Grundrechte, Menschenrechte, „alle Menschen sind gleichwertig“ denken Freiheit und Chancen­gleichheit individuell: ich als Person habe bestimmte Rechte und sollte auch die gleichen Chancen haben. Eine Gesellschaft, die dies möglichst gut gewährleistet, nennen wir gerecht.
Konservative denken viel stärker in Familie¹ und über die Zeit² hinweg: Status und Vermögen von deinen Ahnherren zu erben, ist „gerecht“, ist deine Familie „höhergestellt“, dann auch du, Akademiker­kinder werden wiede…

Too high concentrations of PFAS 'forever chemicals' found in all waterways and lakes of the Dutch rural province of Friesland, often a factor of 1 to 10 above the legal limit, and sometimes worse than that. Water management board asks for a complete ban. https://nos.nl/l/2619066

PFAS in alle Friese wateren aangetroffen, waterschap wil verbod
Het Friese waterschap bracht als eerste op provinciaal niveau in beeld waar PFAS in wateren zat.

Logistics in the technical sense (part of supply chain management) is a subset of logistics in the vernacular sense ("the handling of the details of an operation"). You can explore this second and more general sense, and thereby build an understanding of the first and more technical sense, by iteratively asking the question, "how does one make that happen" and follow questions from there.
A big part of organizing is figuring out the (vernacular) logistics (and helping others figure it out). You want to organize a seed swap? Ok. How does one make that happen? Well, you need seeds, people, a place, and perhaps a time. How does one make that happen? You can forage seeds or you can buy seeds for a garden and swap extras. How do you get people to come? Well, figure out where you want people to come from and choose an accessible place. What's the easiest thing to do? Get people from your neighborhood. How does one make that happen? Well, maybe put up flyers. How does one make that happen? Well, print them on your printer if you have one, or at a library, then go post them up. Etc.
Keep asking questions until you either find a roadblock that you can't find a way around, or you find things you can do yourself (one of those things you can do yourself is asking friends to help).
If you practice the exercise of thinking about how things happen, you can start to find things that you can do yourself. You can start to understand what exists now, and you can imagine what's possible. By thinking about logistics, you can figure out how to replace things when they collapse or are dismantled. You can also identify things that can't easily be replaced, and try to figure out alternatives.
This practice is good for figuring out how to build, but it can also be a valuable practice for figuring out how to resist. Concentration camps and ethnic cleansing also require logistics. Mass displacement means moving people. How does one do that? People are generally going to be moved in planes or buses. How does one do that? Well, people get loaded on to planes or buses in specific places. Planes and buses need fuel. Planes are fueled at their airports, which may well be the same places where people are loaded on to them. There is a fuel depo and a fuel truck that makes flying people out of a specific place possible. How does the fuel get to that fuel depo? Well, that fuel is probably also delivered by truck. Someone drives those trucks. Someone fuels those planes. Someone clears the planes for takeoff. Someone fuels those busses. Someone drives those busses. And so on.
Logistics networks can be highly complex. The more complex the operation, the more possible points of failure and more possible points where pressure can be applied, where operations can be disrupted. Ethnic cleansing is a complicated operation. The logistics of disrupting complicated things tend to be much less complicated than the logistics of the complicated things themselves.
The Right has exploited this fact for a long time. Centralized social services are logistically complex. Public infrastructure is logistically complex. By destroying these things, they can loot public resources by privatizing the infrastructure and functionality.
But the things that support the Right are even more logistically complex. Oil, cars, AI data centers, internal paramilitary, these are extremely complicated and fragile. There are numerous pressure points, all of which can respond to numerous strategies.
If we want to win, we should reduce the influence of politics over the things we care about. We should focus on building distributed mutual aid networks that don't rely on state funding and aren't subject to the whims of politicians. This is also known as "dual power." That is, creating counter-institutions outside of the dominant political system. The Right already does this in the form of churches and corporations.
As we reduce our complexity, we can then press our complexity advantage against the things for which the Right *needs* the state: the apparatus of violence needed to maintain capital and enforce the dominant order.

BanRay.eu — Your face is not inventory

It's funny how ive been a systems person forever, and homelabbing forever, using Linux forever, but these days I'm not a power user at all. I just don't have much drive to fine tune my user experience at all.... Even kicking the tires on an path for RSS-based consumption makes me realize how much fine-tuning I need to do in terms of managing and filtering content, workflow, etc.
But this is the price I guess I have to pay if I want to detox from doom scrolling.
