Hebrew-language Israeli media reports say there is a “secret clause” buried in the Gaza ceasefire agreement that would allow Israel to resume the war. Palestinians worry this is the pretext Netanyahu needs to get out of completing the deal.

Obviously a lot of people here hide a lot of information. What is keeping you all from extreme stress considering the possibility that a government is spying on your actions despite strict privacy practices? Considering my current situation and my extreme threat model it feels like the privacy walls around me are closing in. I'm very paranoid. I do a lot of risky and dangerous shit on the internet. Every knock on my door and phone call feels like the police. I don't talk with others about what I do and I'm always hiding my internet activity from others. Any thoughts would be helpful
I don't know what country you're from but at least here in the USA the things that therapists are required to report to police are pretty slim, mostly just things that could cause direct physical harm to yourself and others.
Beyond threats to hurt another person, threats to sexually assault another person, neglect of a child, or threats of harm to oneself... almost everything else is covered by HIPAA patient privacy rules.
If you live elsewhere perhaps you could look into your local laws in terms of what is required mandatory reporting for therapists?
I'm unsure if the consequence with HIPAA could convince the therapist to not tell the police. And it is a super long story and even some of it does involve threats to harm others, and it is not drugs and not CP
Edit: I agree with you though I do need a therapist. I'm going crazy
Hypothetically, if you were the most wanted man alive you would still go to a therapist and confess all your crimes as long as it is off camera and not a HIPAA violation?
I don't know, it might depend on the crime. I believe that clergy get a higher level of privilege than therapists. You can literally confess a murder to a priest and they aren't allowed to (and won't) tell anyone.
Famously, in the 1970s, Daniel Ellsberg stayed out of jail after it emerged that Nixon's fixers had broken into Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office to get his case files. These days they would just break into a computer.
IDK how it works exactly, maybe the secrecy only counts when you confess your own sins, not someone else's. I'm sure there is theological doctrine one way or the other.
It depends. In the US I think it varies by state. And it's only for big things like murder or child sexual abuse.
If you say "yeah I stole a piece of candy once" that's not worth reporting. If you say "decades ago I touched a minor inappropriately" they probably won't pursue it. If you say "yesterday I killed my neighbor and his family" yeah they're gonna fucking bolt from that room and call 911 as fast as they fucking can.
I do a lot of risky and dangerous shit on the internet.
Maybe stop doing things that would get the police at your door?? There's only a handful of things I can think of that would actually get police at your door for your online behavior and most of them are things that kind of make me ill to think about.
I mean, drugs are probably the most common illicit þing people do online, and it's debatable wheþer anti-drug laws þemselves are eþically sound, much less effective at what þey claim to want to accomplish. CP and oþer crap is probably a fraction.
In some states in þe US, it's illegal to try to get some kinds of healþ care.
Good point, where I live weed is legal as are mushrooms, I often forget that people might still be looking for drugs beyond those.
I guess I always lived by the old adage "always know your dealer" when I was still doing drugs, which is a long time ago now. The idea of getting them online from strangers just seems risky in general.
Actually, I would personally feel more comfortable getting them online than I would in person because then I can use a testing kit on it to make sure I'm getting what I'm paying for and if the stuff is of bad quality, I can leave them a bad review so that other people won't buy from them.
I would personally be afraid to do the deal in person.
That's why in the old days it was "always know your dealer" as interpersonal trust systems were built on people who weren't screwing with the quality of what you were getting and you could easily, by word of mouth, tell others to not deal with people who had done you wrong. Same idea, different technology and time period.
Some of us think the best way to do that is to build parallel systems of mutual aid (which isn't illegal) to support each other when things become difficult instead of violence. Especially considering the fascists are trying to foment violence as an excuse to clamp down with martial law and cancel elections. Parallel systems would instead allow us to house, clothe, and feed each other during something like a general strike, which is much more likely to cause a deep impact than fruitlessly trying to violently attack one of the best outfitted and funded militaries on the planet which commands surveillance systems that make our meager attempts at privacy seem foolish at best and downright fucking stupid at worst.
Except that fascists will invent excuses whenever there isn't violence at all.
True, but why make their jobs easier? The more propaganda they have to produce over reality means more truth slips through.
I believe it is worth combatting their surveillance. Our liberty is not a given but needs to be taken. What is stupid is holding too much defeatism.
