no, the idea im trying to advance here is that of intentional communities as @jacob would like to see, created and managed independently, but following common established practiced and principles, sort of like a franchise.classical_Liberal wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 2:52 pm@alphaville
Yes the third option is trying to create either a closer and more tightly knit community of highly prepared folks, or to try to get a localized existing community to become more prepared.
it’s not just about “preparation” really though, is it? i mean there are prepper communities you could join already. some require you bing your AR and know how to reload ammo.
ere is its own thing. i envision ere communities as something that from the outside might look something like mennonite colonies (minus the uniform & other accoutrements) and organized around philosophical rather than religious principles, and also spread out all over the planet (i think there are mennonites in 82 countries).
i put up that wikipedia list of intentional communities because there are many references to things that actually exist and can be learned from.
