@Llosgi People's ideas on how things work are entrenched from a very early age. If capitalism is all they know, it's very hard to imagine any alternative. Especially if it's coming in some ad-hoc way from a stranger.
Also, people are used to donating and sharing. The money they leave is a token of thanks and appreciation. They want to support you.
HELP NEEDED: Please help me help everyone find Australian #climate and #energy advocates, communicators and educators on this hairy elephant app.
Can you please
1. Boost this post (boosting is just the mastodon name for a retweet)?
2. Reply with the full @username@server
handle for everyone you know who fits that category?
This way lots of people can add to the list, so I can get a reasonably full one. As ever in this space, it'd be great to avoid the list being all white men so if you can turn your mind to that, it'd be wonderful.
Like Santa, I'm making a list and checking it twice. I'll also make it public.
As much as I love this idea, people do get joy out of giving.
So, here's 3 alternatives to nothing:
- Give a handmade gift. If you're not particularly creative, grow a small plant, fix something or watch some online videos on how to cook/sew/create something)
- Give an experience (think yoga / language / art class, tickets to a game or concert, massage etc.)
- Make a personalised card with drawings / pressed flowers / photos and write in it a story about something you've shared or done with that person.
You can celebrate occasions with sharing, without buying a lot of STUFF.

@Authenticdmckee I see you're in the UK, where there are many cohousing communities.

Ofc most probably wouldn't identify as anarchist but if they are an intentional community with members actively participating in the design and management of their own community without a 'leader', then they are living by anarchist principles, no ?
Food co-ops are also another good example of people self-organising. There are many examples out there. Maybe set a challenge for your students to find some ?