Gonna just have to agree to disagree on that. I feel capable of privacy measures intended to stop basic corporate adware surveillance, but the idea that we as individuals can battle the tools and capabilities of well funded nation state with agencies like the NSA and CIA involved seems to smack of hubris to me.
Mutual aid, as you said, is good; but it should not be the only resort.
I agree, but I don't think you're going to be able to organize and mobilize the citizens against an authoritarian takeover without parallel systems being set up first. Otherwise fascist disaster capitalists will just use their control of such systems against us.
What's the point of life if crippling, paralyzing fear is all there is to it? I work on being a good steward of my privacy as much as it brings me joy and satisfaction, not so much that it consumes every waking hour.
Whatever it is, review your threat model. What's done is done and there is little that can be done to redact any evidence you may have left on the internet. Are you able to stop doing whatever it is that is putting you at risk of legal trouble?
If it's an drug or psychological problem, you need to seek professional medical attention. Many people die or suffer life-changing illness each year fearing that their doctors will rat them out for substance abuse. Don't be one of them. Patient privacy laws, at least in the US, prevent your doctors, therapists, etc. will protect you if you go and seek help. The main thing that they would have to disclose is if you make direct, credible threats to other people.
If it's a criminal operation or worse, lawyer up and good luck.
Im not sure what to say with the risky and dangerous shit but as a person living in a country where an unmarked, untrained,unregulated paramilitary masked militia are going after people on pure pretense. I can say Im going to live my fucking life and fuck them all. Never before have I more understood this part of the lord of the rings:
“I wish it need not have happened in my time.”
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Hey mate, besides the therapist recommendations, which are great, I would make a plan on how to make an exit from any criminal and all risky/dangerous activities you do. If whatever you're doing is seemingly necessary, someone else will fill that role. Make the plan and follow it. If it involves moving or even switching countries, do that.
Creating a plan to exit will probably be calming and at the same time helpful when you make your adieu.
I’m very paranoid. I do a lot of risky and dangerous shit on the internet.
I don't want to know what you do, however, if it's causing this much paranoia, perhaps you should not do risky and dangerous shit on the internet. I know that sounds overly simplified, but if it's that risky and dangerous, what's the roi? Sooner than later, risky and dangerous activities get noticed. When I constructed my threat model, it included a lot of potential adversaries. However, I do this because I am a rather private individual, not because I want to do risky and dangerous shit on the internet.
Because my privacy is already f'd. I don't like being tracked but the government would already have plenty of data on me if they really cared to collect it.
Maybe because I want them to try it. Like a fake tough bully you see in school taking other kids lunch money. I want them to try me so I can beat them into the ground. Never crack under pressure, transform into a diamond; hardened and brilliant.
I'm not sure what you do. Don't care, you want privacy here's my tips. Delete all your public information and only use Tor connections for the internet. If possible move and get a fresh start. Stay lowkey and don't go super sketchy should put you at peace. (If you have the ability to do it)
If you do "lot of risky and dangerous shit" then it's even more important that you do so mindfully. If you get careless because you are tired you increase the risk.
Personally my "trick" is to learn from others, e.g. in few weeks in Paris there will be splintercon.net/paris/ where tools and processes will be explained. I can learn from them.
Also my way to stay calm isn't just to be mindful or learn... but do stuff, no matter how small. If you learn about a new thread, address it today. It doesn't mean fix the problem entirely (it'd nice if you could) but rather do something, ANYTHING, about it. If it's not solved, write notes about it and resume tomorrow or whenever you can. Every small effort does add up over time.
Finally I find that sport helps a lot to "evacuate" stress. If I feel some pressure from work or the overall situation, I go outside and sweat it out. It doesn't magically make the World better but it insures I'm a bit more in shape to try to tackle whatever is thrown at me.
As national and regional efforts around digital sovereignty gain momentum, SplinterCon Paris will bring together technologists, researchers, and policymakers to consider what resilient, interconnected digital societies require today and in the future…

I just usually rub one out, but sports are good too.
I dont do anything actually bad on the internet. I have never even went to the dark web with the onion protocol. Im just not interested in the shit i would find there.
I use privacy tools because thats what I believe should be default. People deserve their privacy. No company or government actually have the moral right to take it away. They are supposed to be elected by the people to work FOR US. That part is just forgotten now.
You can use and support Tor! It's easy with a bootable version of Tails, I use it to access Proton Mail since they make their regular services also available on an onion site (the link is on their regular website).
