I’m an anarchist, and my take is that anarchism isn’t pacifism, and “no coercion” is a bad summary. It’s more about the absence of hierarchical coercion and instead distribution of power to all people and communities.

他 third person singular, neutral 她 she 它 it (non-human, especially inanimate) 牠 it (animal) 祂 third person singular (divine)

Came here to post this. Sure seems like states are the problem here…

Down with states and stature
Strive instead to ready
Through direct radical action

Refreshed from old ashes
Our society rises

If we assume portals obey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_invariance, then there’s no difference between “the tram|portal is moving and the people are stationary” and “the tram|portal is stationary and the people are moving.” The outcome should be the same.

This is because your operands are const char[]. That’s not a std::string.

C++ does, but it’s not a very efficient operation. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/operator%2B
