But we have flying cars
That's how anarchy has been portrayed by propaganda media since time immemorial because it scares those in power.
Anarchy means without hierarchy. That's it. Rules can still be agreed upon. It just means there isn't one person, or group of elites, setting and enforcing the rules, but that they're agreed upon by consensus.
Just like hierarchical systems, there are many different variations of anarchy. Very few, if any, serious forms call for chaos and everything goes.
Why? Because it would just lead straight back to Might is Right. "I'm bigger, stronger, more powerful than you, so I'll make you do as I wish" isn't a part of anarchist theory.
Anarchism, despite seeming a simple concept on paper, is a difficult and complicated idea. Not because of the core principles but because humans and human behaviour are weird and hypocritical at times.
That's MTG, right? Who's the jumpsuit guy?
"At least he is more civilised"
To me, that makes him scarier. He can keep a mask on while stabbing you in the back. Trump, at least, is pretty open with who and what he is.
Hindenburg and others thought Hitler wasn't scary at first. They thought they could control him. Look how that turned out. Civilised doesn't mean moral. It doesn't mean he'll do right for the county and people. It just means he knows his airs and graces when they're needed.
As Backlog said, there's no such thing as a good Nazi.
Paywalled and the archive link doesn't seem to load. Does anyone have a copy of the article?
"Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule."
I was taught to repeat that phrase, at a normal steady pace, when I saw the back of their car go past something, to use as a marker (a signpost, the end of one of the lines on the road, whatever).
If you finish the phrase after the front of your car has gone past the same marker, then you don't have a big enough braking distance and need to ease off a bit.
Which Google Translate thinks means Red Stubble haha
It means Red Point

Gaelic defines colours differently from English. The term "red" here means the orange-brown hue of the rock, which is most obvious in the foreground of your picture.
Great pic!
Buachaille Etive Mòr translates as "great/big herdsman of Etive" for anyone curious, with Etive being the name of the river/glen.
That's why I bought a tarp. I know it's gonna take me a couple years to get round to fixing the roof but I don't want the rafters etc to rot in the meantime so I'ma chuck a big ol' tarp on top and call it good until I can get my mind to hyperfixate on fixing it.
I thought it was something to do with Kim Dotcom's Mega at first. Such a dumb headline.

And the carrot plant looks near identical to Giant Hogsweed because they're both in the same family. One has a delicious carrot underneath and will do you no harm, you can even eat the green tops. The other will cause you severe burns even just by brushing against it. The plant itself doesn't even burn you, it destroys the skin in such a way that sunshine is what burns you.
Your comment made me think of this spoken piece at the end of Anti-Police Aggro by Oi Polloi.
"Revolution isn't a thing that happens overnight. It's not a thing that - the orgasmic storming of Buckingham Palace and everything's all right in the morning, we've got a revolutionary society. We've got to realize that as things get harder - when we have a revolution, when we're headed towards a revolution things'll be harder still - and when we've obtained our revolution it doesn't stop - it continues on and on and on and on - It continues on until WE are the moderates. Right? When we are the moderates that's when we have a revolution. When ordinary people say "Anarchists? Ah, fuck - they're a load of fuckin liberals - they don't believe in revolution at all, ah, fuckin hell they're useless, like, you know" - Yeah, that's what I wanna see. That's what I'm fuckin' fighting for."

Sounds better than when we let those with the means, and then some, get state handouts...
