"Many people think going local is buying 5 acres, building a house & growing a garden. That can be part of it, but if you don’t know your neighbors, share your produce, drive the neighbor kids to school & all the mundane tasks of belonging, you are not, yet, going local in any useful sense."

As long as our community is at the "mercy" of big business, we can't survive, much less thrive. We must stop the rape & pillage of our labor & resources. We must bypass their system.

"We must find ways to work together where we can, in our cities & states, communities & bio-regions, to build the kind of future we want. Otherwise we are at the mercy of forces that will overwhelm us."

A long rambly article that starts with the environment and ends with politics and oligarchs...but I wanted to share this part, which I think is the most important part.

https://dendroica.substack.com/p/the-stories-we-tell

The "market" is not some magic thing that came to us from the void. We make it ourselves, every day. And if the greedy will not voluntarily stop victimizing people, then local and state laws must step in to limit them.

Nobody "deserves" to victimize others.

We all have some decisions to make.

"Each of us has agency to reinforce one of these pathways — status quo, regressive, or pro-social/pro-nature — in our own lives and communities. But perhaps as important as the question of what we do to respond to this political moment and the larger Great Unraveling is the question of how we comport ourselves."

Communities must understand that their state and federal legislators are not going to take resilience seriously until it's actually too late, and way more expensive, to take steps needed to secure food, water, and resources for the local people.

We must take matters into our own hands.

"Winter Solstice is always a time of new birth & new beginnings. In the darkest time of year, a new light is born. Our work is to nurture it throughout the next year. But now more than ever, we’re all called on to make sure that light burns brightly within each of us. For we are the light of the world. We are the ones who will hold the darkness of humanity’s worst selves at bay."

Relocalization is now the key both to sustainable town and saving democracy.

Thirteen stories of how neighborhood people created a transforming experience

"...Americans became consumers rather than citizens. As the result of this transfer of functions, Americans lost much of the power to be a citizen-centered society."

"One of Strong Towns’ goals is to increase transparency in the ways that towns & cities share information about the state of their finances. Most municipal govts do a truly terrible job of communicating this information in a way that is clear & understandable to a lay audience."

Buy from local small businesses, artisans, crafters, bakers and chefs. Give gift certificates for local attractions, museums, galleries, service companies, and artists. Make or bake something yourself.

Give to a nonprofit in their name.

But don't give money to Wall St Robber Barrons who are going to turn around and use it against you.

That's stupid.

Relational Reverence
Or, what am I actually doing with my life?

"Our ancestors appreciated the arrival of markets and supermarkets and mail-order catalogs that offered convenience and choice and low prices, theoretically freeing up time and energy and money for creative pursuits..."

Well, that was theory A. We lost a lot more than we gained.

Why Wall Street does not care if you are killed or oppressed by a christo-fascist theocratic government - they're going to make way more money either way.

Class, our only real means of fighting back is to NOT give money to our enemies. They do not give a rats rear end about petitions or marches, I assure you. They only care about their bottom line.

Past generations had it right - other than industrial uses, everything should be walkable.

We need to return to an older, more sustainable model - where the professional or artisan has their office(s) / shop on the first floor of their beautiful arts & crafts or Victorian style building, and the family lives upstairs.

Relocalization is the future. #HOAs & residential segregation are dinosaurs.
