Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn't be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

I mean, you’re more than welcome to try! I’m just curious why this issue in particular strikes you as a high priority

[–] naut@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was thinking about few ideas, but all of them are maybe too radical, this one seams easy to do. And if we ask politicians for support we can get interesting answers and reactions. Just few days ago I saw that is "Vegan month", didn't know about it, but someone printed those posters and rent ad space on bus stops. Who is pushing all other awareness months? Let's see if we can push one. It is not high priority, just curious if there is a will, and if not, why not.

There's a vegan month cause people want to raise awareness of veganism/animal welfare. They want to promote people to make that change.

What awareness is there having your pockets heavy with change?

I've learn in school that humans always eat meat, and tribes that had more resources were stronger. There are some proteins that we can get only from meat. But I have feeling it is not about choice. They want to remove meat all together. Same with cash. I still don't know why, and I don't want to know. I just want to be inline with nature as I evolved and born.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Sounds like you need to go back to school.

We have cultures that have been living on vegan diets for thousands of years and they still exist. Obviously not dying from lack of nutritional needs or being weaker than neighbouring groups.

If you want to truly be in line with nature we evolved, you'd hop off line and go live in plains of North-East Africa. You don't, you just want to repeat right-wing talking points and other insanities detached from reality.

>We have cultures that have been living on vegan diets for thousands of years and they still exist.

no. we don't. why would you lie about this?

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The Indus Valley people and their descendants disagree strongly with you there.

I don't know nothing about right/left wing, not US citizen, and my family grows food. Currently I'm not, but in few years I will. But if they ban farms, take the land, ruin soil with pesticide, there will be no healthy food or soil will be damaged to grow any. You will be forced to buy. Anyway, offtopic

Epoch Times is Falun Gong (basically Chinese Scientology) ran bullshit.

Also that 'UN's gonna take over the world and make us eat bugs' article is further evidence of your alt-right 'globalist' bullshit showing.

Mate.

You are neck fucking deep in this alt-right shit, why do you think sharing more insane conspiracies would improve anyone’s perception of you right now?

[–] Pepsi@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

no, but how about a youtube video!

[–] naut@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

what conspiracies, account was frozen, that is the fact

sure, whatever makes you calm, here is another screenshot with original message by original author, you might like it, I don't, and it is OK to disagree https://lemmy.ml/comment/5802975

[–] Devi@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I disagree strongly with your view on that.

Still not sure why you think cash needs a month?

[–] naut@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because it is disappearing and money is only what is left when you trade your life time. If I'm trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

That's fine. I can get that. For many of us though we are so worried about surviving and providing for others that it would be very hard / determinental to take this stand at the loss of compound interest which can hopefully become like a future source of sustainable income in and of itself. So go and do it, but few people in a tough economy can afford to join you so maybe just make it kind of your own thing.

[–] Devi@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're doing things that mean the bank might freeze your account then you can keep it in cash. Most criminals do this for that reason.

[–] naut@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you need to be criminal for gov not like you

[–] Devi@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

I didn't say that. Two sentences there.
