@degrowthuk@mstdn.socialAt #DegrowthOslo25 Conference chair Erik Gómez notes that when the Great Financial Crash and the Covid pandemic struck, we were not ready.
Green Parties largely domesticated.
Left parties often seem to be looking down on people.
We shouldn't be trying to educate people but to learn from them.

@trochee@dair-community.socialMarty McFly had so many missed opportunities.
- see "Folsom Prison Blues" performed live
- save James Dean from his own driving
- see the first version of Kermit live on TV
- interfere with the founding of Westboro Baptist
- visit Disneyland on opening day
- give Emmett Till a safe ride home (in a Delorean)

@aral@mastodon.ar.alSomeone educate the admins at mastodon.social that holocaust and Holocaust are different things. Note the capitalisation.
What israel is perpetrating in Palestine is *a* holocaust, not *the* Holocaust. And yes, it is genocide. And yes, they’re also guilty of close to eight decades of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler colonialism. All these things can be (and are) true at the same time.
Basically, if you’re defending israel in any way, shape, or form right now, you’re the w…

@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioAs a marketer by profession I feel this very deeply and struggle to find a way to communicate to fellow people on the left that the methods and tools for communicating messages and persuading masses of people SHOULD be used, as effectively as possible, to promote facts and values we align with.
I get that power is uncomfortable when so many parties visibly abuse it for malicious purposes.
But power in and of itself is a tools that needs to be wielded, and we should be cognizant about targeting it at changes that will improve our societies and help us and the planet.
Yes, don’t use power blindly. Don’t manipulate people. But using persuasive, effective tactics for mass communication to educate people on the truth and get them aboard initiatives that will help them??? Why is that evil?
It feels like the left sees power, influence, and thus marketing / PR / propaganda as too black-and-white. We need to be comfortable in navigating the grey. https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/114913847088444610

We must raise money to fund our first deployment.
Money that will help cover vans, production crews, legal infrastructure, and community coordination.
Chip in any amount you can to help us expose ICE’s abuses and power our Liberty Vans;
and educate the American people on…
