I grew up in the time of Monty Python. I usually perk up when I hear a catch phrase.
The phrase "autonomous collective" was used to describe the group who trained the two "female" ICE taunters. (third bullet point from the top).
Monty Python also used it. We are watching a movie.
Why, hello, UncleFester! Don't see much of you unless it's the Sunday Funnies.
I'm warming up my light bulbs.

We're an anarcho-syndicalist collective!
The only real decentralized ‘Autonomous Groups’ that are actually viable are the meme groups that burn themselves out after a few months and the jokes stop being funny.
Like the Garden Gnome liberation Front or something similarly inane.
If the group has any sort of staying power. It most certainly has got a hierarchy and a definitive leader structure despite any rhetoric to the contrary. If it is anyway political. Or focused on a niche special interest. Then it most likely has financial backers who are the real brains behind it.
For some reason I heard this with an English accent in my head while reading it, lol, Thanks Monty P ....... lol!!
Bingo! We are watching a movie.
