Counter culture in general has been a way to deradicalize youth who are looking around, finding themselves dissatisfied with the material conditions and wondering why. From the beatnik era onward, the capitalist substructure has coopted and utilized artistic movements as a shield against criticism of itself.

Their original intent of bucking the system, rejecting imperialism, or what have you is transformed into social clubs, substance abuse, hedonism and big money.

These examples become the only available ideas of what a disaffected youth could replicate if they were to start questioning the status quo, and it's a guaranteed dead end that leads them to one day give it up and capitulate to capitalism once they accept that maybe dumpster diving and throwing house shows isn't going to end capitalism after all, maybe it's time to learn a trade or join the family business.

I provided three different examples I've personally seen from totally unaffiliated people and/or groupings of people but go off. I referenced a century of history vaguely which implies notorious examples beyond my personal experiences as well.

Anarchism is just fundamentally anti-Marxist by the very nature of being idealist instead of materialist. There are endless words written about Anarchism, you can get incredibly deep with it, but the very foundation of it is individualist idealism so it's like getting deep into the fantasy genre or sci fi. It is a story centered around thoughts and emotions instead of a scientific process of social change centered around an analysis of material conditions, history, and economics. This is why it is has been so popular in the west, because you can just feel and think whatever you want and immediately feel better about yourself for being politically progressive compared to the people around you.

Anarchists have historically been anti communist and actively fought against marxists for over a century. I've seen anarchists flip Marxist tables at book events, push them out of community coalition for being "tankies", cop jacket, etc.

They act like they don't want a state and hierarchy but then the world they want to make are still functionally hierarchical states. Kind of like anarchists point to rojava or the EZLN as examples of successful "anarchists" but those are both states with hierarchy

By capture enemy position they mean they rolled them into an area the enemy wasn't fighting in and said "look we took the position." This is the same thing they were doing the first two years of the war, taking empty fields, saying they "took the positions from Russia" and then losing thousands of men in the aftermath

Lol well tbh that is really what anarchism has been in the west for a long time

Allegedly the people arrested have no relationship and this is just targeting of random people

That's pretty cheap for a BBL

If it is living miso with probiotics it would need to be refrigerated, all those miso brands say it need to be refrigerated.

If it is shelf stable it does not have any living probiotics and is just for flavor

Any miso I've bought has come out of the refrigerated section of the store. Those instructions might just be because many people want miso for the flavor and the potential probiotics aren't really a factor in motivating their use. In Asia, a lot of fermented vegetables are cooked which obviously kills the probiotics but this is another example that sometimes we do things just for the flavor

An organization needs to account for this within its structure. Having recruitment goals and a clear onboarding and political education program allows you to choose strategies that support scaling up. There needs to be an even distribution of reproductive labor within the organization to prevent certain members bearing the brunt of the labor in unsustainable ways, and also new people coming in and being delegated tasks to free up more senior organizers to have a more manageable workload.

The reality is that until you are collecting dues and or fundraising to pay a couple of people to be full time professional organizers, it is really challenging to navigate and avoid burn out. The only way to mitigate it is a balance of choosing projects that are not beyond your organizing capacity while prioritizing recruitment and onboarding and political education.
