Other than The Conquest of Bread , I have not delved into much AnCom theory. I have been suggested Now and After: The ABC of Communist Anarchism but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Mad props to you for at least trying, man. I wish I could unionize my workplace but there is only 10 of us and all of them minus the 2 managers watch Fox News on the daily… and they aren’t even old. Shit’s sad. And don’t fret about labels, we’re all leftists in some sense. I think I’m an anarcho-communist.

I’m sure I’m not alone or unique in my response but the night that the 2016 election results were coming in, I had a thousand-yard stare pointed at the TV but I could not hear anything. My liberal brain at the time just broke and could not fathom how someone like Trump could rise to power. Being the nerd I am, this naturally resulted in me asking questions and researching answers. Eventually, I started listening to political podcasts to try and just get started with wrapping my head around what I should be paying attention to. Eventually, I came across the Chapo subreddit. Since I like dark humor, it was a good mix of laughing the pain away while still being somewhat informed. Then, I listened to ChapoTrapHouse for a while and slowly started learning about more leftist history and media criticism (BASED Citations Needed shout-out) through related podcasts. Now, I don’t listen to ChapoTrapHouse at all; mostly, and this is on rotation: Beau of the Fifth Column, Bad Empanada, Citations Needed, and the GameGrumps (I like feeling like a kid sometimes, leave me alone).

To be honest with you, I did my research on their simultaneous functionality a while ago so I forgot the answer to your question. But I see it as a final boss any ads have to face if they make it past uBlock. The way it works is actually pretty cool. Whatever ads it does get a hold of, it fucks with them hard.

Probably the most suggested ones and one hidden gem: uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, and AdNauseum
