After a few months without a Twitter account, you start to not care at all about Elon Musk. You feel at home in that decentralised community where oligarchs are powerless.
Sure, there’s plenty of problems. But it’s not about fighting an evil powerful figure. It’s about discussing, taking small actions. Human stuff.
You didn’t win by fighting an unstoppable force. You simply walked away.
And then, it hits you.
What if we could to the same for everything else?
Like in @pluralistic’s novel.
@ploum I would do ... this is the plan
but for now I can't : my house owner still ask for €, as the state and the energy providers and the local shop for groceries
yes there is the g1/libre money project but 🤔
@pluralistic
@olm_e ...it is a walk away, not a jet flight, so you can take one step at a time.
We each have many attachments to capitalism that can be dropped. The money can be handled by a credit union instead of a bank. It's a step. The grocery store visits can be reduced by joining or starting a food buying club. If you look for it, you will probably find many small institutions of mutual aid to help your journey.
