MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>If someone gave you a spinning wheel, a loom and a sheep, you COULD make your own clothes. But it would probably take you years to teach yourself how and you would be freezing and in rags before you figured it out. However, if you were also friends with someone who knew how to look after the sheep, shear it's wool, clean, card and spin that wool, weave the threads on the loom and then show you how to cut and sew a garment, it would go much faster. </p><p>Now if you ALREADY had those skills when you had the leisure time, money and people/resources to learn, you would not only be way ahead of the game but you could sell or barter your product and your knowledge as the needs arise. </p><p>Think about all the things you have and use that you have no idea how they were produced or where they came from. Think about all the people in your community with different skills and talents that you could learn from or trade and barter from.</p><p>The point is, learn some primitive skills now. Find out what you have inherent talent in. Experiment. Look for local resources. Find your people. Learn all kinds of different ways to look after yourself and your family when things collapse. Our high tech world is fragile and not sustainable. People are going to be shocked at how fast things fall apart and break when the means to continually consume, replace or repair are interrupted. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GetPrepared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GetPrepared</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Prepping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prepping</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>collapse</span></a></p>

Otis Scops aka Crash Course<p>Oppression and fear of freedom</p><p>In our insane civilisation the use of shenanigans and scams, double standards, opportunism and other forms of trickery and deceit quickly change from being sus pect to being valued in order to survive. We even go as far as to adjust our ethics and personality according to the situation. With all such practices, we lose our true colours. Who is still publicly sincere and authentic?</p><p>On a personal level, we see many people adopt the same morals and manners as those who actually exploit and oppress them, even if they initially resisted the situation. This is extremely advantageous for the arrogant bosses at the top of the pyramid. They can’t manage without a compliant middle management that directs the lower-ranking workers for them. Eventually, the workers themselves are also indoctrinated and assimilated into that culture to such an extent that they adopt the same mentality and behaviour. It’s the well known combination of sucking up to the boss, while simultaneously treating your subordinates with disdain (or ‘brown-nosing’ and ‘shit flows downhill’, as the Americans say). On a higher, meta-level as the priests of technology determine our lives and take away our freedoms, we simultaneously become dependent and afraid of freedom, autonomy and responsibility.</p><p>Thus freedom is not offered as a gift. It must be constantly pursued and reclaimed. But for that, we must first learn to see and learn to realise that the oppressors cannot exist without the consent of the oppressed [40]. The fear of freedom itself will have to be conquered. To break free from the arrogance that is destroying this world, it is imperative that we pursue that freedom. Humility and respect should be the basis of our relationship with each other and with the living world, where mankind doesn’t oppress the natural world.</p><p>A very important book to read in this current context is this:</p><p>Paulo Freire. Pedagogy of the Oppressed. 1967.</p><p>Download it at: <a href="https://archive.org/details/FreirePedagogyOfTheOppresed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/FreirePeda</span><span class="invisible">gogyOfTheOppresed</span></a></p><p>=========<br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedagogy_of_the_Oppressed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedagogy</span><span class="invisible">_of_the_Oppressed</span></a></p><p>Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Portuguese: Pedagogia do Oprimido) is a book by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, written in Portuguese between 1967 and 1968, but published first in Spanish in 1968. An English translation was published in 1970, with the Portuguese original being published in 1972 in Portugal, and then again in Brazil in 1974. The book is considered one of the foundational texts of critical pedagogy, and proposes a pedagogy with a new relationship between teacher, student, and society.</p><p>Dedicated to the oppressed and based on his own experience helping Brazilian adults to read and write, Freire includes a detailed Marxist class analysis in his exploration of the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized. In the book, Freire calls traditional pedagogy the "banking model of education" because it treats the student as an empty vessel to be filled with knowledge, like a piggy bank. He argues that pedagogy should instead treat the learner as a co-creator of knowledge.[1]</p><p>As of 2000, the book had sold over 750,000 copies worldwide.[1]: 9 It is the third most cited book in social science.[2] </p><p>»»»»»»»»»»</p><p>(The section above was taken from: <br>CRASH COURSE - On Your Future in the Anthropocene by Otis Scops)</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/oppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oppression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resistance</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protest</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>collapse</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CrashCourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrashCourse</span></a></p>
