What Mutual Aid can look like

If you grow up in modern society, there is a good chance you will only ever associate anarchism with violence and rebellion. This ignores though the core principle of anarchism. Like one of the things, that anarchism is build around: Mutual Aid.

And guess what: That kinda is something that human society for the longest time has been build around. (See also what I wrote a few weeks ago about gift societies before money was a thing.)

Mutual Aid is just, what it sounds like: Helping each other in ways we can help. Which can mean a lot of different things, because different people have different abilities to help.

You know, one of the things I liked about the early pandemic with the lockdown and what not was, that people rediscovered Mutual Aid, because a lot of people did not only need it, but also had the time to do it.

And what we really need to learn is, that Mutual Aid does not mean that everyone does exactly the same for each other (in terms of workload). Because some people just have more capacities than other people. And that is okay.

Too often Mutual Aid when discussed in media kinda only focuses on financial aid. And do not get me wrong: Helping someone to cover essencial costs is absolutely 100% a form of Mutual Aid. But... This is still very much caught within the capitalist thinking. And it can be so much more. So... Let me talk what else Mutual Aid can be:

Cooking for each other/for your neighboors. Maybe you have this old guy in the neighboorhood who just cannot properly cook for himself, because he just cannot stand for long enough to do it. Or maybe there is this single mom with two kids who works long hours and just does not have the energy to properly cook afterwards. And you might be cooking either way. So maybe you can cook for them, too?

Something we saw in the pandemic a lot: Going grocery shopping for your friends or neighbours. People were unable to go shopping because they themselves got infected with COVID or were immuno compromised? Folks went shopping for them. Why not keep it up? Covid is not over. Also, that old lady downstairs might have issues carrying her own groceries.

Repairing all sorts of things for other people. Be it their broken computer, their broken bike or car, or be it fixing that hole in their clothing. You have the skills to fix it? Why not fix it for them then, instead of forcing them to either buy new stuff or have it fixed for a ton of money.

Or one thing my roommate will always do for me: Cut my hair. That, too, is mutual aid. I need that hair cut. She will do it for me. That, too, is mutual aid.

Or if you are skilled in sowing, maybe actually sew clothes for people who cannot afford proper ones (aka clothing that is not gonna fall apart after a year)? That, too, is mutual aid.

And there is this friend who needs to go somewhere but does not have a car and the place is not easily reachable with other modes of transportation? Yeah, driving them is another form of Mutual Aid.

I could go on and on about this, babysitting, petsitting, helping someone clean, borrowing tools and so on... I think you get the idea, though. Mutual aid is... surprisingly easy. And most people already give it out on a pretty regular basis.

Because, again: People are actually pretty darn decent. We usually do things for each other because doing things for each other actually feels kinda good.

So... yeah. Maybe think about that. And think about how great society would be if more people were doing this.

A connection of magic and high technology.

I love that both Tony and Stephen are very innovative scientists in their own fields.

Tbh when I first watched MHA and got to the preview for ep 3 and realized Izuku was going to be the world’s greatest hero because All Might was going to give him a quirk, and not because he was heroic enough without one, I was a little bit disappointed. The end of ep 2 leaves you feeling so high and that one spoiler brought down a notch for me

Now? Izuku deserves a quirk more than anyone, so sure, having him give everything, down to destroying parts of his body without repair, just to lose the quirk? Also feels a little bit disappointing, if that’s where we’re headed, just because he’s sacrificed so much

THAT BEING SAID. Izuku was a hero before OFA and he’s gonna be a hero after it. That’s an indisputable fact. And the last thing standing in his way is the barrier Kacchan and All Might put in front of him all the way at the front end of this story: that being a hero requires a quirk. Seeing Izuku overcome that would be so insane

#mha spoilers #mha manga spoilers #all I know is #Quirkless or not Izuku and Katsuki had better be hero partners after this #katsuki loses and arm #Izuku loses his qwirk #they still kick ass and take names #or maybe all of hero society as they know it collapses and there is no more rankings just those who want to win and save for the sake of oth #maybe they have to retire as heroes after this war #shortest hero careers ever #or #Quirkless Izuku leans into analysis and support but also manages to fight next to and keep up with katsuki #listen #I may prefer some of these over others #but at the end of the day all I really care about is that they’re together #working together #living together #romantically together #whatever you want ‘together’ to mean #bkdk #bakudeku #Izuku Midoriya

I am currently rewatching Good Omens Season 1.

Why after all the stuff these two have gone through, what they have risked for each other and all the times Crowley came through and actions for Aziraphale!

Why is Aziraphale lying to him and not telling him where Adam Young is? To save the boy from Crowley? That Crowley doesn't kill him?

I don't think so. Crowley couldn't kill the boy anyway.

Is he afraid of the trouble with the other angels?

If so, after a hundred, maybe even thousands of years working with Crowley, having agreements, going to lunches, hanging out together so many times, he would get into trouble for these things alone either way.

So again, why not be up front with Crowley?

Does he still not trust him? After everything!? 1793, 1941, 1967.....?

That would be more than extremely low from Aziraphale!

So why? WHY? 😭😱

These days people give up on each other too easily. It takes work and constant effort to stay together with someone for a long time. Especially if they’re your opposite. They now say it’s a miracle if a couple lasts more than 10-15 years. The truth is that it’s us who manufacture that miracle.

Paul and Joanne were together for fifty years before Paul’s death of lung cancer in 2008. Those fifty years were not all roses and butterflies, they loved each other enough though to work through their troubled years together.

Frankly, one of the biggest things I cannot believe about what Krinkels said is Dr Christoff using anyone. Like, have you met the man? He cannot lie or manipulate anyone to save his goddamn life. He straight up had a hard time lying to Phobos even when that could have kept him safe. He couldn't Not confront him!

And he trust people! Too much, in fact, given... Well, how much he believed in Phobos, Hank and the Auditor, and they all let him down. But he keeps making the same mistake on trusting others because... That's just how he is! He believes in others, he believes in extending his hand and working together for the same goal. Even given Hank being /Hank/, who at this point Jebus sees at the responsible for the apocalypse, he still extends his hand to him to work together, he places his trust in him.

Like, at /most/ you could say Hofnarr saw friendship when Jeb only saw it as camaraderie, but say that Jeb used Hofnarr is stretching the mozzarella, IMO.

#Madness Combat #Dr Christoff #Dr Hofnarr #Christnarr #jeb? manipulating anyone? JEB??? #dude believes in: being very honest about his intentions by monologuing even when nobody wants him to (see hank) #believing in others #working together #peace etc #he's jebus because he's the closest thing we have to a lawful good character #like i jeb isn't even a fav or anything but I'm still offended in his behalf #Krinkels

I'm going to say this once and I will say it again. I have seen more and more of defeitist speech regarding the genoside in palestine. Things like "protesting doesn't help, none of this matters" and "the international court doesn't even work" and that type of stuff. It's the same with other causes like transrights and climate change.

This doomer type attitude doesn't fucking help anyone. If you start to go down that path you quickly arrive at "nothing matters so I shouldn't do anything".

Like I get that you are exhausted there's so much stuff going on and you might spiral about it, but you have to find ways to keep yourself from going down this path. If everyone ends up there nobody will ever try to make things better.

The ball is in your court. What can you do to help yourself and others to not give up like this? I don't have answers to that question but I do believe we all have to work to make that not happen.
