Of the wide variety of strains of ideologically sound thinkers I've interacted with, no-one does faff like anarchists. No-one.
Too true. :-| (Somewhat disaffected? Nah...) I also start wanting to step in and run things like somebody's grandma, just to get something done and some of the bickering stopped. ("You, there, go sit in the corner until you can act like an adult and treat other people with respect! And maybe get some grip on pragmatism!"--without its being voluntary, that is. *snort*) Which does go pretty far toward explaining why I just avoid groups these days. Especially in meatspace. Now I mainly just get into snarkfests with other indigenist types who mostly don't call themselves anarchists (anymore)--which also gets very little done, but in a much more amusing and less apoplexy-inducing way. ;)
They don't specify that said "anarchists" need to be living now--much less in the UK--which opens up a lot more "information relating to" of sorts already mentioned. Especially with the stateless past of, erm, large areas of the world. Just a thought, though I am too lazy to implement something like that to make a point.
I also wish some of our neighbors knew that (or cared), if burning smoky things is legally frowned upon. One houseload of pyros (usually upwind) must go around collecting other people's garden debris to take home and burn. :/ Granted, the climate and post-1666 architecture are not nearly as suited to accidentally burning everything down here, but all the smoke is not great in a densely populated area, no.
