How does that mesh with investing in solar energy production and growing enough food for people to survive?

This is Cambodia now – logging, poaching, mineral extraction, turning lakes into land and destroying rivers, as well as exporting massive amounts of sands. There are systems in place where (officials) exploit the environment for profit and our group has been doing as much as we can to stop these unethical projects and protect the environment – and that is why we are a threat in the regime’s eyes.

Sand extraction may sound like a strange thing to be concerned about, but beach sand is a key ingredient in concrete, and is a dwindling resource that can’t be replaced with desert sand. The extraction of this essential material is driven by urban development. The irony is that much of this sand is going to China, where entire ghost cities are being built, left empty, and then demolished, in order to goose their economic reports.

Vietnam and Cambodia are different countries separated by mountains and language, but they have a lot in common. One of the similarities is that they are both seen as cheap sources of construction-grade sand. One of my favorite SLRPNK posts is this story shared by @wanderingmeomeo in !vietnam@slrpnk.net - about how a small community of people living on the river banded together to stop sand pirates destroying their home in the face of government indifference and corruption.

Cambodia is probably following Vietnam’s lead in cracking down on environmental defenders like Hoang Thi Minh Hong.

I didn’t see it when I posted, but the Guardian newsfeed you shared is really good.

Good question. Someone could write a thesis or two about it.

How would you fix the title?

I realize you have other factors to contend with, so I respect your design decisions. I’m guessing your latitude is about 45 degrees north based on the make of your car. For other people inspired to do something similar, 10 degrees is way too shallow even for summer. You’ll get much more current if you raise it to 20 or 30 degrees, especially in a neighborhood with this much wind gust protection. A good rule of thumb with what looks like an adjustable angle roof is latitude - 15 degrees in the summer, and latitude +15 degrees in the winter.

You’ll have more than enough volts to start the inverter during winter mornings, but during the rest of the summer, direct wire some DC fans to blow on the back of the panels. Heat is voltage poison.

That reminds me of when the ‘freedom’ convoy took their protest to a large city, and their protest ended up being just normal bad traffic. Obligatory Good Omens M25 YT scene.

Oh, no! Not Lemmy downvotes! What will you trade in for equity when the Fediverse goes public?

A successful protest reaches people outside of a cause, compelling them to learn more, in hopes that they ultimately become a supporter.

Performative radicalized protests are only compelling to those already behind the cause, and immediately discredited by those you need to reach.

That’s not how any of this works.

A protests’ success is judged by how much publicity it receives, and the disproportionate scale of the reaction from antagonists to the movement. Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem was a successful protest because he was a public figure and had a national stage, and the reaction of conservatives throwing fits over a symbolic gesture highlighted the racism typically hidden in polite white society. The police riot in Selma got national attention because of the graphic scenes of white police beating black folks in Sunday dress, and the scale of the police response to people engaging in peaceful protest revealed the violence inherent in Jim Crow apartheid.

Likewise, the Stonehenge protest was extremely successful because it received international attention, and the disproportionate outrage over harmless dust compared to the real threat of climate change puts a spotlight to the widespread apathy of society to the threat.

You think protests are supposed to reach you specifically, because you’re sympathetic to the protests old enough to read about in history books. But your opinion of those protests is mediated by the society that those protests have already successfully altered. The moderate of the past would have considered those historical protests ‘performative’ and ‘radicalized’ as well. They would also be on the wrong side of history.

No.

Thank you, Lisa Song, for cutting through the bullshit.
