No one watched this HBO series? I found it fascinating. Mostly because these people were so self-important and thinking they were changing the world but I’d never heard of Anarchapulco, or Jeff Berwick, or Nathan Freeman. I found it difficult to empathize with some of the troubles these people had, because they were just so freaking clueless. ---

Well, if living in a luxury condo is living on the fringe… ---

The series I saw on HBO was called The Anarchists, not Anarchists Unite! ---

Sorry I didn’t put the actual title in the title. I should have made it more clear. ---

I thought you were being facetious, since if anarchists united to organize, their would not be anarchy. ---

Well, yeah, but I didn’t give the precise title of the show. That seems to be the complaint. ---

I wasn’t complaining but instead just thinking that if you want to discuss a program, it might help to actually name the program. ---

So, what did you think of the show? I liked how it was mostly these profoundly deluded people hoisting themselves on their own petards. ---
