I’m not American. But when I was in the country I was quite politically engaged. I guess I just wonder what they, or even you, think qualifies as motivating action, because they’ve never responded in the past.

You see, this is the problem. You think solidarity is just a ticket to unbounded gains, so you encourage a pattern of behaviours that only contribute to the downward spiral. You’re not ready for solidarity, yet. You need to start with trust. If you don’t think your clients should be able to expect you to set prices that cover the cost of the exchanged goods and services, that they should instead guilt splurge so that your notoriously wage stealing boss, then you aren’t in a position to be serious about contributing to a movement of solidarity.

Nothing says separating from state control like building your own state off bucks

In a way I think it’s more negative. As in you often expect that a person you trust cannot/wouldn’t do things, particularly if they harm you or your interests. The “cannot” side leads closer to dependence, again⁺ imo, but overall you’d also be more vulnerable than someone who’s merely willing to benefit from asking for a favour.

Gorgomillo. He’s a peculiarly friendly ghost who is, or at least used to be, known to haunt a Pizza Express in Woking.

What do you actually agree with in that article? Not philosophically. specifically about how they detect and evaluate the evidence they present.

Tmyk, thanks
