Many, sure. But the number of qualified doctors in my area shilling antivax nonsense has colored my perception.

I live near there and honestly nobody’s likely to care enough to give you trouble

It’s 2025 and housing costs have been rising for ages now? That’s not that unusual, especially in a city or if you’re renting a decent house.

Take note, folks. Watch this trend spread.

Please have another banger of a soundtrack. That Godspeed You Black Emperor sound really took the others from good to great.

So we crowdfunding his legal aid or what?

Because taking action isn’t in their self-interest. That’s it.

“Government” is a very vague term.

Anarchists are opposed to rulers, not rules. We want to be able to establish our own rules directly. The form of social organization depends largely on the anarchist you’re talking to, but most of us support some variation on federated communes utilizing direct democracy and delegates, not representatives.

Honestly, just read The Conquest of Bread by Petr Kropotkin. It’s available free at thebreadbook.com

No, because the plumber doesn’t have power over you.

Your boss has power over you - he can decide to remove your source of income, and uses that as leverage to get you to do what he wants.

Your government has power over you - they have a monopoly on the use of violence and use it to maintain control.

Your preacher has power over you - by making you afraid for your soul, he can manipulate you unwillingly, or severely impact your social status.

Your plumber is someone providing a service, that’s completely different.

Opposition to hierarchy.

From Greek for without rulers. Anarchism is rooted in opposition to forms of domination and coercion; historically, its three main opponents have been the Church, the State, and capitalism. The main Western tradition of anarchism dates back to the advent of socialism, although there have been many anarchic societies and philosophers the world over for pretty much as long as people have existed.

There are lots of forms of anarchism, generally relating to either different visions of an ideal horizontal social structure, or just boiling down to what that particular activist focuses on (anarcho-feminists are mostly concerned with patriarchy, for instance). Mostly, anarchists aren’t prescriptivist - as long as people are trying to take power into their own lives, anarchists are for it.

I wonder how profitable they actually are. The ad money must be reasonably good to justify the risk.

Though I suppose the risk is exactly why these sites are run from the countries they typically are…

I did Pit of Heresy. Which is debatably the easiest dungeon (Shattered Throne came out earlier, but Pit has Rally flags), but still. I wear the emblem proudly (and have even taught the dungeon to a few newbies). I’ve nearly completed Grasp, and I’ve gotten well into the second boss of Warlord’s solo, but… then I take a long break and play other stuff.

With Prismatic it’s actually much easier to run a good mix of sustain, CC, and DPS in one loadout.

That’s what soloing dungeons in Destiny is like. They’re 3-man activities but can all be done solo if you’ve got the balls. The real trick is a Flawless run, zero deaths. I spent months working on my first Solo Flawless, and once I nailed it, it was as if everything else had gotten easier. Now I can run that dungeon with my eyes closed.

I can respect that, even if I’m not a big Souls player. Set a goal, commit to it, and see it through. It’s good practice for life.
