What are some interesting protest tactics that you have come across?
  • What are you surprised about not being adopted more widely?

    PPE wise? people should wear life vests to reduce rib breakage percentage against blunt objects, or wear a bed roll across their chest like this

    also the adoption of wearing pistol belts/regular belts so that the people behind you can grab you better? safety glasses/ shop glasses made of polycarbonate will stop you from going snowblind, damage from uv rays, and hopefully will help you keep your eyes if you get shot with rubber bullets

    What’s with all the westerners wearing keffiyehs?
  • contributing to a change in culture.

    i think it was on the lemmyverse where somebody said the NAFOs fought an media war to dehumanise the russians as orcs and stamp out any counter cultural pole that oppose that narrative.

    you are very right that in that cultural poles that defy the silently genocidal status quo are important

  • I mean you are right in some sense that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and that to simply consuming content is not radical. It is our collective actions and organisation that is needed to radically change restructure the system.

    though it seems that the palestinians are receptive to westerners donning the garment and, that people are being targeted for wearing them.

    so maybe it has in someway become an informal uniform of some sort for those who oppose the current status quo of funding israel.

    Ukrainian commander with the callsign "Banderas"? Oh that's normal.
  • I am reminded that there is no god or justice in this world, knowing that the dude who started that conspiracy admitted it was a social experiment, and it was still going viral

  • conspiracy starter of greta thunberg being an antisemite confessing it was a social experiment

    https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1715544536166842459.html

    this is in reference to the octopus plushie BrennpunktUA created the conspiracy that greta thunberg was an anti semite as a social experiment. He for the sake of "content" fabricated a correlation for his own amusement. explicitly with Greta Thunberg's plush octopus being representative of the 3rd reich's depiction of the kraken.

    Dianna (PhysicsGirl) Health Update from SmarterEveryDay
  • it's wild i recall reading a oxford doctorate that

    [suicide warning]

    took his own life after developing long covid.

    I keep talking to people about long covid and they look at me like a hypochondriac, i guess when the injustice is systematic - people just shut it out of their mind as it is the path of least resistance.

  • Dianna (PhysicsGirl) Health Update from SmarterEveryDay
  • aaaaahhhhh, i have this thought pass in my mind - like wtf why does this guy mean by (paraphrasing) "i'm worried she's not caring for herself, that she's getting weaker".

    Like i hope he doesn't mean she needs to like exercise, like i am a complete stranger who browsed her tweets like half a year ago and, she was explicitly trying exercise therapy, exerting herself physically to the point of exhaustion where she would literally carry a chair everywhere with her so she could sit and rest after running out of breathe! Its literally the reason why she's bed ridden now.

    me being charitable just assumed he was like talking about being worried about bed sores or something but yeah if people say he's like a chud - that's an oof, atleast it seems like he was wearing a respirator in direct contact with dianna.

  • Ummm... how do i join the IDF so i can give state secrets to the girl in this photo.

    archive.ph רופאים לצה"ל: "שיפא זה לא בית חולים - זה בית לארגון טרור ויש להשמידו"

    מוקדם יותר החודש, חשף דובר צה"ל כי מנהרות החמאס נמצאות בעומק של עשרות מטרים מתחת לבית החולים שיפא. מאז, רופאים הצהירו: "תושבי עזה שמצאו לנכון להפוך את בתי החולים לקיני טרור, הביאו על עצמם את השמדתם"

    רופאים לצה"ל: "שיפא זה לא בית חולים - זה בית לארגון טרור ויש להשמידו"

    [this is coming from the 4th most read paper in Israel doctor sign letter expressing support for idf to bomb hospitals as they are "terrorist nests".]

    excerpt A group of doctors expressed their protest against the cynical use of the Hamas terrorist organization in hospitals and in particular the large Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip. In an official letter, they wrote: "As soon as murderous terrorist organizations built murder and terror headquarters as an integral part of the hospitals - they turned the hospitals into a legitimate target."

    It was also noted that: "Any place where people hide and/or is used for terrorist activity is a legitimate target for destruction - even if it is hospitals. No more! The residents of Gaza who saw fit to turn hospitals into terrorist nests in an attempt to take advantage of Western morality, are the ones who brought about themselves their destruction - terrorism must be eliminated everywhere and in every way."

    One of the doctors said: "Medical centers are protected areas from the harm of military personnel because the place heals and saves human life. Any place under which there are caches of weapons and nests of terrorists does not save human life, but on the contrary - harms human life. It is the duty of the State of Israel to destroy any place that threatens the lives of its citizens".

    Another doctor said: "I fight all my life to save human life, but at the same time, Shifa is not a hospital but a house of terror. It is a terrorist machine that kills us. I personally treated patients from the horrific massacre. We have no choice but to eliminate terrorism." Dr. Hana Katan said: "I will do as much as I can to guard and protect the IDF soldiers and return them safely to their homes. It is the IDF's duty to bomb the terrorists hiding in the hospitals in Gaza."

    letter in link below from another source

    Israeli doctors urge the bombing of Gaza hospitals

    editors note: raised in a family where doctors are held with high prestige, it confused me that such rhetoric would be uttered by those in that profession to justify the bombing of a hospital.
