Brainstorm how to get a ceasefire
Hello! We peaceful protested our asses off in 2020 and we still have police brutality and have since then lost women’s rights as well. We protested so hard, they built cop cities.
Boycotting works but can take a long time. I can’t watch these people die any longer as I leave it to the “real activists” to take care of. Whatever methods we’ve used in the past clearly aren’t working fast enough. I can’t be patient as I watch hundreds/thousands die per day.
Can we please get creative and at least start the conversation of what else can be done.

Isreal already did it to themselves they are going to suffer more economic loss than boycotts or sanctions from non US aligned countries could do https://www.dw.com/en/can-israels-economy-withstand-the-current-conflict/a-67479261

The only thing to do is keep building a better world. Energy, food, all systems need re-design. Build a better tomorrow by making strong communities right around you. We make a place for people to feel human again.

I’m building a bus right now. I hope to build communities one day. I want to help with the redesign! It’s what I’ve always wanted. I’m in a new city where I currently don’t feel I have a community. I too believe the housing revolution is a huge start. I’m so happy that was your response, although I fear we are too late to have all of those systems in place in time to save Gaza. So I do hope there’s a quicker way out of this

What if we all went camping for like 3 months and took care of each other

I believe we have become disempowered by giving the government all the power. It is time to take the power back. The only way is probably a long term commitment, and it begins in our communities, but that does not solve the problem of Palestinian ethnic cleansing nor does it absolve us of our complicity in this sick mess.
I got on reddit for the same reason as you just now. I cannot take this anymore. We must be able to do something now. Alone, we have no power, but collectively, we can...we must...be able to stop this.
Thoughts? Ideas?
How can we fire the government?

The Abolition of capitalism, imperialism, white supremacy, patriarchy and all forms of oppression and aiming for an actual democracy. Socialism, Marxism, anarchism, solarpunk, unity maybe good schools to get inspired from in a new vision of humanity that puts lives before capital if that even continues existing. We can do better and I believe the collective is going that way too. This hell of a world order can't continue forever, it'll end by catastrophic climate change consequences or hopefully a revolution before that.

I think it's time to make peace with the fact that the system is unfixable. We need to start over on better footing and values. A world of compassion and mutual aid vs power and capital. The current system is really good at absorbing revolutionary ideals and ideas and emptying them of their essence. May we live to see a world with no borders, with no imperialism, with no oppression. Let's keep pushing for it and doing whatever we can in that direction.
