I'm playing minecraft, and some in-game fascists are planning to organize some music concerts in a nearby village.

Any (preferably non-pvp) ideas?

(This is all going to happen in minecraft and should not be interpreted as real life)

I click it and it goes to the post, but the link button already does that.

Like, are there any winners in this equation? I know we talk about money not being real, but like, how not real is it? Where do those trillions go?

I just wanna spam my friends and loved ones with Qin burning the western flags tbh, in Signal and Telegram. Is that a possibility?

Now I'm not talking about smuggling anything illegal, I aim to keep my activities on this side of the border strictly legal. Not out of love for cops but as a defence against them harassing me. I'm thinking about things like "helping" Americans pay only $2000 for an iphone instead of $3000, that sort of thing. Any pointers, tips, ideas?

Some of you must have some knowledge for this.

Long story short, KKKier Sturmer just announced a Universal Studios themepark here in the UK.

https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/universal-studios-theme-park-bedford-b2729985.html

This shit is definitely how he got Sky News to start being friendlier to Labour, because Sky News and Universal both share the same parent company not - Comcast.

Anyway, they're building this shit here because Universal own the rights to use Harry Potter in themeparks. So it makes sense to them to make it their Harry Potter park in authentic Britain where fucking Potter nerds from all over the fucking world that don't hate JK Rowling will come for their authentically British Hogwarts experience.

So. Let's hear some tactics for resisting the construction of themeparks and making it as painful as possible. For entertainment purposes.

We have at least a couple mice (I'm like 75% sure they're mice and not rats) roaming around downstairs. Of the two we saw, one is just a tiny little bablet, the other one was noticeably larger but still a small one, idk if it's an adult or not because I'm not that familiar with mice, I just know they're obviously different ages and therefore we're likely dealing with a family.

They don't really bother me; I'm mostly afraid I will step on them or one will crawl into the cozy warmth of our bed while we're sleeping, and while I think they're the cutest things I've ever seen, I don't want absolutely anything skittering on my bare legs in bed - I'm WAY more scared of cockroaches and I have had one of those in my bed before and... I just know it's going to trigger the same response if I feel a mouse, however unlikely that is. All that to say, I'm not really bothered them, but my girlfriend is having a meltdown, she is petrified. So I need tips on how to get them out of here, safely.

My other concern is that we have 4 cats - 4 indoor cats who are more hungry for stimulation than for tasty mice bodies, and yesterday my girlfriend witnessed our cats playing with (tormenting) one of the poor little guys, and I don't want them to get tortured and eviscerated.

So far we have placed 4 humane traps in corners and up against walls where we have seen them, 2 baited with cat food (since we have seen one eating the cat food), one baited with bread, and one baited with peanut butter. The peanut butter one I placed last night, but none of them have gone for it yet. The other ones I placed just now. I also dusted the corners of the room with cinnamon after reading that that might ward them off, but the little guy I just saw was literally just hanging out in a big dusting of cinnamon, so I have to believe it's not really bothering them, or at least making them avoid her room (the basement).

What else can I do?

I've recently been elected to a position of non-negligible power in a leftist organization. In my time in the org I've noticed a lot of little inefficiencies and communication breakdowns that I think could be solved with a more coherent structure. Are there any good texts on how revolutionary parties have been structured? I don't so much mean the theory of ML organization, but literally what the org chart of a party looks like. Who the officers are, what their responsibilities are, what kind of meetings and programs are being held, etc.

I recognize that what has worked historically might not work for my current situation, but I can't help feeling like we're probably reinventing the wheel over here and that most of our problems have probably been solved before. I also recognize that the most comprehensive answer is to study history, but I'm hoping for something a little more condensed.

Any reading recommendations or advice would be appreciated!
