  • Lenin said that if he were in Britain, he’d vote Labour. Not because he agrees with them, but to show the British people that yes, moving leftwards does make improvements and no, Labour is not doing enough. To show them that a further-left Socialist party is needed.

    Accelerationism is a … choice. It’s easier, in my view, to push further left under ineffective neoliberalism than it is under right-wing authoritarianism. What you may view as a chance to get your ideal from the ashes, the fascists view as their chance to put you down for good.

    I’m fortunate to live in a state with ranked-choice, where I can literally make a gradient of my preferences for nearly every contested election I vote in.

    What I see most frequently is uncontested elections. Vote for the one registered candidate, or write someone in. Most of those have an R next to their name, and dollars to doughnuts a red armband in their closet.






  • If code is where you’d like to contribute, a lot of large projects label some non-critical and low-complexity fixes for known issues as “beginner contributions”. They should be relatively easy contributions, for folks with some background in code.

    Of course, if you have spare cash flow, donate a fiver to your favorite open source project. It goes a long way.

    If simply using it is the goal, check out f-droid for android, an alternative app store for open source apps, and look into open source replacements for your usual suite of apps. It feels good to use, and to know you’re keeping your own data yours.
