1/ Understanding the complexity of religion allows us to see potentials for allyship and community building we would otherwise miss. 80% of the world's population is religious, so for global movements to take shape and succeed requires us to account for that fact
Co-worker had crown fall out, doesn't have a #dentist anymore, nobody local accepting #NHS patients.
Private sector is cannibalising the public sector and nothing being done about it.
My dentist de-registered me about a year ago, refusing to do anymore NHS work, offering me to sign-up for £19 a month - with two free check-ups included a year!
Some say #Fediverse is like email. But that’s far from the truth. Mail servers don’t usually block entire mail servers. Imagine #Google bans #Yahoo mail because of some spam or problematic emails. That’s how fediverse is. #Mastodon
@FinchHaven@hirad err there are way more mail servers out there than Mastodon servers.
Yes spam and malware etc is a problem.
But you don't see mail server admins blocking servers because of a difference of opinion.
As a #socialist I know exactly why freedom of expression is so important - because in the past people like me would be rounded up due to political views.
It's shocking how bourgeois-liberals quickly throw away their alleged principles if someone says something they don't like.
"Monopoly wasn’t invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord’s Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie’s original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
"One was called 'Prosperity', where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
"The second set of rules was called 'Monopoly', where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie’s mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies." #Capitalism#Monopoly#Feminist#Socialist#ElizabethMagie#TheLandlordsGame
