@Lady anyway to be more clear what i mean is that sharrans feel like the conservative imagination of what anarchism is but i feel like most conservatives don’t even know what anarchism is

@Lady some do (they do not have a coherent idea of what communism is)

@packetcat the overly simplified rule is that it joins independent clauses in a non-explanatory way (“i went to the store; i went to the park” vs “i went to the store: i wanted some milk”) when you want to suggest a shorter stop than a full stop between the two sentences

@packetcat historical usage is not entirely consistent with this purrinciple but, fur example, when the WGA makes writing credits, they use & to mean that two people collaborated, and “and” to mean that two people worked on the same script at diffurent times

@packetcat i once saw @Lady suggest that “&” suggests that the linked terms are components of a whole; this is why i write things like “m & j” when talking about them

i am fascinated by the way that sharrans are portrayed like the conservative boogeyman of communism. a bunch of people duped into working against their own self-interest, in the earnest belief that they are toppling injustice wherever it may be found, but ultimately functioning as agents of disorder and chaos

@wallhackio what you’re describing sounds like a potential safety hazard at this point lol
