This is what’s called Alienation of Labour.

From “First Taste of Chocolate in Ivory Coast”

thanatos-girl

this is a fantastic example of Marx’s concept of alienation of labour, where the worker is made to produce a cog in a machine they will never see or afford and so they fully lack the ability to point at their product and say “I made that.” It’s incredibly demoralizing to never be able to see the result of your labour

28 April 1945 - Fascist Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and some of his closest supporters are caught and executed by antifascist partisans, and their bodies strung up in Piazzale Loreto square in Milan. The previous year, the Milan Gestapo had publicly executed 15 Italian partisans in that square and hung their bodies there for several days. At the time, Mussolini is said to have remarked, “for the blood of Piazzale Loreto, we shall pay dearly.” [video]

What made me just outright giggle at the absurdity of it all is reading about these bunkers in particular: https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-of-survival-condo-project-luxury-doomsday-shelter-2017-4 and seeing that their plan to keep the Unwashed Masses from intruding on them during the apocalypse is armed guards up on the ground patrolling the perimeter, which just illustrates the mindset of these people, they think they can buy anything, including the idea that people will voluntarily stick around and defend them once society collapses.

systlin

Okay

I went to that link and looked at the pictures and like….they don’t post the location of that bunker but.

I think I know where it is.

I’ve been north of Witchita Kansas, which is where they say it is, and I Recognize That Landscape, y’all.

Also, the Mr. Is a professional welder.

Guerrilla Gardening

Guerrilla Gardening is the act of illegally gardening in spaces that are not technically yours to garden, to make subversive statements, protests, or as a form of direct action. The idea goes all the way back to 1973!

In other words, guerrilla gardeners take unloved or neglected land and assign it a new purpose – to make things pretty or useful. Cities are full of waste land and unused public spaces which people walk past every day without noticing. Spaces which would look a lot better if they were green!

Some guerrilla gardeners prefer to work at night when they can be more discreet. Others are activists who’ll do so in broad daylight, when everyone can see what they’re doing. Some choose to grow flowers to make places brighter. Others choose to grow fruit or vegetables (though care should be taken not to grow anything edible in places where plants might absorb toxins).

I don’t know why I haven’t posted any guerrilla gardening things on this blog yet, and I think I should change that.

In the meantime, here are some links!

What is guerrilla gardening?

sunflower-avenue

To reiterate others, when gardening make sure to keep accessibility, invasive species, and potential poisons in mind.

Possible (and incomplete) list of things to keep in mind

1. Does it get it the way of paths or walkways? Consider what it would be like for someone walking, or with a wheelchair, stroller, white cane…

2. Check the species isn’t invasive in your area. If you’re in north america here’s a useful wikipedia page

3. Try to avoid plants that have allergenic pollen. Here’s another list of plants to avoid

4. You might want to avoid poisonous plants. Of course, a lot of plants are poisonous in large quantities so this isn’t always of the utmost priority to completely avoid all of them. Here’s another list.

5. Does the block access to or view of important information? For example, can people still read directions or access water fountains? Consider people at all different heights from little kids to tall people.

Anything else people can think of?

Y’all are really great, you know that? @gayingupspace too, I saw your post.

Even while writing that, I was thinking about writing out some advice about how to be responsible about this, but it was late and I was tired. This is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind!

Anyone else have any thoughts?

I have been here, multiple times! By referring to the order as a “Little Rosa”, you don’t have to make as big a deal out of the fact that you’re seeking help.

And believe it or not, it gets better. Rosa’s also gives out sweatshirts to the homeless (or sells them to the general public) that has information on local soup kitchens and even computer training in the area, on an insert sewn inside the sweatshirt.

Feeling catastrophic about the future?

You can start by helping your local community.

Working on a small scale when we face massive global problems can feel like a waste of time, but it is in fact one of the most effective and positive forms of activism that you can do.

Growing the bonds within our communities helps to make them stronger, more self-sustainable and more stable.

We will be best prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead of us if we are part of cohesive, proactive community groups.

