Love your response, thank you. I know people like the activists you speak of - they protest for a better world then can't even put their fucking sign in the bin afterwards. Perhaps dropping it on the ground is keeping someone in a job in some weird Keynesian way.
The next step for me is to just keep doing what I'm doing and encourage others to do the same. Arguing about borders on Facebook is not on my to-do list. Have you followed that little fiasco? What a laugh. Have a great day @diginaut and Steemians everywhere.
Depends which borders. I have seen much on Facebook. It used to be a really good hub with the optimism of Arab Springs everywhere. Now it's stale. I still have some contacts on there in Australian activists circles, but now it's more the humanitarian circles I move in. I run a page for the Abandoned Afghan and Iraqi interpreters. My husband is one. This is why I spend so much time overseas. I think I am the only real advocate in Australia. I run the page for 2 reasons. The original page, run by an Afghani interpreter, missed a very important media offer. It was too late by the time he came back online. I am online far more. And secondly, it's much safer for me to do so than any of them. We have someone qualified to identify suspicious people and he has done so, so they are reported to relevant authorities. I don't want any more uneducated, ignorant, racist, violent, extremist morons in Australia. On that note only, I say "No thanks we're full." But when someone has done something for you, as the interpreters did and they are simply abandoned as if they are not even human, then I won't have it.
This has led me to be privvy to the actual truth surrounding Manus and Nauru, it's a related issue. George Brandis doesn't like me much, so I'm keeping a lowish profile before Peter Dutton gets wind of me. Although showing pics of dead interpreters to his staff at a rally may have upped me on the radar. Who knows. The feds are all good with me. So, depending on which borders, I may have seen it. I have seen fiasco after fiasco. And I'm tired of the rot. I'm tired of the lies, the disgusting lows people will sink to. I am starting to see stuff creeping onto my feed here. I am still finding my way as to how, and if, I react, and act.
I don't have the luxury of blissful ignorance. Ignorance can get the man I love killed tomorrow. Of course anything can kill anyone tomorrow, the risks are much higher for him, and unnecessary.
I, just like you, will keep to what I do, and encourage others to be aware, empowerment by education, and keep dipping into my, what seems to be a biologically caused, optimism in that, everything constantly changes, you can't see around a corner, and tomorrow is always just around the corner.
I'm so pleased to have made contact with you. I'm looking forward to more of your posts on anarchy. I like your style.
