Cherán. 5 years of self-government in an indigenous community in Mexico
"Ordinary people decided to confront the criminal organizations that came down from the hill with several vans loaded with wood. That was the beginning. Its experience has inspired indigenous communities throughout Mexico, who seek respect for their rights, territory, institutions and culture."

Can satellite imagery fight illegal logging in Mexico?
Between 2006 and 2012, researchers estimate that about 70 percent of Cheran’s forests were ravaged by organised criminals as locals staged protests to denounce police inaction.

"The battle over the Nordic countries’ accession illustrates the limitations of a security alliance that depends on the participation and consensus of authoritarian governments. For now, it’s the Kurds who will continue to bear the brunt of Erdoğan’s demands — but so long as he continues to direct NATO’s second-largest army, the Turkish president will also hold sway over the wider West"

Yes, this would mean #indigeonous communities would be able to form systems, such as education, media, housing, policing, roads and health, resulting in the #selfDetermination that many people, not just Aboriginal Peoples yearn for. It also means that when travelling in Australia, people would need to be more mindful of the culture in other regions.

Is this a problem? Not really. In fact it is one of the joys of #travelling.

@silverspookgames Personally I think the #USA should be forced to allow #SelfDetermination of the locals and offer either #Statehood and all the benefits or #Independence + #reparations for the #exploitations done...

Few men would be happy if others had the determining of their occupation and pleasures.

I updated some more bits from the rationale. It's tedious work so I hope it'll get some resonance so I didn't do the work for nothing.

I made an English language post about the proposed German "self determination law" for legal gender change and related name changes.

By now, it's mostly a description of the proposed law itself, with not much commentary, and not yet about the official rationale.

Self-Motivation is a powerful psychological and emotional instrument, it is a key component to successfully achieve any goal.

It is an internal interactive partner, a voice of incentives and positive counseling constantly engaging you in interior dialogues of encouragement.

All anarchist theories of self-organization call for (in various ways and with different emphases):

- Individual and Group Autonomy with Free Initiative: The autonomous individual is the fundamental basis of all genuinely anarchistic theories of organization, for without the autonomous individual, any other level of autonomy is impossible. Freedom of initiative is likewise fundamental for both individuals and groups. With no higher powers comes the ability and necessity for all decisions to be made at their point of immediate impact. As a side note, post-structuralists or postmodernists who deny the existence of the autonomous anarchist individual most often mistake the valid critique of the metaphysical subject to imply that even the process of lived subjectivity is a complete fiction — a self-deluded perspective which would make social theory impossible and unnecessary.

- Free Association: Association is never free if it is forced. This means that people are free to associate with anyone in any combination they wish, and to dissociate or refuse association as well.

- Refusal of Political Authority, and thus of Ideology: The word “anarchy” literally means no rule or no ruler. No rule and no ruler both mean there is no political authority above people themselves, who can and should make all of their own decisions however they see fit. Most forms of ideology function to legitimate the authority of one or another elite or institution to make decisions for people, or else they serve to delegitimate people’s own decision-making for themselves.

- Small, Simple, Informal, Transparent and Temporary Organization: Most anarchists agree that small face-to-face groups allow the most complete participation with the least amount of unnecessary specialization. The most simply structured and least complex organizations leave the least opportunity for the development of hierarchy and bureaucracy. Informal organization is the most protean and most able to continually adapt itself to new conditions. Open and transparent organization is the most easily understood and controlled by its members. The longer organizations exist the more susceptible they usually become to the development of rigidity, specialization and eventually hierarchy. Organizations have life spans, and it is rare that any anarchist organization will be important enough that it should exist over generations.

- Decentralized, Federal Organization with Direct Decision-Making and Respect for Minorities: When they are necessary larger, more complex and formal organizations can only remain self-manageable by their participants if they are decentralized and federal. When face-to-face groups — with the possibility for full participation and convivial discussion and decision-making — become impossible due to size, the best course is to decentralize the organization with many smaller groups in a federal structure. Or when smaller groups need to organize with peer groups to better address larger-scale problems, free federation is preferred — with absolute self-determination at every level beginning with the base. As long as groups remain of manageable size, assemblies of all concerned must be able to directly make decisions according to whatever methods they find agreeable. However, minorities can never be forced into agreement with majorities on the basis of any fictitious conception of group sovereignty. Anarchy is not direct democracy, though anarchists may certainly choose to use democratic methods of decision-making when and where they wish. The only real respect for minority opinions involves accepting that minorities have the same powers as majorities, requiring negotiation and the greatest level of mutual agreement for stable, effective group decision-making.

In the end, the biggest difference is that anarchists advocate self-organization while leftists want to organize you. For leftists, the emphasis is always on recruiting to their organizations, so that you can adopt the role of a cadre serving their goals. They don’t want to see you adopt your own self-determined theory and activities because then you wouldn’t be allowing them to manipulate you. Anarchists want you to determine your own theory and activity and self-organize your activity with like-minded others. Leftists want to create ideological, strategic and tactical unity through “self-discipline” (your self-repression) when possible, or organizational discipline (threat of sanctions) when necessary. Either way, you are expected to give up your autonomy to follow their heteronomous path that has already been marked out for you.

I remember that yesterday ChatGpt said something like "we care about your privacy". Today it seems that due to an error the saved conversations are served to the wrong users... I want to check it and I found that ChatGpt doesn't work, and in console I have found a lot of :
"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<' "

Maybe ChatGpt needs self-development to avoid that bug..

Anyway, I like ChatGpt, I'm just surprised at these errors, gross 🚨 .