Within these groups, we can help to solve and prevent some of the common problems that face us today, such as a lack of food security, fuel poverty, loneliness and deprivation. Knowing that we can rely on our community to support us through difficult times, and in turn support the community, is vital for us to tackle the looming crises we face.

What counts as a community?

Community (noun): a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.

One of the first stumbling blocks when beginning with community activism is working out which communities you belong to. We each, in our lifetime, will belong to several communities at once, and these can include groups such as the people who live in your city, in your suburb, on your street, your school, your workplace, your extended family and friends.

A community can also count as a group of people which you share characteristics with, such as the LGBT community. This post focuses mainly on location specific communities but this could also be applied to characteristic based communities.

What can we get involved with?

Practicalities are a great place to start. Does everyone in your community have access to food, safe housing, clean water, enough clothes for their children, for instance?

There are a lot of well-established groups already working tirelessly within your community, you may never have noticed them before, but once you seek them out, you’ll be amazed at the work they do. It’s nearly always best to start by helping with an already existing group who can support you and give you resources, rather than try to start your own without any support. So, have a look at what is already in place in your local area. Here’s some ideas based on what is available in my area:

Food banks

Baby banks

Coffee mornings and lunch meetings for the elderly

Community gardens and allotments

The Gurdwara, which holds Langar (similarly, other places of worship which offer meals or places to sleep)

Soup kitchens

Hospice volunteers

Library volunteers

Refugee solidarity groups

Local political and activism groups

Environmental groups

Sure Start children’s centres

Local parks

Youth groups

LGBT+ spaces

Here are a few ideas

Donate items and money to your local food or clothing bank - find the one which is closest to your area and make sure that people know how to access it.

Volunteer at a soup kitchen, or set one up with help from Food not Bombs

Volunteer at (or start) a community allotment or garden so that people can learn to grow things and have access to fresh food

Donate to a baby bank (a baby bank is a place which collect clothes, nappies, and Moses baskets for new parents)

Join a tenant’s union

If you grow food in your garden, leave out surplus veg with a sign so that people can freely take some

Set up a Little Pantry in your community

Help to pick up litter and keep your area clean and safe

Rewild a patch of unused land

Set up a coffee morning so that elderly and lonely people can have some company

Organise for surplus food from supermarkets and restaurants to be redistributed around the community

Volunteer at your local library

Campaign to keep key services open (such as Sure Start children’s centres, local hospitals, libraries, and parks)

Help to spread the word about services and events online and with posters/leaflets (for instance, if a food bank is looking for more toiletries to be donated, then share!)

Get on friendly terms with your close neighbours (offer to share things with them)

Organise a cooperative shop or café, repair workshop or makers space

Join a local activism group (for instance, a local political party, an environmentalism group, a refugee solidarity group)

Find a way to make your hobby into a way to help others. Crochet blankets to give to the baby bank or refugee solidarity group, cook food to take to the soup kitchen, plant flowers in communal spaces, help people to organise and reach a bigger audience with a website or social media page, look into volunteering with a sports programme or reading programme.

Teach your skill. Perhaps you have a specific skill that you can help to teach to other groups. Offer your skills at a free repair workshop or maker’s space.

Obviously, there is too much here for just one person to get involved with, and burnout is a real issue with social activism. So, pick one or two things that suit your skills or passions. It is also really helpful to know what there is to offer to your community, so that you can recommend places/things to do to others - or for in case you need them yourself in the future.

Because of the Fifth Amendment, no one in the U.S. may legally be forced to testify against himself, and because of the Fourth Amendment, no one’s records or belongings may legally be searched or seized without just cause. However, American police are trained to use methods of deception, intimidation and manipulation to circumvent these restrictions. In other words, cops routinely break the law—in letter and in spirit—in the name of enforcing the law. Several examples of this are widely known, if not widely understood.

1) “Do you know why I stopped you?” Cops ask this, not because they want to have a friendly chat, but because they want you to incriminate yourself. They are hoping you will “voluntarily” confess to having broken the law, whether it was something they had already noticed or not. You may think you are apologizing, or explaining, or even making excuses, but from the cop’s perspective, you are confessing. He is not there to serve you; he is there fishing for an excuse to fine or arrest you. In asking you the familiar question, he is essentially asking you what crime you just committed. And he will do this without giving you any “Miranda” warning, in an effort to trick you into testifying against yourself.

