So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what's left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now's that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

It’s an action that accomplishes nothing towards the stated goals but makes the person feel good about themselves.

    Soup kitchens contribute to mutual aid setups, which are vital for subsistence and resistance movements against established institutions.

    It is directly something that accomplishes movement towards stated goals.

    Let me know when a soup kitchen topples a government institution. Until then all I see is cringe larping as a resistance movement.

    No one can fight fascism when theyre worried about their immediate tangible needs. No one can fight much of anything when theyre worried about their immediate needs.

    Its really hard to organize with people if you dont have ways of being connected to them. Its hard to have the needed trust. Its hard to network and know the right folks to have a connection the the right person when you need them. All sorts of community service help attend to these functional needs.

    If you can't see value in feeding folks in your community I'm glad you're not part of mine, you sound like a POS.

    Feed people is great, pretending its some kind of 'resistance' is laughable.

    You can't have a resistance if your people are hungry.
