Zur Einordnung:

Befähigung des Anderen: #Organizing

Herausarbeiten einer Sache durch ein Gespräch, in dem Eins das Nächste ergibt; gemeinsame Bearbeitung und Lösung von Aufgaben: #Deliberation

Die Abgeordneten und Journalisten von #SocialMedia gestellte Falle funktioniert deshalb so gut, weil sie paradigmatisch im Modus des #Mobilizing stecken geblieben sind. Sehr praktisch für Apparate, die genau für dieses Bedürfnis Versprechen verkaufen. Tragisch daran: Alles ist nur noch Aktionismus. 6/x

#Russian #soldiers in Ukraine NOT being forced to fight against their will

Most Russian soldiers fighting in #Ukraine chose to do so, & did so only for cold, hard #cash

“Many think that the #Russians are forced to fight. In fact, the #Kremlin is afraid of #mobilizing its people,” Russia research fellow at Institute for Study of War

Putin relies on paying huge sums of money to entice people to sign up voluntarily ~40k/mo per #NATO

No, Russian soldiers in Ukraine are not being forced to fight against their will

The misconception that Russian soldiers are forced to fight against their will in Ukraine is one that reaches even into the highest echelons of the U.S. government. Earlier this year, U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly lamented the deaths of soldiers on both sides, seemingly equating their suffering and the circumstances under which they found themselves in the trenches. "Every day people are dying. Young handsome soldiers are being killed. Young men, like my sons. On both sides. All over

There is no #fediverse platform for political action, right? What do you all think? Do we need something like #mastodon or #mobilizon, strictly for the purpose of political #mobilizing ?

What do you think?

No, Twitter/x, Facebook etc. are fine

The fediverse is too small. Not a chance

There already are good alternative platforms

What’s the best way to wake people up to the fascist ground game in local communities?

I know people shy away from “radical” words, but at this point the only other phrase that comes to mind is neo-Nazi’s.

For example, for people sharing memes of Musk’s salute. Joking about that is an attempt to normalize the behavior. These are the same people attacking diversity and inclusion in local schools using disinformation distribution tactics in local politics that mirror their leader.

Are public comments with evidence enough? Not talking screens either, but disrupting a well organized alt-right ground game. Speeches? Music? Signs?

Any and all feedback appreciated! What has been effective for you?

How To Build a Culture of #Organizing:

https://portside.org/2024-11-30/how-build-culture-organizing-conversation-marshall-ganz

A lot of #mobilizing is tactics in search of a strategy. There is no strategic context to it because there is no organizational venue in which that strategy is being developed.

How To Build a Culture of Organizing: A Conversation With Marshall Ganz

Truth to Power is a regular series of conversations with writers about the promises and pitfalls of movements for social justice. From the roots of racial capitalism to the psychic toll of poverty, from resource wars to popular uprisings, the interviews in this column focus on how to write about the myriad causes of oppression and the organized desire for a better world.
