Realizing Democracy: Why We Need to Switch Off the Autopilot and Take Control · BG · berlinergazette.de · EN|DE

We must defend democracy, not as it currently exists, but by making it a reality. As long as the economy remains outside the realm of democratic control, democracy is intertwined with a destructive, colonial economic system that threatens our existence on this planet. In his contribution to the “Deep Democracy” series, Lukas Warning argues, that no socio-ecological transformation can occur unless the restructuring of the economy is subject to collective control. A plea for realizing democracy through socialization.

“Recommending people to switch to ‘European tech’ tends to obfuscate the uncomfortable truth that the corporations at home are bound by the same dynamics of capitalism like their US counterparts. […] I would love to see messages and campaigns that combine tips for less terrible alternatives with systemic critique and calls for substantial action. […] If a critique of capitalism and a call to engage in thinking about and moving towards alternatives is not part of a campaign about ‘digital sovereignty’ then such a campaign is a trap that sells us freedom in the form of a larger cage.”

A larger cage: about the ongoing calls for "digital sovereignty"

Calls for "digital sovereignty" are still everywhere. They are a central narrative of contemporary European economic policies, they serve as powerful justifications for corporations to call for subsidies and they are also omnipresent among progressive digital policy NGOs and activists.

This book «Don't talk about politics» already recommanded by #MichaelBurns seems to be an absolute read, if we believe his discussion with the author #SarahSteinLubrano. One basic tennet sticking with me is the claim that #reason, #facts and #debates almost never change people's mind on politic. What do are changes within their local social environment, and this happens through mostly #afk #socialization. #Digital tools can help boost it, but they rarely create it.

If you want to join apositive subreddit for the blind, try r/BlindandFine. I do not claim to be perfect. I am bound to make mistakes. But I am also willing to listen to members and try to make this the best community I can. The subject matter is far less strict than at r/blind, since not everything needs to be related to blindness. This is more of a place where we can get to know each other and have fun. We allow sighted people to join as well. However, I do ask that only those over eighteen do so. Please also note that this is not a therapy/support group. If you need that, then r/blind is for you.

Hype for the Future 51W: Additional Events of Importance

Preamble While the Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds is already renowned for hosting around one million people at the annual Ohio State Fair over the course of twelve (12) days every year, the State Fair does not actually represent the complete story of the City of Columbus or even the area around the Fairgrounds. Though numerous street addresses are identified with the Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds, the most commonly represented (and technically accurate) of the addresses is […]

First Impressions and Eventgoers

When I connect with new people, I would like to start with my first impression of cultural openness, without forcing myself into my personal politics and political values too quickly. So while I may support diversity, equity, and inclusion principles just by being myself, I would like to start with my commitment to just being myself around other people. Regardless of my physical location or event venue, I would like to start my eventgoing journey of social networking with excitement and […]
