MASS NONCOMPLIANCE with totalitarian edicts per Étienne de La Boétie’s 1552 work “The Politics of Obedience”:

“You can deliver yourselves if you try, not by taking action, but merely by willing to be free. Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break into pieces.”

Welcome to the team! Couple formatting questions. How do you create a block indented on left and right with text and images like you did here? I also don't know how to center things like you did in the second block. Also, It would be nice to have text wrap around an image, or to have a bulleted or numbered list formatted with smaller text and less space between lines. These are formatting questions, so not about writing per se, but also didn't know where to go to ask. Thanks!

It did give a few tips that could one day prove useful, but didn't answer the questions I posed here. Thanks.
