I dont think calling people a fed is fine or something we shoild be fine wirh in anarchist circles

As already pointed out Ted has highly problematic views that should also be present in his Manisfesto. There are probably anarchist text with similar perspectives that are not so full of bigotry. I would suggest looking into anti civ or other technology critical text on the anarchist library.

Besides that a person that I find very inspiring sometimes mentions the Unabomber and they seemed to be able to get atleast thought provoking perspextives put the Kaczynskis work.

Hey sorry but why are you reacting like that? Calling someone a cop in anarchist circles is a really heavy accusation and should only be done with actual proof. I also think we should own the fact that anarchists have different or sometimes stupid opinions. Othering people that we dont agree with does not foster an environment where people discuss openly and feel comfortable stating their views or asking questions.

Your second comment seems way better because it gives the person you are responding to and all other readers a chance to educate themselves.

To Change Everything - an anarchist appeal by crimethinc - because its an intro text that really shows the 2 points I really care about: anarchism is about life / living and anarchist ideals can be applied everywhere

Against the Logic of the Guillotine Why the Paris Commune Burned the Guillotine—and We Should Too - just a good text why shouldnt use the tools of the opressors (the state)

The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin - using sci-fi to show how an anarchist society might be organized and also what problems might arise

Jup. Reading "On Authority" a few years ago made me lose most of the respect I had for Engels / his writings

Yeah and still we should not push the message that Telegrams encryption is even remotely close to other encrypted messengers. I met more than one person that somehow thought their messages in Telegram are "safer" than they are in WhatsApp (and they never activated the encrypted chat oprion in Telegram)

[-] punkisundead@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

It took the german goverment years to force Telegram to comply with their requests to get data and shut down specific groups. Also based on your location things that might be legal are not legal in a different location, from a German legal perspective there still lots of things happening in Telegram that are atleast a grey area(piracy, hate speech, porn) or straight up illegal(drugs, terrorist groups propaganda).

I am not in favor of the arrest or any goverment repression btw, I am just adding why goverments in europe might want to do stuff like this.

I dont think Telegram is something that I would call an "encrypted messenger"

[-] punkisundead@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Considering how hard it is for goverments to actually get Telegram to shutdown criminal chat groups or get chat logs (of unencrypted ) groups I think its at least more reasonable than the whole idea of banning E2E encryption.

There is no evidence for this and !anarchism@slrpnk.net is not the space for conspiracies like this.

[-] punkisundead@slrpnk.net 6 points 4 weeks ago

On that note, is slrpnk open registration now? It wasn’t when I joined Lemmy, .ml was the only one I could join at that time.

As far as I know it is

Unhoused people have found official support during heat waves inadequate, so some have decided to offer support themselves.

Good Work Strike

One of the biggest problems for service industry workers is that many forms of direct action, such as Slowdowns, end up hurting the consumer (mostly fellow workers) more than the boss. One way around this is to provide better or cheaper service -- at the boss' expense, of course.

Workers at Mercy Hospital in France, who were afraid that patients would go untreated if they went on strike, instead refused to file the billing slips for drugs, lab tests, treatments, and therapy. As a result, the patients got better care (since time was being spent caring for them instead of doing paperwork), for free. The hospital's income was cut in half, and panic-stricken administrators gave in to all of the workers' demands after three days.

In 1968, Lisbon bus and train workers gave free rides to all passengers to protest a denial of wage increases. Conductors and drivers arrived for work as usual, but the conductors did not pick up their money satchels. Needless to say, public support was solidly behind these take-no-fare strikers.

In New York City, USA, IWW restaurant workers, after losing a strike, won some of their demands by heeding the advice of IWW organizers to "pile up the plates, give 'em double helpings, and figure the checks on the low side."

Never heard of that type of action. Sounds very effective.

I often see mentions of the disunity in the left and it being a real show stopper for achieving anything meaningful. Whats your take on that and also do you have any reasons(experiences, arguments etc) for that?
