Activism questions, please reply to thread by e-mail or if you prefer by bitmessage [included]
Hello, Recent events have led me to seriously consider a fast. In protest culture there has been a difference between how hunger strikes and fasts are looked at. The difference is explained well enough here: http://wagingnonviolence.org/feature/rules-hunger-striking-radicals/ I would like to get your opinions pro or con. Please feel free to tell me just how important it is that I should consider it or just how ridiculous it is that I am even bringing it up. I value your opinion. However, I would greatly appreciate receiving your opinion, no matter how much or how little you have to say, within a day's time from when I am sending this message. See also: http://www.wikihow.com/Go-on-a-Hunger-Strike-Safely Causes that most interest me are related to the interest of the USA police state to militarize and surveill at home while attempting to engage in war after war overseas without end, The coercive and violent methods that the US government and governments like it (e.g. Russia, China, and many others) around the globe use in order to forcibly extract through taxation from residents so that they can wage war profitably, The social problems inherent in unquestioning compliance with nationality and laws attached to such notions, and the alternatives which could be presented through decentralization of giving systems which are more similar to those found in nature. I realize that if I do this I'm going to have to distill a cause and make it palatable and reduce it basically to one so that it's clear and to the point (in addition to have clear and obvious targets for who is the person or persons who I mean to draw attention to by way of the fast, etc.) If you'd rather not reply by e-mail, here's a public bitmessage address associated with this issue that any of you can reply to: BM-2cWLvGzKgX9jdQ5u43D6JEDgfnFhUzrj33 Details of bitmessage installation regardless of whatever operating system you have are here: https://bitmessage.org (or) https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page I look forward to your advice. Respectfully, Odinn

Welp, not much answers I guess. I had a problem with distilling mine. I am not sure a fast would send a signal strong enough for it to matter and be worth the suffering, but I hope I am wrong. Maybe consider getting a few people to fast together as a larger action. -- Pozdr rysiek

a fast of three days or more recharges the immune system. a well functioning immune system leads to better health. a healthy cypherpunk can write more code. thus, a periodic fast of three days or so is useful. however, too frequent a fast will interfere with cypherpunk brain function, and lead to less code. and should thus be avoided. best regards,
