This is our implementation of democracy not working. One might even argue that our system is not actually democratic, because, as this example shows, neither the will nor the interests of the people are represented.

Technology@lemmy.world•Switzerland bolted 5,000 solar panels onto a dam wall 8,000 feet up in the freezing Alps. The plant now makes three times more winter power than any farm down in the valleysEnglish

2·2 months agoSometimes you have to us big tech to reach more people. Many groups also use Instagram, some also mastodon. But you should certainly not use it for organizing. If they don’t have a signal group or similar, I would stay away.
You could look into environmental groups. On the national level, there are climate defiance and scientist rebellion in the US on a national level (and probably a lot more). Maybe they also have local groups that you could join? Or you could support remotely and start building a local group (that’s hard but someone has to start).

2·2 months agoFirst of all, thank you for (trying) to inform people.
It is really important that we do not see ourselves as passive, waiting for other more skilled people to solve the current problems. Everyone of us can do something. Although sometimes it doesn’t turn out as we had hoped, but not trying would bring is nowhere.
I don’t exactly know about the organization of anonymous, but for most groups there are a lot of possibilities to support. Legal support, social media and website support, giving interviews, food and material, logistics as a few examples.
You could also join other local groups against datacenters. I think there is a lot of campaigning going on.

I’ve been using nym for a few month now. It generally works and I’m convinced by the project. However, they are still implementing features and there are often small issues (slow connections, no servers found, needs new permissions on Linux after update, etc.)

Why is this a screenshot of Twitter, whose owner does the exact same thing that is criticized here? Bernie must not post exclusively on Twitter, right? So why not post his opinions from somewhere else to not advertise for such despicable behavior that be rightfully criticizes?
