How do you find out if your name is being googled?

Or they could articulate how unstrategized bombs would help anything.

But are those actually unstrategized? Often times individuals and groups doing these kind of actions actually coordinate, have some kind of debate & reflection process and use in depth knowledge to actually hit pretty relevant targets.

Also I think its pretty obvious how sabotage is helping: the direct consequences are very easy to grasps and measure, like how long a certain thing didnt work or how much the cost of repair was. So until there is an actual mass movement that is able to accomplish similar feats via strikes etc., those sabotage actions are in a class of their own when it comes to achieving direct results.

Or why scary dangerous bombs more likely to blow you up are better than a gun made from like 10$ in filament for anything that would matter.

Probably because the use case is different? With a gun its hard to actually destroy things, they are made to harm humans.

But I agree, bombs are very dangerous for yourself and people die trying to build them / put them to use.

You mean something like this?

The American electric vehicle maker Tesla was forced to halt production at its European factory near Berlin due to deliberate arson, according to both the company and local authorities.

Happens quite a lot in europe. More examples are collected here on the switchoff blog. Of course not every action documented there is on the same level.

Could also be ancoms (Anarchx Communists). Which I have met more than one that were kinda looking down on individualist & insurrectionist anarchists and didnt even seem to try to understand their viewpoint.

I dont really want to change peoples minds about voting, but I can see how the community might attract especially those that want to do that.

To inspire action, I usually post in !inperson@slrpnk.net and all the anarchism & anarchism related communities.

Hey I am the moderator of !notvoting, so this might a bit biased:

I would like to know how you feel about the !notvoting@slrpnk.net community and if you think it has a place on slrpnk.net. This has also been a topic in the moderators chat on movim.srpnk.net for a bit.

Discussions around voting and US politics in general gets pretty heated. Even on slrpnk.net where I usually expect good faith exchanges, I had a few situations where the hostility was really noticeable. So please try to be understanding and kind to each other.

A few words about the community by me:

I made the community about not voting. That can include anti voting sentiments (I understand that as “voting is bad”), but also aims at those just not wanting to participate and those not able to participate. I can see how this distinction might not make sense for everybody, so feel free to ask for more clarification :)

I don’t want to create unnecessary divisions or drama on slrpnk.net or with other instances, so I am definitely fine with shutting !notvoting@slrpnk.net down if it constantly leads to that. I can see how !notvoting@slrpnk.net showing up on the local feed can be annoying to some and might result in people commenting on those posts to voice their discontent with the community. I appeal to you to focus on the positions and goals we have in common instead of the differences. Because I believe that will result in a way better experience on slrpnk.net for all of us.
