@inkorrupt DiEM has a million problems I could cite as causes to dissociate from it, but if we want to replace fascist military industrial complex finance capitalism with peace and justice, we have to fix what exists. It's not helpful just to complain about it.

I think we need to organize by near all means. There are members of DiEM who think things I do not think but DiEM's explicit mission comports with mine. I think we need to form big communities to confront the threats we face right now.

@resl

Thank you for this information.

Unfortunately your organization #Diem25 supports the jew-hating #Handala e.V. in #Leipzig, which are even giving death threats to my incarcerated comrades of #AntifaOst

hi @resl i switched from my local @inkorrupt account to my main to answer you for reasons.

WTF, seriously?
You deleted your first, much more honest, personal, and understandable response just to replace it with "I am a loyal Diem25 company person, and I marginalize and even justify anti-Semitic death threats against your imprisoned comrades from #AntifaOst by saying that they are just one problem among millions that is secondary to the overarching mission 'We must replace the fascist military-industrial complex'?

Replace it with what?

With large organizations like #diem25 whose *official position* (not just the meaning of some members as you suggest) is to support even Jew-hating pro-Palestinian activists from #handala in #leipzig as a large organization, just as they threaten my people, whom the fascist military-industrial complex is letting rot in its prisons, with death instead of supporting them in solidarity?

Because they dared to wear a NOVA festival shirt?

Congratulations, the fascist military-industrial complex gladly accepted the criticism and confiscated the shirt. *very slow clap*

By saying “Just complaining doesn't help,” you are also implying that you believe your way is the only true way - or - that you are not interested in the commitment of others - or - that you assume everyone else is just a cry-baby who complains a lot but does nothing.

But guess what, I was just too busy to already tell you about things that support your totally correct thesis, “I think we need to form big communities to confront the threats we face right now.”

I would have liked to contrast your rather authoritarian-centralist approach of #Diem25 with an anti-authoritarian, decentralized, and federated approach, perhaps trying to convince you of the importance of diversity of tactics, and, based on a common consensus on this, inviting you to take a look at our project for a “PayPal Killer” grass roots movement @taler, and to help develop the technology and strategy for it in a small and conspiratorial tech collective.

But you have now permanently disqualified yourself from that, and that makes me really, really and very sad. blobcatsad​

I wish you had accepted the “no need to argue, you do you” approach, because then at least I would have been left with the illusion that we can be not only leftists, but also comrades.

But you chose your (Hamas) fighters, and this is why you can't have nice things.

That's over now. blobcatno​

--- a message to you Diem25 ---

#Handala? Screw you!

[And #Diem25, screw you, too!]

Handala? Screw you!

The #Handala group and other anti-Semitic structures and individuals are trying to stir up sentiment against individual defendants in the #AntifaOst trial and divide solidarity structures.
https://de.indymedia.org/node/551387

Why?

Because one of the defendants wore a shirt in #solidarity with the victims of the anti-Semitic massacre perpetrated by #Hamas and other Palestinians at the #NovaFestival.

But we say quite clearly:

Solidarity with *all* Antifas in prison, in court, and on the run.

Solidarity with all victims of October 7, 2023, and their families.

For a progressive left, against all anti-Semitism and pure contempt for the #Dresden state prison!

@resl
Cryptocurrency is useful for donating to organisations and movements frowned upon by the state.
Cases in point:
- WikiLeaks could accept Bitcoin while payment processors banned them.
- Palestine Action had a Monero address on their website last time I checked.
- (You might not like this one but I don't care) The Canadian trucker movement used cryptocurrency when they were banned from fundraising platforms.
