Living Utopia | The Anarchism and the Spanish Revolution


in reply to Rafa Peris

As someone being born and raised in Valencia, Spain, watching this documentary has been very meaningful to me.

This is a part of our history and identity that has been hidden to us, the ones who feel the opression of the system on a daily basis.

I was at awe listenning to the people that appear in the documentary and that probably are all dead today, but who really lived the anarchist revolution until their genocide.

For me it is just astonishing how well can express themselves compared to most people of their age and economic class today here in Spain, (since they could not get access to any good education when the fascist dictatorship).

I would be able to communicate more with my grandma today if she had been raised like that. But she just understands hierachical power, money and religion. No science, no critical thinking. I love her anyway, but I have to use Christ analogies to have her attention :)

Happy Anarchristmas!



Je change de compte , un peu tristement , mais les délais de réception des posts étaient passés à plusieurs jours sur mon instance précédente.
De ce fait, je redemande pas mal de monde en contact .
Désolé pour le dérangement. 😉

Si, mais c’est un poulet d’amérique du sud, il n’a pas le même accent.


Hummm, un espion du Mercosur.
A la broche le poulet. :)

I'm switching away from Gmail to Proton Mail. Seems to be better and out of USA eyes.


See:

You make a video about cleaning up the waste, and that's something important and is done by good people, but then you post on Youtube and they show you first an ad about fast fashion.

Tell me this is not the most ironic thing. Same as selling hard-copy books about deforestation on Amazon.

And this is not to blame anyone, but please if you have other options use those too, like Peertube or making your books digital.

If you are making content about restoring nature we invite you to our Peertube instance videos.trom.tf - no ads or any bullshit like that.

Let's be reasonable people and at least try. Youtube is an ad-company and if we want to cut down from this insane consumerism we should try to avoid Youtube or at least use adblockers.

That's how I spent my year 2024 in nature & wildlife conservation. In this video is overview of all projects, events and activities I participated and volunteered. I think it was a good year. What about yours ???

@Dima this is how your videos look on Youtube for most people:

Before they watch a video about volunteering, restoring nature, cutting down the waste and so forth, they will watch very attractive ads for buying shit, Big Macs, harmful and wasteful products. I find that beyond outrageous.

So I think we should try to push your Peertube channel more. Maybe you can tell me what format are you saving your videos in so I can look what may be the issue with uploading them to Peertube. We have uploaded thousands of videos to Peertube and everything works great.

We should change these habits too of posting on these ad-network. I get it about the reach, but in parallel we should give these alternatives platforms a try too.

Personally I'm also worried that these adblockers will stop working one day, especially now that YouTube is trying hard to get rid of them. So it's a temporary solution at best.
in reply to Rokosun

That's another issue indeed. Google Chrome will not work with adblockers anymore, or not well at all, after that manifest v3 bullshit.

Planting trees in Germany with Bergwaldprojekt.
In November I was in Munich planting beech trees in a spruce forest. One of the reasons it's because beech tree can hold way more underground water than a spruce. And forests like this one supply about 70% of the drinking water to Munich

Great video @Dima ! Very positive as usual. I am always curious to watch them and to see how many good people are out there doing important work. You are not posting on Peertube anymore? Maybe if that's too difficult for you I can help you soon and I can try to post them there too. I will put a lot of effort into growing that platform very very soon.

in reply to Tio

Thanks Tio.
Yes, sure if you want to deal with Peertube it's ok.
For some reasons it doesn't like my standard format, and I need to reformat it specially for Peertube, and no one watches the videos there except you, so it's a bit too much effort. But if you want to do it, then of course.
in reply to Dima

Well you have 48 subscribers on Peertube...is not just me for sure. I can try to help out maybe fix the issue with auto importing from youtube...
in reply to Dima

@Dima, I'm watching your videos on PeerTube. I haven't seen them all yet, but will continue as time allows. You are doing great work - thank you! Keep it up!

Canada's postal strike - Bigger context


I don't know how many people outside Canada, but Canadians certainly know, that for several weeks we've had a postal strike that of course severely impacts businesses and customers in the lead up to Christmas. There is a short Wikipedia article. Usual issues of wages not keeping up with inflation and benefits - what, they don't already have paid breaks? #canadapoststrike

What people may not have heard of is how since several years the postal union has been advancing innovative ideas for how the postal service could be more sustainable and useful to the community in multiple ways going forward into the future. Seems to fall on deaf ears in management whose forward looking focus seems to be expanding hours of parcel delivery by hiring more part-time rather than full-time workers.

@fionag11 - that sounds like La Poste in France. They have long offered "bank" acounts with 24/7 cash machines outside, had copiers inside in case you needed one, and their carriers on rural may check on seniors.
in reply to fionag11

They really need a whole new business model, because the current one is just failing badly.

I am not a fan of Maxime Bernier, but he has a policy of privatizing Canada Post. That may be the only way to save it, but I always ask "who would buy it?" I can;t think of anyone other than CUPW. I mean UPS or FedEX might, but only to shut it down.