It is never a requirement to perform 100% of all "Privacy best practices" 24 hours a day and 7 days a week with perfect execution. Simply put, nobody has that level of threat on average unless they are someone like Snowden, a Journalist covering a story, or are working as an intelligence agent.
It is best to assess your threat level and choose Privacy preserving techniques and tools according to what best suits your life and situation first. Don't overdo it, don't try to achieve perfect privacy, don't try to keep up with the metaphorical Joneses. There will always be new threats to your privacy to assess; and you shouldn't be ignorant of them; but you also should not ever let that growing list of threats overwhelm you.
If you need to take time to stop reading privacy news...do so. Just like regular world and national news; it can put you in a state of constant panic. Manage your mental health and state first before you ever allow yourself to address your privacy issues at hand.
Once your mental state is clear and your focus is sharp; focus specifically on little things you can easily do to protect your privacy. Maybe make sure you have a VPN set up or ensure you go over critical privacy settings on your devices to ensure none have changed or shifted since you last visited them. Then consider other small things you can do; if you can say, for example, choose a new email provider, then do so. If not, pick a new thing to address and move on. Do not make managing your privacy a chore if you can possibly help it. Take improving it one step at a time, take breaks for your sanity and make sure you don't overdo it all at once.
I mainly protect my company secrets by encrypting it and hope for the best. Else, it's just the normal stuff, that is nobody else's business. But then, i am glad that i am old and likely won't have to live in a dystopian place like this world seems to be going towards.
The kind of "privacy" you get by using a VPN or avoiding Facebook tracking your web browsing is absolutely not appropriate for using against a threat model that includes three-letter agencies or even, frankly, the local cops. They can just, like, come to your house when you aren't there and bug it. Point a camera at your screen, station a dude in the closet, replace the computer with a cunningly painted cardboard replica of the computer which is a spy, etc. Or from the other end, they simply exploit a zero-day in every one of your seven proxies, because they care enough about catching you to burn them.
Sometimes the threat model says you just lose and you can't actually get what you want by using computers, because you have an information technology hammer and a fundamentally legal or political problem.
If you think the police are actually on to your crimes, stop doing those crimes! If the crimes needed doing for some reason, someone else less likely to be known to the police will probably do them instead, and you can surely find less-crimey ways to further whatever they were meant to accomplish. If you're in it for yourself for some sort of personal gain, quit while you're ahead.
If you think you're drastically overestimating the likelihood that the police are after you for your crimes, and it is affecting your ability to function, that's definitely a problem for your therapist. Presumably one who doesn't insist you explain your various crimes to them in detail, a thing which your lawyer (which you also maybe need?) might have concerns about.
What is keeping you all from extreme stress considering the possibility that a government is spying on your actions despite strict privacy practices?
Because I'm a fan of my fucking rights and I'll defend it against an authoritarian government. I don't need to be a terrorist to value free speech.
How do you all stay calm with all this pressure?
It's hard, but by using good tools, writing out my privacy model, being informed. It will not necessarily make you calm about the current state of everything but at least be knowledgeable about how good your entire environment is.
I don't really have anything to hide... but I still believe in a fundamental right to privacy and personal agency. For a lot of people, these tools keep them alive (ex. Targeted minorities in oppressive regimes etc).
But for me, this is more of an academic exercise - I find it interesting, and the things I learn can be shared with others who need them more.
If your activities are affecting your ability to sleep and have peace of mind, my only advice is to stop.
If your own conscience is haunting you, that's a good signal for you to fix your behavior so you can have a clear conscience and you won't need to worry about the law closing in on you. What a horrible existence that must be.
Hey I'm technically doing something illegal right now that I do every day all day long and IDGAF because the law regarding this thing is stupid & oppressive & I'm not hurting myself or anyone else.
But WTF is OP doing on the internet that makes him constantly worried the SWAT Team is gonna be banging down his door? That's not normal.
But at the end the goal is to protect the freedom for everyone and give everyone a chance to live without interruptions by any entity that wants to regulate that
The Onion Router, for internet stuff, or a (reliable and well reputed) VPN. But you have an entire community of people more specialised than me for how to not get noticed on internet anyways. Stays informed on the world, and reduce risky things, for you to get some better sleep. Dunno what businesses you do, but your priority is to stop depending on them. Hiding everything you do is just like putting yourself under the spotlight.
