It's literally in the posted image. If you see someone unhoused offer them food or a blanket. Help your neighbors with tasks around the house or their yard. Ask around at work about your coworkers lives and if they need help offer it. Pick up trash you see around your neighborhood.

I have an honest question, why are you posting in this community?

Also, do you know the definition of willful ignorance?

Oh I've definitely done things like that for the homeless. But it doesn't really do anything about organizing or creating any sense of community, which is what I was asking about.

Those people are gone the next day, and a fresh batch replaces them. I don't think I've ever seen the same person twice.

If I ever even saw any neighbours or had any evidence to them existing, how does mowing their lawn bring about any political aims exactly? They're just exploiting my labour then, not that I'd know how to mow a lawn or do most other house tasks as I'm not a homeowner.

Besides, I think showing up to some house unnanounced to strangers and offering to help with "tasks" will be met with a call to the police because they'd suspect I'm either trying to rob them or sell them something.

As for coworkers, most people are outsourced contractors who either don't speak English, or do but live overseas. I think I've seen my direct coworkers twice IRL, they are all each from different countries.

I do know what wilful ignorance means, and this ain't it, because you've failed to explain anything that applies, so I am not being willfully ignorant, but I am completely ignorant to what you're talking about as you've failed to explain it, and what's worse you've decided to come back with insults etc.

I think as most people I am here to learn and interact with like-minded people, but as you can see by my upvote count, it is highly likely that I'm not alone in this situation, so if you want people to actually do any of this, you're gonna have to chill with the condescending tone and gatekeeping of being a public good and actually explain what you mean by any of this "community" or "organizing" shit or how any of this is meant to work in practice.
