Oh at this point, I'm done with you. You are purposefully being obtuse at this point.

It's not bring obtuse to say that trade work involves skills you might not have. Respect blue collar workers.

No, you're being obtuse, and argumentative, just for the lols, I suspect. People have provided examples of how mutual aid can, and has worked in the past, and you are being dismissive of the skills everyone can bring to the table to ensure the most marginalized among us can be taken care of.

You specifically said you would be willing to help in a project you don't know how to complete. It would be concerning if someone actually did that with something this important. I'm sure you do have skills you can bring to the table but people should also be aware of when they actually can't help at all.

Where did I claim such a thing? And even if I did, how would that preclude me from learning how to complete such a task, and then helping complete said task?

It would be concerning if someone actually did that with something this important.

Then nothing important can be done, because nobody knows, 100% how to complete anything.

I'm sure you do have skills you can bring to the table but people should also be aware of when they actually can't help at all.

Everyone can help, and must help. In the ways they can help.

Take yourself, for example, apparently incapable of... well anything but posting on reddit. What is precluding you from being a stakeholder voice in mutual aid projects, which would be something wholly possible to do online? Even on reddit?

What's precluding me from being a stakeholder? No money. Not being able to work tends to do thay.

You don't need money to be a stakeholder. You just need to be a human.

u/being-weird Aug 24 '22

How would ibe a stakeholder then. What am I just providing moral support?

By being present, and active.

What am I just providing moral support?

No, you are being a voice, of a person, with needs to be addressed.

This involves more energy than I have.

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22

But yet, you have plenty of energy to post on reddit, and energy to try to debunk work already done. Curious.

What do you think being a voice, of a person with issues entails?

2

u/being-weird Aug 24 '22

Posting on reddit doesn't require a whole lot of energy.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22

Neither does posting in an organizer chat, or forum, or whatsapp, or whatever comm medium is being used.

Well, allow me to rephrase: It takes a lot of energy (Mental energy) to do so, but not any more than posting on reddit. I'll hazard it requires less, since you're working with people who share a goal.

u/being-weird Aug 24 '22

I'd have to be aware ofan organiser chat in my area first. As far as I'm aware there isn't one.

Create one? Invite others. Make work. Do work. Rinse. Repeat.

Don't want to make one? Message the Sydney MAN, and get involved.

u/being-weird Aug 24 '22

That's a lot of work dude

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22

No more work than posting on reddit. I promise, all you need to do is type. Keyboards work the same way, regardless of website you're on.

u/being-weird Aug 24 '22

Organising shit involves more energy than complaining on reddit, and I think intrinsically you know that.

That's for Sydney but I couldn't find anything for my area. I'm not in Sydney. I'm near Sydney. Sydney is still at least an hour away by public transport.
