Well, guess it's time to join organizations en mass until they can't help but split into various smaller, local organizations that have focused areas of concern. I guess they can't help but assemble into larger and larger meta organizations, wresting power from those they send to infiltrate and debilitate large organizations, and ensuring that power is balanced in an anarchic way such that any one leader can't be snatched and dispatched at will. Ape together strong. Yay! Can you make that into a song? No? Then you are useless to our movement, autistic artist hero.
