    What this person is proposing is functionally similar to forms of anarchism and anarchist theory has some answers to these kinds of questions.

    For example the communes could have a federation where representatives are sent to settle disputes. Likewise instead of a fixed 2000 people with walls between you could have people in several smaller overlapping communities which act as bridges across a network of communities. Similar to how a person can be a family member and a company employee and a resident of an apartment building etc.

    Though I don’t completely buy in to everything it says, https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works goes into how anarchist communities can and have worked




  • I hear you, it’s been a brutal millennium so far and things look like they’ll get worse before they get better.

    We’re all powerless alone, and I don’t see us being able to stop the worst of what’s to come, but there’s pressure building against Israel, against capitalism, against conservatism, against the status quo.

    It’s going to be a rough ride but we need to stubbornly exist and be present and visible so that the pressure keeps building.

    If I had kids I’d rather have drag queens reading to them than to have them exposed to your toxic worldview.

    You want to live your life in a tiny little box? Go ahead, but you don’t get to tell anyone else how to live.

    Conservatives sure love freedom except when anyone does anything they don’t like. Nobody cares what you think and you’re a dying breed, which makes me grateful
