Doesn’t all of it originate with a prompt?
P.S. Through some balance of time zones and sleep schedule, we seem to be on at exactly the opposite times.
Are you my Tyler Durden?
That depends, are you open to making rich people into soap?
I’m more in the camp of simple communal independence, but I guess historically that attracts the attention of rich people in need of saponification.
Close enough, lets form a secret organization around planting edible anual-crops/bushes/trees on disused public land so anyone can harvest them.
Idk last time we tried that, Parliament criminalized it and beat the shit out of us.

I’m imagining self sufficient (solar) stealthy mobile AI turrets that take out anyone brandishing a firearm while evading detection or capture.
Or maybe a nanodrone swarm that sabotages firearms.
Generally make it not worth the cost of enforcement.
I guess hiding the crops might work too… subterranean gardens and mirrors redirecting sunlight?
Really I’ve been thinking that connecting the communes with good communication and logistics might be the real silver bullet. Maybe they could form from scattered members who develop their own systems after being connected and thereby become too difficult to disrupt as a whole.
