Fellas, the FOSS team gets +1 c:

That’s right. That’s the reason I shared content about why we have our position.

Just a clarification:

You will not be called a “bootlicker” because you support think cops are there to protect you. That’s something reasonable to believe.

You will be called a “bootlicker” because you are in support of the state, which defends the interest of those in power (aka. political class, “the rich,” bourgeoisie, etc) and its soldiers, which are cops.

I mean no harm; I’m not calling you a “bootlicker.” You are a decent human just sharing your experience. I want to bring “the other side” perspective in a friendly way. I was thinking like you until I was at the other end of their macanas for helping other decent people.

The ACAB is a widespread movement in South America and has good reasons to exist since it is adjacent to Antifa. But the overall reason to hate cops is based on the argument that I explained before in a very brief way.

Since I abide by the movement, I invite you to check it out so you can engage more deeply in the conversation. For a starter, I may interest you in:

• The excellent channel of Philosophy Tube (that has some fascinating videos of other topics, 10/10) and her video about How Police Make Up The Law (ft. LegalEagle) or this one Violence & Protest. Her work is highly focused on going in-depth to help you understand the arguments about various positions, such as philosophical dialogs, with a bit of theatrics to keep it interesting.
• Or if you are shorter on time and are up for some more humor, check out Thought Slime video about “All Cops are Bad” where he navigates the subject.

And sorry for not sharing other voices outside the anglosphere who cover the topic. It is just that they don’t speak English, so we can’t understand each other.

Take care, fellow stranger.

Damn.

Nice idea :)

o_o Context?

This is great :) I hope this brings more devs to Godot so we can get this great tool to be the best it can be for the GameDev Community!

Not gonna lie; that news got on my nerves.

I know the history of the EZLN, and while I understand this is not the first time they have to deal with these sad issues, it always gets to me that for revolutions to fight their way in Central and South America is not just about fighting the state: is fighting the other elements such as cartels that are ubiquitous over here.

This is a call of courage to understand the “Reasons of the Wolf” and provide any support if possible.

Sure, here are some examples:

• EZLN: Wikipedia
• AANES: Wikipedia

As you may imagine, they aren’t finding their way to exist easy. But they sure are having success in learning how to create a horizontal society.

Yeah, is a bad deal.

But that’s not the point, the point of this approach is that like in cooperatives, there are minimum productivity goals and many roles to play, and so on. Obviously like you point out, no one is that stupid.

Now, consider the needs of people who are old or need help. Like helping your old man, I’m sure you don’t mind getting more apples. I wouldn’t. Like you, I would get angry if I’m the only useful one hahaha, but that what productivity and organization is for. No one lives in a bubble.

Now… What you said, I’ve seen it happen in capitalism. Not in small businesses, normally the owner is in the store too. I mean when we talk about the big bucks like a better example. They expect you to handle of those apples, and ain’t offering you a comfy home neither.

Soon your crew will be serving sandwiches named after me (8)

Once you go FOSS, you never go back.

Indeed. Yet, hope to live in a green and tolerant society is never dead until we “the greens”, “the anarchists”, “the socialists”, “the terrorists”, “the hippies”, are all dead.

Hopelessness gives space to inaction, and the power to change things requires being active. I firmly believe in the people, like you, who cares and take action. Hence, is reason enough for me to keep on fighting: connect means and ends. It is possible that we’ll die and we’ll still not be where we want to be, but the mere act to organize and work on this project is to make the idea a material reality. It will make easier for more people to follow.

My friend, let’s not give more space to hopelessness, since the work we have to do is to not let it grow. And if we can, even plant the seeds of hope like the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) or Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) show us. Or even, in the case for Brazil, Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST).

It depends, in a privacy-conscious way or as an investment? Because in the first term, Monero is totally cool for privacy. Because as an investment, en general crypto is … 😅

You are right. That means we better hurry !

The think with ‘justice’ is that’s a social process. That’s why we use pitchforks, to make sure to get that message across: there are consequences for non-equivocally evil deeds.

I would suggest to, first, join your local Eco-social organizations. Normally the “take a gun a shoot a motherfucker” approach, while very satisfying to say, it’s usually way less effective than organize with your community.

And while we are on destroying it, making a greener and more tolerant one 😀 🍃 🏳️‍🌈
