I just listened to this #podcast and agree that it presents really valuable strategies for effective #resistance against #authoritarian regimes.
Highly recommended!

Day 30 cont
“#PeterDutton (#Liberal) has recently been giving all, or nearly all, #journalists a question each day at his press conferences, most recently going around in a circle so everyone gets a turn (and to avoid #journos shouting over each other). But today he took only a handful of #questions, skipping over a number of journalists, in a way he normally doesn’t.”
…
“‘Why have we been skipped over?’ one journalist asked.
“Well, we’re going to go this way,” he replied.
Dutton was asked about his Sky comments in the last question he took before CUTTING THE PRESS CONFERENCE SHORT.”

I wrote yesterday about our new Amnesty project and community building and how healthy communities need empathy and care to be able to do the hard work of activism: https://blog.weareopen.coop/strengthening-community-f64c5f34385a
Today @monteiro published a WONDERFUL piece about coalition building and explains that we don't all have to agree: https://buttondown.com/monteiro/archive/how-to-build-a-better-mosh-pit/

never mind #coalitions. The #election result in #Germany clearly calls for a #TwoStateSolution. Western Germany, let's call it BRD, could ban the #noAFD, whereas East Germany (DDR) would be free to align itself with Moscow.
What will be Germany's saviour probably, just like in the Netherlands, is the system of coalition governments, it has it's drawbacks but it prevents extreme outcomes of elections. No winner takes all. You have to cooperate with other parties. I think that is a good thing. If the USA had such a system we we wouldn't be in so much trouble

..."#Obama stood firm on the idea that the way to reclaim #democracy is to build #coalitions around taking action on #issues that matter to the #American people without regard to personal #identities or #political affiliations. #Pluralism, Obama said, “is about recognizing that in a democracy, #power comes from forging #alliances, and building coalitions, and making room in those coalitions not only for the woke but also for the waking.”
And that, in many ways,’”...
For the first time in the #history of the second #republic in #austria the right wing party has won the (relative) #majority in national #elections .
Now its about finding #coalitions.
To be honest, I am worried .

Hello, with the French National Assembly in a state of artistic uncertainty after this satisfying turnaround, I've developed a web app to explore various coalitions of parties that can achieve an absolute majority (in French): https://briaslab.pythonanywhere.com/
Petit tutoriel des #gouvernements de #coalitions à l’usage de nos amis français
"La #France s’apprête à former un gouvernement avec plusieurs partis (en en évitant soigneusement un). Ça tombe bien, en #Belgique, on a acquis un fameux savoir-faire en la matière. On se permet quelques conseils utiles."
Billet d'humeur et d'humour par Bernard Demonty (@lesoir)
Instead of accepting that #India made a mistake by giving Political Parties Constitutional legitimacy, Ravish Kumar is suggesting that we do what Britain does - have a Shadow Cabinet.
This is what a #Colonised Mind does to our analytical abilities.
Indian #Constitution was designed to be free from Party Politics - People elect Leaders, it is the job of the MPs to form #coalitions and work for everyone's interest. Disagreements are expected in a big, diverse country, consensus > majoritarianism.
Now that we've begun the age of #SouthAfrica #coalitions (or #GNU), and now I'm definitively not a #DemocraticAlliance voter any more, I find Helen Zille's 'don't split the opposition vote' increasingly hard to take.
If you don't want your vote split, don't make recidivist racists like Renaldo Gouws into your MPs.
