The thing that's always frustrated me about anarchists (from what you've written, I'm assuming that's you) is that you imagine groups of people will just *do* things, collectively, for the betterment of all. And that will work. Humans have way too much of the "what's in it for me?" gene for that to work on any kind of scale. I mean, hell, sit through any HOA meeting ever held...

Anyone have an idea what this cactus might be? It was included in a plant order, no labels as a freebee. It started about 4” tall, it’s got white hairs and no spikes. I put it in a little pot and it has grown to almost 24” high. I’ve researched, but the only thing I’ve found with white hairs is an “old man” cactus, but it is barrels shape, while this isflat, oval shaped.

I reject the premise of your question, and I'm not playing your words games where every law is inherently a personal attack. Laws are necessary for society to function.

I feel like I achieved cold fusion.

If the goal were upholding the law, they would behave very differently.
I'm half white. I get that white people are programmed to have positive feelings about police, but at some point you have to learn to look past that.

"These are the same people who — like Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, who is running for president — believe drag shows and trans kids are more dangerous than fossil fuels and our rapidly warming planet."
