Maybe not that interesting for everyone here, but I found no better community for this.

    Well, if the societal structure falls there won’t be anything left to provide for your friends and family and you’ll be left to eat each other in your compound as will the billionaires using their fortunes to build survival bunkers. If that’s the way you wanna go, with the leg of your mother as dinner, be my guest. If you, on the other hand, want to have a positive impact on the whole process helping stop this social decline there are much better ways to use your hypothetical money. It’s up to you to decide, greed over cooperation or the other way around?

      my family and I grow most of our food, and we’re part of the local community garden where the small town we live in also grows food that is shared with everyone.

      so out of the two of us, I’m pretty sure it’ll be you who is starving.

        And prayvtell, where do you find your seedlings and your fertilizer? And the tools to be used to work the fields? That’s the problem of people like you, you can’t see how intertwined it is our life with the rest of the world and you don’t know how much it sucks to be living at a subsistence level. But go off with your fantasy, it does cost anything to dream.

        Also, I forgot to ask how would you fare in a draught, a hailstorm or a long winter. But these are impossible conditions in your dreamworld I reckon

          well we use the stuff we grow for seeds, we don’t buy into the capitalist propaganda that you can’t replant things because It’S iLlEgAl. and compost is free and easy to make. also, I’m planning on getting chickens for fertilizer as well, once I build the infrastructure for them. they are great for dealing with insect pests too!

          And the tools to be used to work the fields?

          my next-door neighbor is a 40-year old dude that took up blacksmithing after he watched one too many YT videos. he made me a knife for last christmas out of a rusty steel cable.

          Also, I forgot to ask how would you fare in a draught, a hailstorm or a long winter

          I live in the midwest, we deal with those all the time.

          a better world is possible, and it’s not a dream. get up off your ass and make it with your friends. don’t let legality or naysayers tell you something is impossible, that’s capitalist propaganda meant to keep you down.

            Yes of course, a utopia is waiting for those who are able to grow a crop using a field inside of an apartment.

            Dude, you’re projecting a reality which could be applied to a very narrow set of people in modern society and in the western world. Imagining a better future is possible and good, but we need to keep it aligned with the actual realities present at this time. Being a bad crop away from death and surviving in a close anarchist encampment can work in a movie like 38 years later, not in real life

              it worked for humanity for thousands of years, you pessimistic doomer. you’re going to be a wage slave forever, and die unhappy, because you’re obviously too afraid to even consider that life could be at all different to the way it is now. you’ve got Stockholm syndrome for the system that’s going to murder you.
