I'm ready to move to a commune. But like.... not a hippie Luddite commune that shirks all technology. Just one that isn't fucking insane about the tech in their lives. basically one that rewinds a bit back towards maybe the early to mid 2000s. Where we had a of the tech in a still mostly uncorrupted form.
Its like "the village" for people who are utterly exhausted by corporate greed. Someone get M. Night Shammalamma or whatever on the phone.
I work in tech, and literally have had this conversation multiple times with my other friends that work in tech. We are all completely exhausted.
If you and your friends agree that you want to be part of a commune... Well, there you go! Go and found one!
An interesting, to me, aside: The luddites were not, as is commonly taught, anti-technology. They were protesting against the consolidation of money/power that technology was making possible. We don't want to teach class warfare though.
Huh. I guess I'm a Luddite.
I'm actively looking for people who would be interested in building a Gay Furry Commune in Massachusetts.
With pooled assets, we can actually AFFORD to buy some land AND build on it.
