    Putin is on the fucking ropes. He has no business playing this strong of a hand. Look what Ukraine did to him! LOOK AT THEM!

    I learned one thing from poker- when they act strong, they are weak, when they act weak, they are strong. Putin pretends to be stronger than ever. That fucking house of cards is not far from falling. No moment for compromise, Ukraine is UKRAINE. It belongs to UKRAINE. They make a final push and take all of it? Ukraine will NEVER fall. EVER. It will take decades of guerilla warfare, we have freed ourselves once before, we will do it again. There IS no surrender.

    The system is not the Problem, never was.

    Brave words.

    Humans rival each other by design

    Humans literally cooperate by genetic design.

    Every country that is rich, is so by pure Luck

    I appreciate the fact that you may not be very well educated, and I appreciate the effort to have an opinion on matters outside the scope of your knowledge horizon, because that’s how we learn to get there.

    It would genuinely take too much time to refute every single point you made because it would be like grading a failing paper. Not trying to be mean, just explaining why I won’t.

    Spanish (or Basque either if you can believe it) so this one is a bit on the far fetched end.

    This was the preliminary deal-breaker for me, and I speak four languages including Portuguese, and could pick up Spanish without much fuss, but yeah you need to be able to communicate on their terms.

    I crunch the numbers every few months for a pipe dream: a quietly anarchisty repair cafe/makerspace/workshop — and unless everyone in my town suddenly wants to pay 10 USD for a pay-what-you-want cappuccino it’s not happening.

    Depending on where you live there are possibilities to receive grants or other type of funding. I just read about this today, a bunch of kids 18-30 in Surrey, England, who wanted to rewild portions of lands somewhere (Britain is among the worst deforested and de-“natured” areas in the world, apparently, they’re at 50% left of species and biodiversity, compared to a global average of 75%), they wanted to start eco projects.

    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/nov/25/it-fully-changed-my-life-how-young-rewilders-transformed-a-farm-and-began-a-movement

    They said they reached out for about six months writing and talking to land owners to be allowed on their land and basically revitalize it, and they found someone who agreed. And when the landowner agreed, the group got a grant from some foundation, and they set up camp, and they did what they said they would and restored the area and now it’s teeming with life and they say that they expect to have the first wild storks moving in in England since the 1600’s!!

    Sorry for being long-winded, I’m just passionate about these types of project, and maybe you could find inspiration here to do something like what you said too. I know how hard shit can be, and it depends a lot of where you live, but if you think about it, there are always online communities and crowd funding efforts that are super into these types of alternative projects, so don’t give up hope.

    If you wanna talk some more, I’m here. :)
