Rolling with the momentum of the current moment, a strike on the payment of plan premiums should be considered. The collective understanding that the system must change or be dismantled can only be brought about by collective action. Please consider this proposal and discuss with others.
Hello, Everyone. I am part of an activist group of digital graffiti artists. We are planning a digital direct action campaign, so I figured I'd share it with you all.
We are The Kollective.
We are a cybernetic art group, and we are worldwide.
We embrace digital graffiti.
We seek to reclaim digital space for the people through incendiary art.
In this spirit, we invite you to engage in our first group action.
On Thanksgiving Day, 2024, we shall stage a digital demonstration.
We intend to occupy the comment sections and inboxes of America's biggest fast food chains and food distributors. This list includes Tyson, Wendys, McDonalds, etc.
The reasons are threefold:
To bring attention to food disparity in the U.S. and World Wide,
To show direct action, protest, and reclamation of digital space is possible: Even in the face of an internet more and more heavy handedly policed by the state,
And lastly, to foster new forms of media: an art for the age of the cyborg.

Hello there comrades, I came here to tell you what's in my neighbourhood and ask for advice.
For starters I live in a really small town, 530 inh tops, in my neighbourhood live 13 people (permanent residents).
What happened was that one of my non permanent neighbours (only comes by a weekend from time to time or in vacations) all of a sudden bought 4 houses in the hood, totalling 5 houses, what's happening is they're moving for the biggest one, and the other four will become airbnb which I found it disgusting it's like, the tourists come here to see each other, me and my gf feel like we're exhibit specimens of 'how does one live in the countryside?'
Any ideas how I could do an unpleasant stay for the tourists as much as possible to keep them away from here? I thought putting a column on the roof tiles and from time to time turn it on in the middle of the night or early in the morning.
Thank you for your attention.
Talking about Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Anyone had success at any public parks, college campuses, etc?
Years back I had a .pdf of a book that was titled similar to The Anarchist's Cookbook, but it had to do with performing direct action. I have since lost it, but would love to have it again.
Anybody know of this book/where I can find it?
Hi everyone.
Thanks for accepting me into this sub, but I feel I need to start with a vent, thats been bugging me for years now.
I first learned about climate change in my mid teens, now in my late teens. I was terrified from day one and continue to be so. Through the years I have admired people like JSO, XR, and other DA groups who bravely go out and stick up for the planet, for humanity. My issue is, however, I feel a moral obligation to join them on the streets, in the disruption groups, in the protests. However, theres just something there which just makes me uncomfortable even when thinking about going there, it's more or less a fear, perhaps a phobia. I don't know what it is, because I'm alright with crowds, I can deal with loud environments, but I am absolutely terrified of the risk, what's at stake, and more. Hence, I have never been to a single show of direct action, be it on Climate Change or anything else. I'm a subscriber to my local socialist party, but thats the first kind of activism in a sense that ive ever involved myself in. The issue therefore is clear, I feel like i'm betraying the planet with this anguish. They say pick a side, and I'd like to think that I have, but theres always this voice in my head that says 'Youre selfish and complicit (a big word for me) in the planet's destruction. Shame on you. You should be out there even if it makes you violently uncomfortable and scared, lest youre a traitor to us and our planet, single handedly robbing the next generation with no remorse'.
I have tonnes of remorse for this, mind, and I'm shivering even typing this, not just because of my fear towards stuff like what you guys so bravely do, but also if your reaction will be the same as what my brain tells me. So, I ask these..
Most importantly, am I ok? Is what my brain says true??? If its anything, I have been extremely vocal about these issues, but even then I still don't think i'm doing enough, and into the rabbit hole I go
What else can I do to help you guys without putting myself at (too much) risk? If that's even useful...
Thanks, and most importantly, I'm so sorry...
I’ve been thinking about how much suffering exists in the world and would love to talk about solutions.
