I understand what you say about the difference of posts and comments.

Reported as a copy/paste of a Mondoweiss article

Not too sure I understand to which rule this report would be based on anyway. And btw Mondoweiss is mentioned at the very top of the article. It's the same author, different outlets. Not a secret.

Healthcare cooperatives formed by patients, hiring medical practitioners to take care of them and possibly for outside persons as well.

I wonder how is this going? I have limited knowledge on that sort of efforts but it's a topic that interests me.

I know of some cases of doctors self organising to provide their services. The longevity of the projects Ι have heard of varies. One of them did last for a few years, but I remember the last dentist left told me they got afraid of having their license to practice revoked.

Also in Chiapas the Zapatistas have been doing tremendous work on it. If I remember correctly from last time I checked, they mainly relied on local traditional medicines and had help some conventional doctors. I understand that this example is a totally different to the situation you are describing but I think it is slightly relevant in the broader sense of autonomous health services.

I have to admit (even tho I understand the intentions behind it) I really don't like the term anthroposcene for many reasons. I don't think it reflects the issue. The issue is not humans in general. The issue is a tiny part of humans that are on top of the social hierarchies within a system we call capitalism. As a term, it also seems to me that it feeds this wrong linear narrative of human evolution that has been widely adopted in the west (cultures that have been traditionally colonizing), unfortunately by almost everyone, even the left.

I think I see what you mean. Still, I believe the priority is for this Genocide to be stopped and Israeli people have the duty I would say, to act towards this direction. General strikes that last long can be a great tool for political pressure.

It looks like it's a one-day strike.

I hope many people participate, so that it goes on until a permanent ceasefire is achieved.

I think that maybe you misread the title?

As I briefly explained above, I don't see a point to this hypothetical question and I was not convinced by your arguments, so I will not engage to answering it.

It looks like we see things quite differently. For me all Genocides are evil. I believe it is important to study their differences so they do not reoccur in any way, shape or form. Obviously as humans we haven't worked on this properly (for many of reasons) and one more is currently happening to Palestinians. In that sense comparing randomly any two of them as to see which one is worst, it honestly doesn't make sense to me.

Do you regard the Soviets and the Nazis as equally evil?

I'm not too sure how constructive this question is. They have different characteristics for sure and this is enough for me, in terms of analysis.

Lovely article, great you thought of sharing it. Herbalism is a quite recent thing for me tbh. It's like a hole new world to me, even tho I know it's a super old one.
