This is why my advice to everyone who is like "But what should I actually DO!' is "get to know your neighbors." Community together strong
get to know your neighbors AND learn how to trust and be trusted.
My strategy is to just dump my nuts on the table and tell you my whole deal, with many death to Americas sprinkled throughout, and if you don't find me trustworthy or are mean to me then well f you i'll go rant at someone else
I know my neighbors.
your reply says a lot more about you than it does about your neighbors
👍
Oh I see you don't spend time on NextDoor.
The internet caused us to forgo our tight communities in exchange for being acquaintances with millions of people.
it was not the internet that did that
I'd say the internet is also a well defining feature of the neoliberal era, certainly not the sole blame for the destruction of communities but definitely a tool (probably unintentionally) in the belt.
This right here. The problems of an inherently individualist society. Or another way of putting it...
Fuck you, you got yours lol
