Mastodon is ablaze with net neutrality posts.
I really liked this blog post: DIY Media: “When we buy stuff from major corporations, we transfer money (and therefore power) out of our local communities, and in to the pockets of CEOs and shareholders. When we make stuff, or buy stuff from our communties, that wealth (and power) stays within our communities.” (via Mastodon)
And it fits right in with the ideas of DIY D&D.
And DIY also has a more important role to play: it is something positive and rewarding to aim for. It’s like singing in choir, playing an instrument in a band or with friends. The shared experience is important.
This is the feeling we need on the political stage, too. Nate Cull wrote about it on Mastodon and I said: “Similar problem in France, Austria and increasingly elsewhere: if decent parties are only united against the fascists, then people vote because of fear, not because they hope that things will improve. And then they don’t. We need positive visions of the things we can do. The things we will do. The positive things that are happening right now.”
DIY is political.