A physical diary that only you knows about, to free yourself from your stressful thoughts and ideas, (with a lighter always nearby) will ease a lot. It works very well for me.
All evenings, take 10 mins of your free time to yell the hell out of your mood in your pillow (gotta think about neighbors). Do sports, or things of your interests. Works too.
Oh and you shouldn't post things implying that much that you are doing suspicious things, anywhere on internet. Best irl stuff about you to talk about on corporate internet is none, even mundane things like your country. Illegal things must be done irl the good old way.
What is keeping you all from extreme stress considering
Not being prone to paranoia, as unhelpful as that is
I'm also a realist, which keeps my expectations in check.
Remember that you are one person. Nobody in government censorship or reconnaissance of the public cares about you enough to spy or hack you. You alone aren't worth the effort or resources.
Remember to play. Go outside for a walk, meditate, consume entertaining non-toxic, non-fiction media, have sex or masturbate. All work and no play makes Ringpop a dull person.
Not much there for me. 99% is worn-out tropes or boring telenovela and gameshows. The beauty of drawn media is, that experiments can be published on a budget.
What is keeping you all from extreme stress considering the possibility that a government is spying on your actions despite strict privacy practices?
Threath model analysis. I do enough to not be in the bycatch as more than a IP (no cloud & social media, encrypted private communication, terminating cloud services after use) and low profile enough to not be targeted directly.
I’m always hiding my internet activity from others.
Me, too. What's wrong with us?
I think the less stressful approach is limiting Internet activity altogether rather than obsessing about whether or not what I'm up to is hidden well enough. For example, you could write your own software. I, myself, obsess about whether or not my python scripts actually work instead of inveigling my friends to encrypt everything they put in the Cloud. See, for example:
I'm not sure about your situation. But I'd recommended setting up Buskill on your laptop/pc it can wipe the luks slots on your drive making it completely unreadable all by just disconnecting a USB (this could be magnetic so if they pull you it'll get auto triggered) but then again this is only useful if you live in somewhat free country where cops can't torture you to decrypt/restore your data.
i don't know why you need extreme privacy. But what I can tell you is it's OK you can take a break from whatever you are doing that needs this lvl of privacy.
Reporting on bad regime, they'll still be doing bad stuff once you come back from a break.
Privacy is like swimming in an endless sea: Oftentimes you find yourself barely treading water; often more you're choking, trying to find your balance and your breath. Never forget that you spent your whole life drowning until you decided to swim, though.
There are entities that have declared that they want to eradicate Israel and wip it off the map. If Israel disarmed it would be the end of Israel in short order.
By invoking self-defense, Israel changes the conversation from its colonial crimes against the Palestinians to the injuries it has itself incurred as a result.
Reading the article, it seems similar. This was on a pine tree, except this was in NY and not the northwest where the mushroom you linked is apparently common.

La paralisi della politica e il vuoto della rappresentanza
C’è un grande vuoto che attraversa la politica contemporanea. Da una parte, l’avanzata globale delle destre radicali — da Trump agli ultraconservatori europei — che cavalcano paura, rancore e identità ferita. Dall’altra, una sinistra ormai prigioniera del proprio linguaggio istituzionale, incapace di parlare alle persone reali. Nel mezzo, milioni di cittadini che hanno smesso di crederci.
Astensionismo record e crisi della sinistra libertaria in Italia
In Italia, questo vuoto si vede con una chiarezza spietata: l’astensionismo record è diventato il vero partito di maggioranza. Non è disinteresse, è un voto di sfiducia. È la risposta di chi ha visto la sinistra gestire le stesse politiche neoliberiste della destra, privatizzare i beni comuni, precarizzare il lavoro e chiamarlo “modernizzazione”.
Il mercato che ha colonizzato la democrazia
Come direbbe Noam Chomsky, la democrazia è stata svuotata dall’interno, mentre il potere economico ha continuato a dettare le regole del gioco. Non serve più un colpo di stato quando il mercato ha già colonizzato la politica.
E così, di elezione in elezione, ci ritroviamo davanti allo stesso bivio finto: o l’autoritarismo di una destra che promette ordine e sicurezza, o la gestione “più umana” di un sistema che resta ingiusto. Ma il risultato non cambia: il conflitto si sposta dai palazzi ai margini della società, dove cresce la rabbia, la paura e la solitudine politica.
