Is news really activism? Will this place be the change u wanna cause? - eviltoast

Yeah I get it, everything fucking sucks and sometimes we get a win. I’ve been here for 30 minutes tops and I can’t remember half of the headlines I’ve read, can you? There’s like no engagement on any of the posts here and there’s probably a dozen aggregators that post the same shit you’re looking at.

Shit that was written to nickel and dime you somehow, or lower down the food chain in an academic format for people actually paid to solve problems.

Leave the articles to the climate scientists and policy makers: This instance needs a place for people who get shit done, people who wanna change themselves and their immediate communities. We don’t have enough of that, anywhere.

    Fair enough. I would never do anything illegal! I meant more beginner friendly direvt action such as protests, phone banking, emailing reps. And telling people about worrying bills. I’m no Just Stop Oil activist. Still you have a great point, even protest planning needs to be kept out of the public eye.
