Forgotten Weapons put out an interesting theory of Stacked Tolerances being the culprit.

From the book Social Anarchism and Organization:

Social movements should not be linked to politicians or to any sector of the state because we know that when they come wanting to help, in the vast majority of cases they are looking for a “base” for their party-political interests, or seeking to calm movements, establishing their dialogues with institutions of the state. Knowing well the authoritarian conception of parties we know that their interest is always to harness social movements, be they reformist or revolutionary parties. Firstly, they participate in elections and see social movements as a source of votes. Secondly, they seek a “mass movement” that serves as a base for the vanguard that they wish to be. In this case, political parties want to lead and direct the social movements, thinking themselves superior to them and judging [themselves] to be the enlightened that will bring consciousness to the exploited classes. Often their members are intellectuals that want to know, better than the people themselves, what is best for them. Other organisations that seek to control, such as churches and bureaucratic unions also do not help social movements.

All these people should be removed from social movements because they do not defend the interests of the social movements, but their own interests. The social movement does not need bosses, leaders or people who want to use it. The social movement needs people who want to support it and struggle with it, but not struggle for it, in its place. It is a place that is legitimised by the need for survival and by the dignity that causes that promote true solidarity possess.

They only liked state's rights when it enabled them to hurt others and line their pockets.

Now that the fed is letting them do that, state's rights can be tossed aside until they need it again.

Best of luck! :D

If you do end up investing, a while back I put together a short guide on how to make it ever so slightly less bad for the environment.

Though with how crazy everything is, it is a bit of a risk to invest into the stock market.

An alternative option might be to invest in a CD with a credit union, which would have a safe guaranteed return, but usually at a lower rate. Alliant (an online only credit union) usually has pretty good CD rates compared to brick and mortar ones.

Perhaps a mixture of both methods would give good results, only investing the percentage into the stock market that you're willing to risk.

No worries ^^

Might want to add a spoilers tag around that, since it's a recommendation list and many (including myself) likely haven't read them.

Hope you enjoy it! ^^

Also, I learned that the rich guy with the cigar at the beginning of the film is, in fact, a cameo of John Huston!

There is, thankfully.

On the default interface (you may be able to do this from an app, but I'm not sure which), If you go to your account settings page there's a small tab at the top called 'Blocks'. After clicking on that, you should be able to add lemmit.online to your Block Instance section, which will block any posts from there showing up in your feed.

I'm somewhat reminded of the art style for Full Throttle. Good stuff!

They might want to organize into federated groups as an option, for sure. Critically the lack of coercive dominance hierarchies and horizontal power structures is what would make them Anarchist.

I like that one too.

A community deciding on issues collectively and without coercive dominance hierarchies sounds like it'd fit right in there.
