i sold a ship on fire and it made me rich but i need help

Okay so I was on my home planet and saw an NPC ship on fire that needed to be repaired. I did it and remembered i can sell stuff, so i sold it and it gave me I think $3M. It was enough to consistently buy almost all ships that came into the station and now I have $30M.

the ship I started with was a C-class but right now a B-class came in looking like a Star Wars X-wing. and guess WHAT, a yellow tennis ball looking ship came in and it was an S-class! I bought it immediately and all of its stats were like +100.0 better than everything my original ship was.

So i’m keeping the B-class because it’s better than my C-class (which i just sold) and keeping the S-class. I made sure to take out all the cargo and upgrades and put it on a freighter or something, and i’ll put it on my next ship.

The inventory sizes are pretty good on both, i think they’re both better than what I had. I don’t understand why the open inventory slots are spread out though and not all cubic. But these are good. Now I want to have a good ship with high stats and high inventory space. But I think to purchase more slots for the B-class, it’s like 3M each but 11M for the S-class.

Are there easier ways to upgrade the slots on my ship other than paying those millions? and also do you all have multiple ships with high upgrades? Or should i get rid of my cool looking B-class and move all the upgrades to the yellow tennis ball S-class that’s all thank you reddit go traveler s kzzzt

My understanding is that a wide amount of people became radicalized to be anarchists during the current american administration. There will undoubtedly be people who say that a “less vile” leader will always be better than a “more vile” leader. How can we continue to stand our ground?

When the current admin is out, and an equally violent group (but less violent to some people) comes into power, do and did anarchists historically have to defend their ideas even more? what is the best way to analytically say (not just morally) that “better politicians” aren’t materially changing anything? struggling to word this, thank you

people need to be taken care of and have their needs met regardless of who far away is in power. but for some more deeper things, how can we stay committed to anarchism?

just came out of a conversation with people critiquing anarchism saying that it has no consistent definition of hierarchies.

i guess it’s just frustrating because i stand by a lot of what anarchists say. i run an anarchist literature circle as well. i felt weak and uneducated when they popped holes into various arguments. they were asking something like “when the American North forced the American South to desegregate, is that a hierarchy anarchists would be against?” Obviously ending segregated society is the way a world should be ordered, but it seemed to trap me in a weird spot where the ONLY way it could happen was if the North militarily situated themselves above the South. annnndddd since anarchists are against hierarchies, they would be against it.

i tried repeatedly explaining that anarchists are against unjustified hierarchies and acts of domination and coercion, and they said “you’re making my point for me. anarchists are only against hierarchies that THEY do not like, not ALL hierarchies.” i gave the whole “if there a kid about to get hit by a car, are you exacting your authority over that person” and they all agreed. They even said that the anarchist definition of state, via the Weber definition of “having a monopoly on force” is incorrect and that a state is just anything that maintains class structure.

I felt so cornered. How can we have such detailed conversations and theory on insurrectionism and syndicalism and stuff if we, or I, can’t have objective definitions of what a hierarchy is?
