mean to be offensive (even though this format of short message discourse provoces a certain sass). I mean to have meaningful conversation about each others POV’s. That’s somewhat the point of lemmy, imo.


  • The magic about collective action is that the everyday-normal-coorperation of humans comes up with solutions for everyone. The pointer to individual decision-making in lack of collective action thus doesn’t work as a measure of how serious people are.

    Also seen in episodes like

    “Oh, you are wearing shoes made under unfair conditions?!”

    And

    “Oh there is fossil fuel in your energy consumption?”

    Or

    “Oh if you like democracy so much, why do you exist in a not-so-democratic-country?”
