Also many people would volunteer to help restore these places for people’s use if it was actually a legal option.

Who knows, but you only need 5.13% to be in good condition to house everyone.

- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 6 days ago:
No, it’s the consequences of capitalism.
There are over 15 million empty houses in America, over 5 million of those are in the 50 largest metropolitan areas of the US.
770,000 people were counted as houseless in 2024.
Sure not every house is in great condition, and not every house is in a major city - but there is surely enough that people could use to if not house everyone, at the very least make a huge dent in that figure. The issue is people cannot afford to buy them because housing is seen as an industry not a basic life need.

Anarchist.nexus is part of the flotilla, for all intents and purposes it is dbzer0 and dbzer0 is it. So no, they would not block it.

Anarchist theory is broken down into a question by question F.A.Q. format: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/the-anarchist-faq-editorial-collective-an-anarchist-faq-full.
CrimeThinc has a nice visual style design that teaches a bit: https://crimethinc.com/tce
And there’s a shit ton of Anarchist zines to read at:https://github.com/rechelon/zine_library
The best thing about Anarchist theory is that a lot of it is modern, relating to the world we live in today, and doesn’t force you to slog through painful 200 year old literary styles.

It is also anarchist, which is way cooler.

- Comment on Is Winnie the Pooh considered "racist" now or are .ml folks using it as an excuse to defend Xi Jin Ping? 1 week ago:
It’s not racist, unless we’re classifying Xi Jinping as his own ethnicity now.
They like to weaponise racism claims much the same Zionists use antisemitism.

That’s fair, children can take up a lot of ‘free’ time - but maybe you can find ways to have them help you out and help teach them the goodness of community support, volunteer reading at a library, carpooling with other families who can’t attend for lessons at a community centre, etc? A lot of that will depend on where you live and what’s around or what you could start around.
The ultimate resource is AFAQ. This is a ridiculously large document and not one you generally read from start to finish, but instead think of it as a guide to answer questions you may have.
If you want more ‘theory’, there’s a lot and being anarchists it’s all provided for free online and can be found at the Anarchist Library. Some decent older reads are Errico Malatesta’s - At The Café or Pëtr Kropotkin’s - The Conquest of Bread
If you’re into Sci-Fi, Ursula K Le Guin is a famous author who’s works often portray largely anarchist elements.
Want something that’s not black text on a white background, but presented in a more Web 2.0 manner? Crime Think’s got you covered.
Zines are hit or miss, but can always be interesting and give unique/local insights. A collect of many can be found at the Zine Library on github.
We run a community on Quokk.au called the Little Leftist Library - !lll@quokk.au, that links to some good reads. There’s also !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com which links other readings/news.
But ultimately the main thing that sets anarchism apart from other leftist ideologies is that it’s less based on reading and more on direct action - making the changes that help the people today.

Voting is a 5 minute activity once every few years. You generally don’t need to keep on top of news 24/7 to know which party is shity or not. I’m largely tuned out from electoralism because I find it useless.
My suggestion is to look at anarchism, look at how you can build up local community and make small scale improvements in a place you can actually effect and cause change. What I do is volunteer at my local community garden and help out with a food truck that gives food to those in need. Maybe you’re into tech and can look at stuff like 3D printing prosthetics for people who can’t afford them, sewing/knitting clothes for people to get through winter etc. There’s lots of ways to use the skills we have.
We can’t change the world, but we can improve where we live.

All I ever hear off of here is about every mundane dull thing. Most people don’t give a flying fuck about the state of world, it’s distressing really.

Yeah just some of the most important world events going on. Crazy how people talk about that stuff.

My experience is that it’s more like this:
- /c/one has 15 posts per day, 5 of them with 3 comments, the other 10 with none
- /c/two has 3 posts per day with 0 comments each
Not every post is a hit, so if you cast wide you’re likely to get a greater return on comments as something is bound to attract attention. The way the sorting works is that the 5 posts with 3 comments will show at the top and the 0 posts will drop off view, showing an active community.
