    Yeah, it’s all good advice except the part about getting yourself shot and having crack sprinkled on your corpse.

    Boo them from a good safe distance when you have people with you. Don’t confront cops.

    I personally like to have the tiniest, possibly imperceptible understanding that all they do is waste time.

    I got pulled over for expired registration. “Oh hi there, how can I help you? Gosh sorry, I just didn’t realize. Sure I’ll wait.”

    How much do you get paid to do this? It’s way too much.

  Sincerely: use the Internet less. It’s better for you anyway, but in general we’re seeing a real crackdown from corporations and governments. In response if we all just stop using it so much because it’s becoming unpleasant anyway they won’t know what to do. And maybe a happy side effect if everyone starts to kick the Internet habit is the population becoming generally more sane

    The Internet is a big place with plenty of value in it still. If all you do is scroll the big 5 brainrot sites, then yeah you’re probably not going to find a ton of enrichment, but that doesn’t mean ‘Internet bad’. That’s almost like saying ‘food is bad for you’

    source

    • LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I didn’t say “Internet bad” and I didn’t say not to use it at all. I said to use it less, with the implication being to cultivate a life outside of it too, too many people just use the Internet as much as possible and they put up with whatever shit gets thrown at them to keep using it. Like, I’m in the UK so I’m getting hit full-force with this ID shit and I’ve just decided that - as far as I possibly can - if a site needs to see my ID to access it maybe I just don’t need that site. I’m not showing my ID, I’m not using any of the clever tricks people have come up with to get around it, I’m not using a VPN to get around it, I just won’t use that site, and if that leads me to spending less time online then so be it. And if we could all make that decision then things might pick up a lot faster

    I hear what you’re saying but I think I would probably never talk to anyone without the internet and be very less sane

    source

    • LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I didn’t say not to use it at all, I said to use it less. If you genuinely are unable to connect to other people without the Internet then I am truly sorry about your situation, but if it’s at all remotely possible that you could connect with people offline - even if you first meet them online - then I really urge you to figure out a way to do it because that’s how we break the power of these ghouls, we stop using “their” stuff for our needs

      Many scenarios would account for that, i.e. changes in the newest version would not overwrite the old and preferably there’s an easy way to access all versions.

    that’s a step beyond my of-the-dome abilities but if you look on the backup site, lots of partners keep “the last 5 good backups” and i’m sure there’s a way to automate what you’re describing

    source
  • fishos@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Main backups are only done a few times a year. I just grabbed this years and last years for now. I would suggest multiple versions just so you can potentially cross reference and see what changed between updates. For example, what was removed can be just as informative as what was added.

  I know no one is going to like this, but sincere question- how does being mean to cops make any of our issues better?

  Like interfering with their ability to get things done, recording their interactions with the public, etc seem productive. But empty antagonism seems like a good way to inspire greater antipathy for the public that makes issues worse… At least with being mean to ice (who, to be fair, are also cops) it seems more likely the public disdain for them is a large enough amount of the population to make them feel ashamed of themselves, helped along by that fact their actions are more clearly abhorrent at an individual scale, making it easer for those voices to impact then.

  But I think with regular cops it’s too easy for them to still think of themselves as good guys doing an important service, and I don’t see “being mean to them” as likely to actually have an positive impact on the issues we’re facing

  I would be open to thoughts on how it would make things better though! Just because I don’t how it would help doesn’t mean it necessarily wouldn’t, but intuitively it seems to me like it’d be counter productive in most cases

    Specifically obstructing law enforcement (especially ICE) or wasting their time stops them from carrying out fascist orders.

    • Cris_Color@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Absolutely!

      source
  • Xaphanos@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    By removing the cultural respect they have. If they are routinely seen as the bad guys, the attraction to the profession is diminished. We begin to make a career in law enforcement similar to used car salesman and telemarketers. People will routinely disrespect them. Power hungry morons will think twice before going into those jobs.

    source

    • oddspinnaker9295@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      This is 100% why for me.

      As someone who has been verbally abused and called names by an aggressive cop… most people in the U.S. think all cops are good, and anyone who was on their bad side did something wrong.

      They also think cops deserve to be shitty because of “what they put up with,” while we have to be on our best behavior or risk death.

      What does one bad apple do? It spoils the whole bunch. Police are a spoiled bunch. Fuck cops forever.

      source
    • Cris_Color@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think this is a fair argument. I’m not sure if I see “being mean to them” as necessarily playing out this way, or being the best way to achieve that end (one can have no respect without being insulted/verbally attacked. Creating a stronger “is vs them” has explicit risks to our communities), but I can see the point you’re making

      I appreciate the sincere answer :) hope you have a lovely day!

  Get organized! Its the only one that matters!

  Quitting socmed is good because its fucking up your brain probably, and it will likely change you for the better. Internal change and development is revolutionary, it is actually an act of resistance.

  Consumerist action only matters when part of a larger campaign, so get with BDS or maybe veganism but don’t get sucked into thinking like vegans, they’re too individualistic and hostile to solidarity.

  Support real artist, good I love it, but see if you can get artists working on a project as part of organizing. Every group needs artists so if you know some, get them to make some revolutionary art.

  Being mean to cops doesn’t really matter but it’s better than being nice to them, and I’ve seen people be like “oh I actually hate cops but we still have to work with them on this” which is so fucked up and wrongheaded I will literally attack people like this if they don’t respond to education. So fuck cops and keep them out of organizing and mobilizing spaces.

  But please get organized! The fact it isn’t on here is in fact suspicious.