Intanto, i governi — di qualunque colore — spingono nella stessa direzione: più spese militari, più riarmo, più fedeltà ai blocchi economici e strategici dominanti. È come se l’intero pianeta fosse intrappolato in una logica binaria, uno scontro tra potenze che si autoalimentano. Eppure, mentre i blocchi si consolidano, l’unica alternativa credibile — un fronte popolare, democratico e libertario — non riesce nemmeno a emergere.
E allora, la domanda è inevitabile: esiste ancora uno spazio per la speranza politica? O siamo destinati a scegliere solo tra due versioni dello stesso dominio?
L’eclissi delle alternative progressiste
La crisi della sinistra libertaria in Italia non è solo elettorale: è culturale, etica, perfino linguistica. Per anni, i partiti riformisti hanno scelto di convivere con il capitalismo estremo, limitandosi a gestirlo “con più sensibilità”. Ma la gestione non è cambiamento. Così, il risultato è stato un progressivo svuotamento della propria base sociale, un allontanamento dei lavoratori, dei precari, delle classi popolari.
Perché la sinistra parlamentare non convince più
La sinistra parlamentare italiana, nella sua forma attuale, non propone un’alternativa radicale al neoliberismo, ma una sua versione “umanizzata”. Il problema è che il neoliberismo, anche nella versione soft, continua a produrre disuguaglianze, precarietà e perdita di diritti. È per questo che l’astensionismo record e l’avanzata della destra radicale sono le due facce della stessa crisi: la prima è il rifiuto, la seconda è la fuga in avanti.
L’ambivalenza geopolitica e il rifiuto della libertà
Come ricordava Noam Chomsky, quando la politica non offre alternative, “la rabbia popolare viene catturata e indirizzata verso bersagli falsi”. Ed è proprio ciò che accade oggi: la frustrazione sociale viene trasformata in rancore contro i migranti, l’Europa, i poveri stessi. È una fabbrica del consenso al contrario, che alimenta la destra mentre svuota la democrazia.
Sul fronte più radicale, la sinistra extraparlamentare resta prigioniera di un’ambivalenza geopolitica: simpatizza per regimi autoritari solo perché anti-occidentali, ma dimentica che la libertà non è negoziabile. Si parla di BRICS e di “mondo multipolare”, ma un multipolarismo senza diritti e democrazia non è un progresso — è solo un’altra forma di dominio.
E allora, la domanda torna centrale: può esistere una sinistra libertaria e non allineata che rifiuti allo stesso tempo la logica dei blocchi e la complicità con il potere economico? Perché senza una proposta etica, popolare e coerente, la crisi della sinistra e il fallimento delle politiche neoliberiste continueranno a lasciare campo libero a chi promette soluzioni autoritarie.
Geopolitica del conflitto e logica dei blocchi
Viviamo dentro una geopolitica del conflitto e del dominio globale. Le grandi potenze — Russia, Cina, Stati Uniti, e l’Europa al seguito — hanno trasformato la politica internazionale in un campo di battaglia permanente. La corsa al riarmo non è più solo un riflesso della paura, ma un vero modello di sviluppo. In Italia e in Europa si parla ormai di portare le spese militari al 5% del PIL, come se la sicurezza potesse essere comprata a suon di missili e droni. Ma ogni euro speso per la guerra è un euro tolto a sanità, istruzione, ambiente, e al diritto a una vita dignitosa.
È una militarizzazione globale che serve a mantenere in piedi un sistema economico in crisi. Lo spiegava già Noam Chomsky: quando il consenso democratico vacilla, i governi usano la paura e il conflitto per riconquistare legittimità. L’“altro” — che sia il migrante, il nemico estero o il dissidente interno — diventa lo strumento con cui il potere si giustifica. Oggi la fabbrica del consenso passa attraverso la fabbrica della paura.
Dallo scontro tra NATO e BRICS alla militarizzazione globale
Ma il rischio non arriva solo dall’Occidente militarizzato. Anche i blocchi alternativi, come Russia, Cina o Turchia, mostrano un volto autoritario e repressivo. La logica dei blocchi alimenta l’estremismo su scala globale: lo vediamo nel sostegno acritico di molti governi occidentali a politiche estreme, come quelle del governo Netanyahu, anche di fronte ad accuse di genocidio. Questo estremismo si riflette anche nelle società: assistiamo a una fascistizzazione del dibattito politico che rende intollerabile la critica. In diverse comunità, incluse alcune comunità ebraiche, chi non accetta l’operato del governo israeliano viene marginalizzato e aggredito. Contemporaneamente, in paesi come i Paesi Bassi, le autorità arrivano a vietare organizzazioni antifasciste (Antifa), equiparando di fatto la resistenza all’estrema destra al terrorismo. L’obiettivo è sempre lo stesso: disciplinare il dissenso. Che si tratti di militarizzazione o di repressione interna, l’effetto è di soffocare la possibilità di un dibattito democratico e radicale.
