Don’t host on YouTube? They’re a big company, I’m sure they’ve got the resources for a couple of video files.

Is there an easy way to purge a Lemmy account or do you have to edit/ delete each comment and post first?

I’ve had issues with deleting posts previously and just resorted to editing them to be useless instead.

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.

“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.

Flying insects are not necessarily impossible to control. You can promote the populations of their predators.

The problem is, that usually requires promoting a mixture of amphibians, birds, reptiles, small mammals, and other insects. To do that, you need a habitat full of various plants, trees, and terrains, but vast swathes of land have been turned into dead monoculture, so the predators die out.
