This. Also, in Europe you can get internet, electricity, email from coops. There are even some “ethical banks” and some survivors from the 2008 (at least in Sapin) as “small savings rural banks” (cajas de ahorros).

And if you aren’t a rich progressist and can’t afford some expensive eco-bio-coop consume, there are 2d hand options, food recicling, stealing is easy enough (and nobody will shoot a bullet to you for this) and so on. So, yeah, off-the-grid is a legit option, but on-the-grid stealing electricity from huge power corps is super legit also. No need to go to the caves.

Even in case of no alternative (say, I must have an id and a cellphone number), this doesn’t justify anything from CEOs. Fun fact is, in the case of Proton, there is PLENTY of alternatives. So, let’s use all the colorful gradients instead of accepting to remain in a dark-gray scale

I enthusiastically recomment https://africanstream.media/ for following the Sahel Alliance and panafricanist progress ✊

Btw are you confusing Catalunya and València? How do you relate the referendum with the floods management? I don’t want to sound harsh, but I suspect confusion and reductionism >.<U

Some things never change :)

The monarchy has been hated since it was reestablished. Pre-referendum times, there are soccer final (la copa del Rey) between Catalan and Basque clubs, giving the back and whistling so hard to the Spanish anthem, that the Spanish National TV disconnected the live sound and played the hymn on top.

There are also public cases of prosecution against people burning pictures of the (former) king, for a very useful law there is called “injurias contra la corona y la bandera”. And so on.

After Franco, they didn’t do a referendum about the monarchy established by Franco because polls told they may lose it, in favour of a republic. You know, the so called “Democratic transition” was more of a “transaction”. Same Police, same judges, same symbols, same politicians, same richmen.