La contesa tra poteri: nessun blocco è giusto
In questo scenario, le strategie di pace contro la logica dei blocchi diventano la sfida politica più urgente del nostro tempo. Come difendersi da paesi autoritari pacificamente? Come opporsi alla guerra senza restare disarmati di fronte all’aggressione?
Una risposta possibile è quella che alcuni movimenti definiscono “sicurezza umana e non armata”: costruire difese civili, sociali e tecnologiche che non passino per l’escalation militare. La difesa civile nonviolenta come strategia di sicurezza non è utopia — è visione realistica per un mondo dove le guerre non si possono più vincere, ma solo moltiplicare.
Serve un pensiero capace di andare oltre i blocchi, un non-allineamento etico che rimetta al centro i diritti umani, la sovranità democratica e la cooperazione internazionale. E qui si apre la prospettiva di una Terza Via politica ed economica, non come compromesso, ma come rifiuto di entrambe le logiche di dominio.
Una via che unisca libertà e giustizia, etica e solidarietà, riprendendo la lezione di chi — da Chomsky a Bookchin — ci ricorda che la pace non nasce dall’equilibrio della paura, ma dal potere condiviso delle comunità libere.
Verso una terza via libertaria e popolare
Ogni crisi è anche un’occasione. Se la sinistra è prigioniera del proprio linguaggio e la destra si nutre di paura e disuguaglianza, allora serve una nuova grammatica politica, un linguaggio capace di restituire senso, speranza e potere alle persone.
Costruire un blocco democratico, non allineato e pacifista
Questa nuova visione potremmo chiamarla “Terza Via”, ma non nel senso del compromesso blairiano o del centrismo riformista: parliamo di una Terza Via politica ed economica che unisca libertà, democrazia diretta, giustizia sociale ed ecologia. Un blocco democratico, popolare e libertario che rifiuti tanto il capitalismo estremo quanto l’autoritarismo di Stato, proponendo un’alternativa reale al dominio dei blocchi di potere globali.
Economia popolare e sovranità sociale
Il primo pilastro è l’economia solidale e la sovranità sociale. Non un’utopia, ma una direzione concreta: cooperazione locale, filiere etiche, comunità energetiche, mutualismo, autogestione del lavoro. Significa superamento del neoliberismo e della guerra come strumenti economici e culturali, sostituiti da un modello che valorizzi i beni comuni, la redistribuzione e la dignità. È la risposta a un sistema che ha trasformato tutto in merce, anche la vita.
Geopolitica etica: rifiuto dei blocchi (NATO-BRICS)
Il secondo pilastro è la politica di non-allineamento etico. Non si tratta di neutralità, ma di rifiuto dei blocchi NATO e BRICS, perché entrambi fondati sulla stessa logica di dominio e sfruttamento. Una nuova internazionale dei popoli per la pace e il benessere, basata su cooperazione, giustizia ambientale e autodeterminazione democratica. La vera pace non si costruisce con le armi, ma con reti di solidarietà e con un modello di sicurezza civile condiviso. Come suggeriva Chomsky, la libertà dei popoli passa dal controllo collettivo delle risorse e delle decisioni, non dalla dipendenza da superpotenze.
Municipalismo e coerenza morale: Bookchin e la base
Il terzo pilastro è quello che Murray Bookchin chiamava “municipalismo libertario”: una politica che nasce dal basso, dai territori, dalle comunità. Bookchin sosteneva che la democrazia reale non si costruisce nelle istituzioni centrali, ma nei luoghi in cui le persone si incontrano, discutono, decidono insieme. È qui che si intrecciano economia popolare, difesa civile nonviolenta e autogoverno locale: tre strumenti che possono liberare le società dal ricatto dei blocchi globali.
