#troublemakers — Public Fediverse posts

@fak I have, separately, written to my MP.
I suggested the Americans involved would better not be admitted to this country, and that he might pop along to our local #parkrun (Exeter #Riverside ) I photographed a lot of our early ones.

A quotation from Cicero

There are greater forces and means for attacking than for defending the State. The reason is, that reckless and abandoned men need only a nod to set them moving, and their own natural disposition incites them against the State; while honest folk somehow or other show less activity, neglect the beginnings of movements, and are aroused to action at the last moment only by simple necessity; so that sometimes, owing to their hesitation and indolence, while they wish still to enjoy peace even with the loss of dignity, through their own fault they lose both.
 
[Maioribus praesidiis et copiis oppugnatur res publica quam defenditur, propterea quod audaces homines et perditi nutu impelluntur et ipsi etiam sponte sua contra rem publicam incitantur, boni nescio quo modo tardiores sunt et principiis rerum neglectis ad extremum ipsa denique necessitate excitantur, ita ut non numquam cunctatione ac tarditate, dum otium volunt etiam sine dignitate retinere, ipsi utrumque amittant.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Pro Sestio [For Publius Sestius], ch. 47 / sec. 100 (56-02 BC) [tr. Gardner (Loeb) (1958)]

"After filing the girls’ reports to the RCMP, she recalls receiving death threats as well as physical abuse. The breaking point came when a truck rammed into her vehicle, which prompted Reynolds to move to Alberta for her safety, she says."

The challenge to #TeslaTakeDown #Troublemakers is for us to get organized well enough to push really hard on getting the SB 5377 reintroduced, or even to turn the #TeslaTakeDown organizing into a state initiative signature gathering campaign. We can do it. We have to do it to make the campaign a success because #Musk needs to go broke.

A measure to end Tesla's ability to sell to consumers was introduced in Washington state Legislature

Senate Bill 5377, sponsored by Sens. Rebecca Saldaña (D-Seattle) and Mike Chapman (D-Port Angeles), strengthens consumer protections and promotes fair practices among manufacturers, distributors, and local auto dealers. It closes a decades-old loophole that limited consumer choice and created an uneven playing field for manufacturers of clean-fueled vehicles in Washington state.

Unfortunately, legislators didn't have the spine or public backing to get it out of committee, so it died early.

"Something that I think those in power have forgotten is that things like the right to protest, strike provisions, human rights legislation, etc are the *compromise*.

By stripping those away, it's just as illegal to march from A to B as it is to drag them into the street and beat the shit out of them, and that's usually a damn sight more effective."

@TomAoki multiple separate overlapping of-topic discussions are inevitable at times such as this.

Partly off-topic, one of the things that I love about Discourse is the automated cross-referencing (linking) when quoting from one topic in another. Readers can be aware of the spread of things, with zero fuss.

There can be no cure for the few people who will not tolerate Internet links (to external content, beyond the bubble of The FreeBSD Forums).

That aside: a shift from XenForo to Discourse could, slowly but effectively, cure a fair amount of what's problematic – without admin/moderator intervention. True: the most hostile offenders might, in the early months of a transition, abuse the aspects of Discourse through which moderation is automated.

The optimist in me believes that Discourse is mature enough for such abuse to become apparent, and then easily stamped out. Result:

― a better community, for everyone.

Food for thought, <https://forums.truenas.com/>:

― the result of a swiftly executed, effective move from XenForo to Discourse.

@TomAoki multiple separate overlapping of-topic discussions are inevitable at times such as this.

Partly off-topic, one of the things that I love about Discourse is the automated cross-referencing (linking) when quoting from one topic in another. Readers can be aware of the spread of things, with zero fuss.

There can be no cure for the few people who will not tolerate Internet links (to external content, beyond the bubble of The FreeBSD Forums).

That aside: a shift from XenForo to Discourse could, slowly but effectively, cure a fair amount of what's problematic – without admin/moderator intervention. True: the most hostile offenders might, in the early months of a transition, abuse the aspects of Discourse through which moderation is automated.

The optimist in me believes that Discourse is mature enough for such abuse to become apparent, and then easily stamped out. Result:

― a better community, for everyone.

Food for thought, <https://forums.truenas.com/>:

― the result of a swiftly executed, effective move from XenForo to Discourse.
