Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

this is genuinely my plan. Work in trades to pick up a skill (and hopefully make a decent bit of coin) buy some land, and build it out. Spend as little as possible, and enjoy it as much as possible.

I feel like it's viable. Maybe i'm hopeful, idk. We'll see.

I don't want to criticize that, it soubds pretty nice, but that's nowhere near as radical as I was thinking.

Plus, remember; there is no outside, walled gardens do not endure, thermodynamics apply, and you cannot lifeboat the coming catastrophes.

it's certainly not radical, i agree with that. Personally i just don't really care about others. So it's not like it would really bother me one way or the other.

I do have foundational beliefs on a lot of this shit, but if i don't have to think about it, then i won't, and i see no other reason others couldn't follow in suit.

reason others couldn't follow suit

It can look like there's an outside, but that's a lie our masters tell, so people who're fed up walk away instead of fighting back, violently or otherwise.

i don't consider it outside, i consider it to be the corner of a large room with a lot of people in it. But that corner just so happens to have very few people in it.

Til it doesn't. Good luck, I guess. Could stand your help to really fix shit though.

i'll be around, it's not that i won't, it just depends on how important it is to me really. If we're talking fundamental individual freedoms, i'll be there.
