A starter pack of questions to help think about "discovery" and "knowledge":
1. When was X discovered?
2. Once it was discovered, who knew X?
3. 1000 years later, who knew/knows/will know X?
4. Is X true?
5. Which groups of people would say it's true vs. false?
When X is "a² b² = c² in a right triangle" we think there are nice clean answers to these questions. But when X is "COVID-19 transmits via small airborne aerosols and a mask is needed to reduce the risk of infection" things get more interesting, particularly the answer to question 1. Does something count as "discovered" if many/most people would say it's false?
People love to answer this question by appeal to "scientific consensus" but the scientific consensus on aerosol transmission is still shaky if you consider certain big institutions, and even if it's mostly settled now, there was definitely a period between "experts on transmission know it" and "there's a scientific consensus." So which counts as discovery? What if knowledge is held secret, like many military technologies? What about historical facts that become censored?

Hey!
Breaking News: Mindestlohn-Gegner wollten vom Volk beschlossene lokale Mindestlöhne vor Gericht kippen. Jetzt sind sie damit vor Bundesgericht gescheitert. Doch nun greift die Konzernlobby im Bundeshaus zu einem neuen Trick: In wenigen Tagen wollen sie im Parlament einen landesweiten Mindestlohn-Stopp durchdrücken.
Unterschreibe jetzt den Appell und sende ein klares Signal: Löhne sollen zum Leben reichen!

It's also worth thinking about interpersonal conflict between marginalized people with different experiences. Who mediates? How? How do you account for your existing biases when mediating people with different experiences of oppression than your own?
Practice can help answer those questions before you have to "do it live." I'd personally love resources on this, because I had to "do it live" as an organizer, and that was awful.

Hello, reply guys!
“Fascism” is not a generic catch-all for everything awful. It is a word with a meaning. My definition of the word is a form of supremacist ethnonationalism that:
(1) demands the eradication of democracy and the installation of a dictator with total power over both government and industry, forcing all individuals to function first and foremost to advance the power of the state,
(2) designates some particular group(s) of people as naturally inferior Others whose presence contaminates society and is an existential threat to it,
(3) blames these Others for society’s problems and calls for their complete subordination, expulsion, or extermination, a project which demands the total militarization of society.
One can quibble over details there, but’s the rough shape of it. As angry as I am over the militarism and imperialism and environmental ruin and oligarchism that’s marbled throughout US politics — and as long as I’ve been putting my boots on the ground against it! — the definition above does •not• apply to every elected official or political party in US politics. But it •does• apply to the Republican Party in its current form.
