The Global South

Honestly I’m not sure. I work to build alternative power structures and to propagandize to those who aren’t on my side. And by alternative power structures I largely mean unions. But there’s also shit like ballot measures and amending state constitutions. My state banned abortion and we made it a constitutional right in response. Where you have the means to do nonviolent direct democracy use it.

And yeah I’m terrified. Governments are coming after people like me specifically end it’s about to get real bad and idk what to do. It’s not like I can shoot a cop. So I just try to encourage people to know how to run and hide. And I guess you can always read oss sabotage documentation. They had techniques for subtly sabotaging workplaces.

The internet has definitely become a means of performance rather than action.

But I’ll add with another reason I am pro taxation, because it reinforces the idea that we who can pay taxes have a responsibility to contribute to society and shared goods. I’m not demanding free shit, I’m demanding collective payment of things that make society better.