2) “Do you have something to hide?” Police often talk as if you need a good reason for not answering whatever questions they ask, or for not consenting to a warrantless search of your person, your car, or even your home. The ridiculous implication is that if you haven’t committed a crime, you should be happy to be subjected to random interrogations and searches. This turns the concept of due process on its head, as the cop tries to put the burden on you to prove your innocence, while implying that your failure to “cooperate” with random harassment must be evidence of guilt.

3) “Cooperating will make things easier on you.” The logical converse of this statement implies that refusing to answer questions and refusing to consent to a search will make things more difficult for you. In other words, you will be punished if you exercise your rights. Of course, if they coerce you into giving them a reason to fine or arrest you, they will claim that you “voluntarily” answered questions and “consented” to a search, and will pretend there was no veiled threat of what they might do to you if you did not willingly “cooperate.” (Such tactics are also used by prosecutors and judges via the procedure of “plea-bargaining,” whereby someone accused of a crime is essentially told that if he confesses guilt—thus relieving the government of having to present evidence or prove anything—then his suffering will be reduced. In fact, “plea bargaining” is illegal in many countries precisely because it basically constitutes coerced confessions.)

4) “We’ll just get a warrant.” Cops may try to persuade you to “consent” to a search by claiming that they could easily just go get a warrant if you don’t consent. This is just another ploy to intimidate people into surrendering their rights, with the implication again being that whoever inconveniences the police by requiring them to go through the process of getting a warrant will receive worse treatment than one who “cooperates.” But by definition, one who is threatened or intimidated into “consenting” has not truly consented to anything.

5.) We have someone who will testify against you Police “informants” are often individuals whose own legal troubles have put them in a position where they can be used by the police to circumvent and undermine the constitutional rights of others. For example, once the police have something to hold over one individual, they can then bully that individual into giving false, anonymous testimony which can be used to obtain search warrants to use against others. Even if the informant gets caught lying, the police can say they didn’t know, making this tactic cowardly and illegal, but also very effective at getting around constitutional restrictions.

6) “We can hold you for 72 hours without charging you.” Based only on claimed suspicion, even without enough evidence or other probable cause to charge you with a crime, the police can kidnap you—or threaten to kidnap you—and use that to persuade you to confess to some relatively minor offense. Using this tactic, which borders on being torture, police can obtain confessions they know to be false, from people whose only concern, then and there, is to be released.

7) “I’m going to search you for my own safety.” Using so-called “Terry frisks” (named after the Supreme Court case of Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1), police can carry out certain limited searches, without any warrant or probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, under the guise of checking for weapons. By simply asserting that someone might have a weapon, police can disregard and circumvent the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches.

U.S. courts have gone back and forth in deciding how often, and in what circumstances, tactics like those mentioned above are acceptable. And of course, police continually go far beyond anything the courts have declared to be “legal” anyway. But aside from nitpicking legal technicalities, both coerced confessions and unreasonable searches are still unconstitutional, and therefore “illegal,” regardless of the rationale or excuses used to try to justify them. Yet, all too often, cops show that to them, the Fourth and Fifth Amendments—and any other restrictions on their power—are simply technical inconveniences for them to try to get around. In other words, they will break the law whenever they can get away with it if it serves their own agenda and power, and they will ironically insist that they need to do that in order to catch “law-breakers” (the kind who don’t wear badges).

Of course, if the above tactics fail, police can simply bully people into confessing—falsely or truthfully—and/or carry out unconstitutional searches, knowing that the likelihood of cops having to face any punishment for doing so is extremely low. Usually all that happens, even when a search was unquestionably and obviously illegal, or when a confession was clearly coerced, is that any evidence obtained from the illegal search or forced confession is excluded from being allowed at trial. Of course, if there is no trial—either because the person plea-bargains or because there was no evidence and no crime—the “exclusionary rule” creates no deterrent at all. The police can, and do, routinely break the law and violate individual rights, knowing that there will be no adverse repercussions for them having done so.

