Funny thing is as I opened the keyboard my app crashed. The joke will not let anybody else write itself.

And that, is why we must accept Ludditism where we can, as a way to oppose misguided tech development.

I don't think individual action can amount to much. Hence now I am seriously considering working with an organisation that works on ground in the environmental sector.

Organic farms, communitarian organisations, animal rescue centres, citizens' fora all seem to be places where you can make a genuine organised effort, while feeling more connected to nature. Bonus points if they are socialist. In fact, I'd only go if they were at least socialistic about their praxis.

During COVID, I learnt by observation that such on ground organisations are the ones that determine a neighbourhood's resilience to a natural disaster. Hence volunteering to socialistic organisations made me feel less like I am sitting by watching the climate crisis unfold.

Hi, I have a question that I can't find any one else talking about in the texts/posts I've read so far.

I've been thinking that if everyone is capable of being brainwashed by capitalist realism, save if they have in some way picked up on communist ideas, they could be being anything on the right side of the political spectrum. To me, it seems, staying in a traditional country, conservatism is coded in reality, just like in some non-traditional countries, liberalism is more likely to be found (sorry if I'm being simplistic, I am of course open to explaining this further).

To relate with people in neoliberalism, where nobody is benefitting except the upper castes (also known as oppressor castes here), one must either align with conservative or liberal values?

But praxis also involves taking radical steps in daily life, organising, informing, educating. Is there anyone who has written about this from the point of view of how someone who has been "radicalised" can align their views more relevantly, to relate and to a better job at praxis? What do you comrades think?
