Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

If you want revolutionary action:

  • Start or contribute to a community garden
  • Help round up unused meds to distribute to people in need
  • Help with Food Not Bombs
  • Donate clothing and other goods
  • Stop buying needless shit
  • Pirate everything; subscribe to nothing
  • Donate school supplies
  • Tear down and disable Flock cameras
  • Attend public forums and speak up to your local officials

Revolution is never going to be one big action or event that kicks off. Not like the movies try to convey it. It’s a collective rejection of things we have control over—most of which involve our wallets.

You wanna vote? Vote. Don’t want to? Don’t. The reality and the thing that folks need to grasp is that the ruling class will never let you vote away their power. Argue all day long; it doesn’t matter. It’s a fact. You can either sit around wishing you had the power to flip a switch, or you can do things on a local level to help those in need.

I'd also add joining a revolutionary party.
