In my mind I almost think we need to go on a general strike and become homeless together. Homeless in a sense that we migrate to a location where we can get sensible people together in a location.

Then we can rebel against the for profit system by protecting each other with weapons, food, community.

Go back to a system that protects nature, people, and land.

But I’m curious what everyone else thinks. I know congregating in one location would make us vulnerable to domestic terrorism from our government. But in all honesty who wants to live in an oppressive regime anyway?

    “Rebel” bwhahaha. Lemme guess, you just turned 14?

    You need to read some history, like “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire” and Machiavelli.

    Go build your own socialist/communist compound - you can do that in the US (generally, unless you piss off Hillary). Because no one’s ever thought of any of this before. (Yes, that’s sarcasm).

    You’re also espousing ideas that would require a lot more of the population to get onboard with. And while life may not be “perfect”, I’ll be damned if I’m giving up any of what I do have for your pie-in-the-sky idealism.

    Humanity has been on this path for thousands of years - go read the Code of Hammurabi to see exactly how little is different today from 7000 years ago.

    It sounds to me like you’ve never worked on any large project - of you had, you’d know there are a million things that can’t be predicted, and that’s with much smaller agendas.

      Hey, hey, hey… Hamurabi at least allowed you to use the body of any burglar to seal up the hole they made in your mud hut! 😉
