Anarchy is the hidden resolve that everyone will eventually come to terms with once societal collapse reaches a certain point.
Does anyone really think...
...the economy is growing?
...Covid is over or nothing to worry about?
...the political establishment is truly concerned for every person?
...global temps will be halted and not go beyond 1.5C?
...corporations will stop or even slow emissions?
...joblessness, homelessness, racial disparity, bigotry and other kinds of discrimination is improving?
Will you look to the administration to fix it? Our leaders, the same people who are still participating in insider trading, corporate lobbying, and the other corruptive practices which have been going on for decades?
It's the PEOPLE my friends! It's US who must fix what we didn't break. It is up to us to take up the responsibility dumped upon us by the political and corporate spheres who told us they can take care of it. We believed them... and we still do to some point.
Stop fucking believing them. Boycott, protest, withdraw all support for these institutions & corporations.
#Mastodon and the #Fediverse needs to be more honest with itself in my opinion. We still live in a society tarnished by inequality and inequity there’s an imbalance of power between instances because of that who can afford to make an instance and who can’t. Moderation is great but we need to realize mastodon will continue to be an imperfect platform while we live in an oppressive society under oppressive rule. It’s good to create safe spaces for users but moderating bigots into there own bigoted corner of the internet will present problems in the future.
We can not fall into the trap of convincing ourselves otherwise isolating the bigots is a must for our safety now but we should be trying to address systems like capitalism, racism, the criminal justice system, poverty and more if we want to honestly build a better mastodon and a better world. I just hope we don’t pretend blocking communication from people who have no idea how to contextualize the problems facing us all is the answer to our problems in and of it self. it’s a tactic to actually start dealing with destructive institutions proactively in my opinion at least. #Anarchism
Also I think we should remember institutional basis ruins deep and humans are humans no matter what and our current institutions don’t always like to treat people kind and with their humanity in mind first.
I think we should keep people’s humanity in mind and know we are no “superior” or “inferior” than anyone no matter what they do. being human is a complex natural occurrence we don’t really understand fully yet and modern society hasn’t homed an environment that encourages humility or conscious consideration for the plight your fellow human beings face.
In my opinion We should be more aware of trying to create such an environment if we want to see positive change. #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #Fedi #AntiCapitalism #AntiCarceral #Abolition #Anarchy

All in all I’m just asking people to keep this in mind but do you!
The society we'd dreamed of for so long has run its course. It's crashing, and what's left are illusory fragments of feel good platitudes.
It's time to put it aside, move on and build our replacement.