Likewise, the police can lie under oath, plant evidence, falsely charge people with “resisting arrest” or “assaulting an officer,” and commit other blatantly illegal acts, knowing full well that their fellow gang members—officers, prosecutors and judges—will almost never hold them accountable for their crimes. Even much of the general public still presumes innocence when it comes to cops accused of wrong-doing, while presuming guilt when the cops accuse someone else of wrong-doing. But this is gradually changing, as the amount of video evidence showing the true nature of the “Street Gang in Blue” becomes too much even for many police-apologists to ignore.

One of the biggest realizations with dealing with cops for me was the fact that they CAN lie, they are 100% legally entitled to lie, and they WILL whether you’re a victim of crime, accused of committing a crime or anything else

Seriously if you ever find yourself in custody don’t say shit until you’ve got some counsel with you. No cop is your friend in that situation.

Being working class is like this:

ummmmmm(: maybe if you spent a little bit less money on frivolous luxuries like entertainment (: you wouldn’t be a stupid broke bitch who deserves to be poor(: just some friendly advice(:

This is an oversimplification and a bad graphic.

socialistexan

That’s literally my expenses. I took a screenshot of what the app I use to track my spending is telling me.

It’s my actual lived experience holy shit.

omni-rhombus

@cutecajunlizard’s take was so hot, they incinerated themselves

cookingwithroxy

I’m gonna have to comment on this tho…

This really doesn’t say anything. Like, that’s their expenditures over the last week, what about income? What about the prior weeks?

It’s still an oversimplification and a bad graphic, because it’s such a fragmental snapshot of OP’s life. It could literally have been ‘The week started yesterday and I just paid rent’.

‘This is my life’ doesn’t actually address anything.

switch-up-snowfox

Also if your paying 900 a week for mortgage or rent then either you need to renegotiate your mortgage or your getting scammed.

shatteredangel123

Yeah this is bullshit. The fact that they didn’t do monthy or yearly shows this is bullshit. Plus they don’t provide income

Let me guess another mc donalds cashier calling themselves working class

socialistexan

It’s literally an illustration of much I have to cut back on the week rent is due, jesusfuck, people. I won’t tell you my income, but I can tell you I’m a single person who makes over $17/hr at a full time 40 hour a week job. And I still have to cut back that much the week rent is due.

Also, a McDonald’s cashier would be working class?? The fuck do you think working class is you fucking moron.

shatteredangel123

so you make around 35k a year? Lmao. Congratulations, you’re in the top 1% of the world. So now it’s your turn to gib me dat.

Go get a marketable skill, work in construction or mechanics, and learn what real working class is. Fucking standing at a air conditioned cash register where the worst accident is spilling soda on your shoe isn’t working class.

socialistexan

I have a fucking degree in media production, but fucking surprise, my marketable skill actually would pay me less with worse benefits! Almost like everyone is getting underpaid and overworked! Weird! But also retail involves marketable skills (put customer service on you resume and watch how much that shit boosts you up!), but it’s usually skills that are undervalued by people who have never actually had to work in their lives (like you).

Also, you’re a fucking idiot if you think retail involves just standing around all day. I have to build displays (not like paper little things, actually build entire walls out), clean all the bathrooms and do the custodial work, lift 30-40lbs up ladders, including mannequins and shelves, I have to count the money we made that day and if I’m even a dollar off I get investigated and possibly fired, and a bunch of other bullshit.

Oh, yeah, and deal with entitled brats like you who look down on and treat me like human garbage all fucking day.

So get fucked.

sceolangx

It’s so unreal how many people are clueless to the struggles of the working class. smh

pandarican

According to Shatteredangel123, cashiers aren’t working class. Apparently you have to be in construction or be a mechanic for your class struggle to matter. Shatteredangel123, and people who hold these nonsensical and baseless ideas, are morons. Don’t be like Shatteredangel123.
