Working Class History#OtD 10 Mar 1958 a general strike began in Eritrea, which had been given to Ethiopia by the UN and UK. Unions were banned, and Amharic language was imposed in schools.

GeePawHillVote? Yes.
Simple sabotage? Yes.
Take it to court? Yes.
Write or act or sing or make? Yes.
March in the streets? Yes.
General strike? Yes.
Record? Yes.
And countless others I can't think of right now.
*None* of these will be enough.
Every *one* of them will be a part of it.
Resist!
Got *dammit* I'm tired of alleged anti-fascists telling other anti-fascists that their action won't work.
Wake the fuck up, people.
1) *No* single action will be enough.
2) *Every* single action counts.
As far as I'm concerned, wasting time arguing with people on your own side about what is the one true action is *counter*-revolutionary behavior.
Stop cos-playing amateur-hour armchair analyst and start taking actions and supporting the actions of others.
FoolishOwlAfter a few classes, the two young women stopped attending, and the remote instructor was sick and didn't call in, if I remember rightly. Anyway, it was only men in the class at that point, and the instructor, who was a man, made some grossly sexist and racist joke about the other instructor's name. A few people laughed.
I dropped the class. I regret not formally complaining.
I've suspected the two young women picked up on something I didn't, and I've always wondered what.

For the first few classes, there were only two students who were women, two young Latinas who sat together. I noticed they started frowning when the instructor who was a man was speaking, but I wasn't sure why. He wasn't an interesting instructor and I remember being disappointed in his incuriosity when I asked him a question, but otherwise I didn't see a problem with him at first.

It's hard to even know you've got a blindspot, let alone work out what's in that blindspot.
I was in a class on Cisco networking at a community college. The students were almost all men, more disproportionate than my other computer and networking classes, which were already bad. It was a hybrid class, with one instructor, a man, in the room, and another, a woman, who was remote.

Andreas Kworld nowadays, it's quite possible that Y is down for completely not related reasons. Or the via an indirect dependency pathway that nobody thought about.
(That can be stuff as stupid that something being down shifts traffic pattern and thus acts as an unintended DDoS on something your system requires.)

Flippin' 'eck, Tucker!Meanwhile, because Mastodon server admins are all cheapskates and we're not going to pay the sort of prices for hosting that AWS charge, the Fediverse keeps on chugging away happily while the corporate internet falls apart.
