[hackerspaces] Hacking, making, learning?

[hellekin]

Why the quotes in "for all"? As the global capitalist society continues,
we do not have enough drinkable water for all humans, let alone the rest
of the living. We've seen countless times how much water is used by
extractivist companies to remove metals or hydrocarbons from the ground,
and how these processes pollute water beyond sanity. As they do it with
impunity, I guess hackers would be able to stop them in their tracks by
extracting compromising information from them, or killing their
machines. At some point, DIY is not enough: you can certainly help build
water filters and purifiers from citizen science, but you cannot simply
stop the harm made to rivers, cultures who protect them, and stop the
massive fabrication of metal-based and oil-based products, including
vehicles and computers. It's war that makes capitalism possible, maybe
it's time to wage war on capitalism.
