mind that this is XR NL. XR UK is considered very... weird, despite being the original one. Chapters in other nations are very different

they got their headlines, so it works

they probably don't want to be accountable for serious damage claims. They do it for people's attention. To materially disrupt data center construction you need a lot more than a single action

yep, it's one of the new chapters and it's pretty active and growing fast. You should join.

you can volunteer in some alt-albor organization that supports unions externally, like Tech Workers Coalition: https://techworkerscoalition.org/

because unions are the wrong tool for the problem. If you're unemployed, consider to reach out to WhatWeWill: https://wwwrise.org/

you can unionize with the rest of the workers. They are called "wall to wall unions" when you do not organize by department/profession but by company. In some countries they are the norm.

that's why you do union organizing with organizers and not with edgy teenagers.

both coops and unionized companies operate within a capitalist structure and on the market (usually). Neither model can emancipate itself from its context. So I'm not sure about what aspect you expect to be different. And coops can be run with good governance where power structures are explicit, managed and democratically altered to reflect the values of the members. The case where you have few people controlling everything is a dysfunction, it's not part of the model (and also can happen with unions).

are you thinking of a cooperative?

that's where most of the tribute created by the petrodollar system and the military dominance goes to. The USA is the only country in the world allowed to print endless money thanks to the violence of its army. The tributes don't flow from the core to the periphery but from the periphery to the center.

There's plenty of neo-nazis in the Free Software movement. It's "Free Software", not "Free People"
