Bluesky isn’t part of the Fediverse, it uses the AT protocol, not ActivityPub or the likes of it.

Add the South African apartheid import to that list too.

Don’t forget Sweden’s PM Olof Palme. I have a suspicion he was murdered by the CIA, for his criticism against the Vietnam war.

Too long, I’d suggest “boss-busting”, after “rentbusting”. Or “bosses keeping workers hostage”, maybe?

Doing paternity leave is a good must and normal. Being an absent parent is not good.

Godspeed and congratulations with your child!

Which six companies? Let’s assume we count “social media” as “media”.

Meta, Musk Rat & Co, Google, what else?

This is the concept behind ‘embrace, extend, extinguish’, basically.

No thanks, replacing one imperialist for another won’t help the world.

A kilometre is about 1/10,000th the distance from the North Pole to the Equator.

A mile is 1,760 yards. Why? Because I said so!

The Zapatists, of course. Or if we go by past ones, the Makhnovshchina movement!

A mass movement to have liberation from authoritarianism AND capitalism? Count me in!

There are bikes for handicapped people. And if cognitive issues are a thing, then cars would be far more problematic: crash a bike into a person, you get minor wounds. Crash a car into a person, and you get a death caused by the car driver (who sometimes gets off scot free).

And if something is ableist, it’s cars for disabling you from walking/wheelchairing anywhere safely due to the stroads taking up all the space.

This is not the best argument. You could sell literally anything for drugs.

If you wanted to tackle drug selling, the following works better:

a) helping homeless people to get a home, b) unemployed people to get a job w/ livable wage, c) and having safe drugs made by hospitals under strict controls, and used by addicts in controlled environments like hospitals.

The last one especially is crucial, however paradoxical it seems. It’s because then they don’t need to buy from other addicts or the sellers (who will be very dangerous), and don’t overdose, and with the extra money, can pay eg. rent, groceries.

The “just kick off from drugs” doesn’t work - if you ever have had an addiction, you know that it’s hard. It only gets easier to kick off if other bad factors in life are removed. Only then is kicking off easier.

Now, let’s wonder about cars…

Only if you have the bicycle equivalent of a Ferrari and don’t lock it. Same as cars really.

This remark probably won’t convince you, but it can help for others.

So, for groceries you can use a bicycle bag on the back of your bicycle. Or a bag bearer. Or a bicycle with an extra long back.

For going to the next state there’s something called “grow more muscle”. I know obese people here who manage to bike that distance easily.

As for sleep, that’s for a bed. But that said, there are bicycles with which you can bicycle sitting/laying in a comfortable position (recumbent bicycles). Some of them also look look cool as hell (velomobiles).

there can be a pursuit of happiness in spite of the collapse of religion

More like, thanks to the collapse. (And also if the economy were more social and people less far right!)

Yeah, this is my stance as well. There are also better high-end alternatives nowadays, like an electric BMW.
