Stuff you can do to change the world for the better, both locally on a small scale and globally on a large scale:

Educate yourself: I know it's a meme or whatever but genuinely educating yourself (and others) about what must be done and how it will be done is essential to have any aims and also bring people to your side. (There are also books and stuff about this very topic which explain it better than me).

Take part in local actions: Even something small like a march can go a way in getting voices out there, the government might not care but the bigger and more vocal an event is the more regular people will care for it and join in on the next one.

Take part in organising actions: Someone has to plan the march and you can and should partake in that if you are able to.

Join a party: Political Parties are the main and most effective way of actually making meaningful change. Not only are political parties the main forms of organising events, having structure and organisation behind a social movement is essential for its success.

Help the Community: Help community relief actions or community events with volunteer work and donations if you are able to, it goes a long way. Also if you can publicise these things so more people know about it and feel compelled to help.

Spread the word: Probably the smallest thing on the list here but spreading word to your cause in simple conversation and talk is going to be the main way of getting people in on things.

Don't lose hope: It's easy to feel demotivated when the world is grim and your goal seems far-fetched, but if you give in to these thoughts then they only become true. Many of the great changes in our world were done by people seemingly against the odds. And capitulating because your numbers don't seem good only benefits the people harming us.

Things You Can Do To Make The World Better (at the request of Laund)

#

oh and unionise if you're employed

#

forgot that somehow

yeah these are things you can do. But youve complained about the snow, and I think because of that, the cold in general. How can you change these weather conditions? by moving to a different country. Are you in a position where youre seriously contemplating moving to a different country? I assume no, so its not really useful or relevant to talk about how in your opinion the snow sucks.

are people not allowed to vent?

#

I guess I really disturbed this server by sending an image of the snow and complaining a little

hard sundial
#

you are but you did it multiple times. I saw one time before I blocked you, and at one point I decided to click Show message on something you said and it was also about how the snow sucks

#

then why not ask me to stop? why do you complain about something I do without addressing me directly that you are annoyed about it

#

you could have just asked me to stop

#

which you did now

#

it wasn't hard was it?

#

I'll stop complaining about the snow if it bothers you so much

hard sundial
#

didnt want to be rude and it seemed like a pattern, and now laund did ask you about a very similar case.
I'm curious actually, why do you hate the snow/cold? that should be more productive to talk about

#

maybe people have tips on those specific things even

fr, I like snow, I'm curious too

#

it has to do with mental health which I do not feel comfortable going to the depths of

#

also this threat was for Laund to just see something and this is not the point of it

#linux message this is a straw man fallacy (I dont think meant maliciously)

which, ngl, is kinda frustrating for me too. I expect to see uwuntu memes, not a deep commentary on the us judicial system (also not trying to be offensive, just putting it out there for context)

I made this thread to show Laund something and given they haven't responded they either didn't view it or don't find a reason to respond to what I said so I see no reason for this thread to exist

hard sundial
#

well, I thought it was a more suitable place to talk about this a bit further than #linux

lapis talon
#

that wasn't the intention of it so if you want to do that then make your own thread which btw I won't respond to because I don't care about this topic

#

if you don't want to try understanding other people's view on this and to come to some mutual agreement, I'm fine with that in the position I'm in. (not a moderator)
