(459 posts)Not on an island but in different communities all across the nation. Basically it would be individuals/families going more sustainable living/off the grid, while getting help from and helping others that are doing the same. Basically producing our own food, clean water, natural building, energy, heating, refrigeration/storage, etc. in a consumers revolt the helps the environment and takes back control against corporate power. It would be different from the religious communes because people of all religions (or none), races, genders, orientations, ages, etc. would be allowed to join in, the only requirements is that everyone respects the rights of each other and the environment. There will be none of the whacko brainwashing far right religion crap and 80 people won't be living together in one house LOL.
It is untelling how big of a disaster Trump is going to unleash on our economy, military (MANY wars are coming, get ready), and how people will be allowed to treat each other when it comes to protections for women/minorities/LGBTQ. I really think that we need to start preparing for the worst and having a plan in place as a progressive community on how to rally together not just in protests/marches, but in life and our survival in general. Progressives everywhere at the very least need to begin downloading PDFs/videos and learning science, learning sustainable agriculture techniques, learning how to build things from Earth materials, learning how solar and wind energy work, learning ways of obtaining and purifying our own water, learning different ways to produce energy and heat, learning alternative ways of refrigeration and cellar storage, and learning how to get by with less.
I'm hoping for the best, I really am, but I just think that there are going to be many scary days ahead and we must be prepared.
