It is well past time to rein in the psychopaths who run our governments, starting at the local level.

You know that you live in Hell when even your own wife is a Communist.

Tyranny didn't work out too well for the USSR, Nazi Germany, and Cambodia so why are Americans embracing it?

The elites are not going to kill off just the men. The globalists are going to kill off the 99%.

The very same Americans who scream that they love freedom then turn around and say the US should have national ID cards.

No one hates free speech more than Americans do.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica @MountainJay @prisondoc @Zardoz @freepatriot I started this Localism as a personal First Principle years ago. An Area Study is a great framework to start with. And it will include things that would not show up on a typical personal assessment.
If Our Guys went out of their way to simply get to know who their White neighbors are, and be on speaking terms / first name basis, they will already be way ahead of the curve.

The Modern World works hard to keep us in isolation.

@MountainJay @prisondoc @Zardoz @freepatriot Learning about Localism is really only a little bit of abstract theory, and a lot of learning practically about how to live meaningfully and productively with your literal neighbors in your specific geographical area. Putting down roots, getting involved in the community, and becoming indispensible - that sort of thing.

Sometimes what gets missed is the ability to discern and resist outside threats - like datacenters or other NIMBYs. But those are again rather particular to your own near region.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica — as I slowly, awkwardly develop an Orthodox Christian phronema (worldview/mindset), I’m reevaluating my political beliefs. Was raised conservative Mormon, rebelled into post-9/11 progressivism, fled woke ideology, was drawn to voluntaryism, and then “culture is upstream of politics” played a part in planting myself in the Orthodox church. Now I’m re-exploring ideas like autocephaly and monarchy, and would like to learn more about localism.

@MountainJay @prisondoc @Zardoz @freepatriot I’m still very much a Traditional Monarchist - but that’s what my sense of Localism is based on; or maybe more accurately they’re based on each other. A wise king has much to gain and little to lose from many strong healthy Localist settlement/cities.

Libertarians must be obsessed about liberty now.

Talk to people everywhere. Pass out flyers. Print out business cards. Make a website. Start a newspaper. Rent a billboard. Make songs and movies about freedom.

You might be the last one defending freedom, but you must live with your conscience.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica — seems I’m on the right track then, having dove into those practical aspects for several years now. Parish life is especially grounding in that regard. The prolific breeding of our Muscovy ducks has helped, too. 🤣

Unfortunately, as you say, resistance to incursions like data centers and flocking seem to be pretty weak, even in this conservative, rural area with a surprising number of “don’t tread on me”-type flags and bumper stickers.