Ma tutto questo richiede coerenza morale. Non si può chiedere libertà senza praticarla, né giustizia senza metterla in atto ogni giorno. La vera alternativa politica nasce quando il discorso pubblico ritrova una dimensione etica, capace di unire pensiero e vita. Serve una cultura della responsabilità, capace di guardare oltre le ideologie morte per ritrovare un principio semplice: la libertà è collettiva, o non è.
La Terza Via: la forma più radicale di speranza politica
In questo orizzonte, la Terza Via non è un partito, ma una visione in atto: una rete di comunità, movimenti, lavoratori e cittadini che scelgono di costruire un’economia del bene comune e una politica della pace.
Non serve aspettare che qualcuno la fondi: esiste già in embrione nelle cooperative sociali, nei gruppi di acquisto solidale, nelle reti di mutualismo, nei municipi che sperimentano forme di autogoverno. Sono i semi concreti di una democrazia dal basso, i primi laboratori di libertà collettiva.
La nuova internazionale dei popoli che immaginiamo non ha eserciti né confini. Ha valori, pratiche e persone che scelgono la coerenza invece della paura. Solo così si può unire libertà democratica e giustizia sociale, superando tanto il neoliberismo quanto la deriva autoritaria.
La “Terza Via” non promette salvezza, ma restituisce possibilità. Ed è forse proprio questa — oggi — la forma più radicale di speranza politica.
Complimenti. Ottimo articolo e preziosissimo strumento di dibattito e costruzione culturale. La terza via è sempre più urgente e a bisogno di noi, tutt* noi.

Hundreds of thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators took to the streets of central London on Saturday, calling for lasting peace in Gaza, a day after the ceasefire took effect.
According Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), which organised the demonstrations against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, more than 600,000 people joined the march.
PSC director Ben Jamal said that the plan put forward by US President Donald Trump was “not a plan for enduring peace”, adding that it fails to address “the root cause of violence”.
More than half a million march in London to demand lasting peace in Gaza

Meanwhile, a senior Hamas official said Saturday that the group’s disarmament, one of the core conditions of Trump’s postwar agreement, is “out of the question.”
A senior Hamas figure says the group will not surrender its weapons as Israel rejects calls to alter the list of 250 Palestinian prisoners to be freed; Officials say both sides have an interest in keeping the Trump-brokered deal on track

Hamas’s own assessment of the battle damage is that its institutional integrity, command and control, and communications have all withstood the severest of tests, including assassinations of top leaders, along with the several Hiroshimas’ worth of high-powered explosives that Israel has dropped on Gaza.
It has as many fighters as it did at the start of the war, and can draw upon a virtually unlimited amount of small arms and explosives to fashion anti-tank rockets and improvised explosive devices.
Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist group in the UK and other countries, does not regard itself as a defeated force - still less one that is now obliged to bend to Israel’s military will. The same is true for the other fighting factions in Gaza.
In destroying Gaza, Israel destroyed its own image as a moral enterprise

lets be clear israel burned 400 villages to the ground and sold the land to jewish immigrants. then passed a law that no one could sue for anything. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_…
just look at the map of burned villages.
israel was never moral. it is as evil as 1940 germany.
Moral? They put convicted terrorists in their government. They murdered UN diplomats trying to mediate ceasefires. They are by definition a terrorist state run by a racist ethno-cult.
It was never moral. From day 1 it was people who'd never lived there. Who had no actual claim to the land. Running people from their family lands and homes. Making them second class citizens at best in their own homes.
And to be clear. There were Jews living peacefully in Palestine before the Zionists came.
This is a proof that palestinians and arab had no problem with the jews that came to the land dimply to live and integrate with them
In 1884 the first Yemenites settled in Silwan and for 45 years lived peacefully and in very good terms with their Arab neighbors. It seemed that the people of Silwan, which was known to be a poor village, found common ground with the poor Jewish Yemenites that lived among them.
Despite the attempt to depict the 1929 Arab Riot as a violent incident against the Jews in Silwan, it is clear that it was not the case. From a letter of gratitude that the Yemenite Jews sent to their Arab neighbors, we can learn about the devotion and benevolence that the Arabs have shown towards the Yemenites by undauntedly protecting them, and also about the amity and good neighborly relations that prevailed between the two communities.
In the late 19th century, Jewish Yemenites moved to live in the Arab village of Silwan. Nowadays, among many parties, specifically right-wingers and settlers, the old Yemenite settlement is considered a strong claim to the contemporary Jewish settlem…
