"who wants a girl compound?" *hands all go up*

"who wants to put in the years of consistent hard work, planning, and organizing to build alternative infrastructures to acquire capital and build girl power? *hands all go back down*

@nyx I would still have my hands up :( I’d drop everything to learn how to live a rural lifestyle in some compound

@OneRatOneVerySmallTrenchCoat there's a lot of steps along the way towards getting the compound 🥀

@nyx Real most unfortunately

@nyx Who wants to virtue signal? *~all hands go up*

Who wants to put the work to change the world around them? *~all hands go down*

(Every single fucking time)

@nyx *keeps my hand up*

@nyx but yeah real

@nyx my hand is still up it's just I'm still in the long haul of setting up my end and my results of this won't be obvious for another 6-7 years but I will be super helpful someday :3

@nyx yeah but >_< if you don’t start somewhere you don’t start at all

@nyx like I’ve been going out of my way despite being an unemployed wretch to try to learn skills!! I’ve been reading about natural medicine mostly because I think that that’s the most important thing in the absence of a state … like being able to find things to replace modern medicine and amenities that we so heavily rely on

@OneRatOneVerySmallTrenchCoat I'm being sorta doomery because I've been on this shit for like a decade and had this conversation many times over, but there's been no real progress, and tbf I'm part of the problem because I've spent years of my life getting very little done even with the rather low stakes and zero cost task of writing things. everyone has in general been having a hard time since like 2020 though, and I tend to be ahead of the curve on a lot of things so my hope is that there will soon be a girl renaissance of girls getting militant and organized

@nyx fedi user moth built a compound but she later killed herself xP

@georgia wait what

@nyx I dont know much of the lore but she was the girlfriend of one of the members of the fedi fertility cult that p is in now. I'm pretty clueless about the details but she talked a bit about her compound and then disappeared.

@georgia >fedi fertility cult that p is in now
what

@nyx theyre secretive about it I only know from DMs

@nyx id raise my hand, ideally someone has to do it.

@hjh @nyx lol 6 7

@salt @nyx

@salt @nyx

@salt @hjh @nyx

@georgia @nyx dmsc folks they had an irc somewhere.
also m0th got cancer but i couldnt tell half the time what the fuck their deal is.

@georgia @nyx also rip

@georgia @nyx dsmc*

@georgia @nyx talking about cults i think hidden got her tianmu thing which seems to going on well given she got married recently

@nyx i do! tho' i'm not sure how good at it i could be

@nyx
I burn out every time I try because it inevitably becomes just me building on shit and then I get to the point where I actually cannot move forward without help and suddenly everyone is confused about what's supposed to happen. Which has had the knock on effect of making me more and more unreliable because it takes less and less time for me to doom spiral into "why even try I'm just gonna get let down again". most of which is true but I'll admit I've dropped the ball a number of times at this point because I killed my own spirit before I had reason to.

@ripperdoll I kinda feel like there are considerable logistical issues either way these days with the strategies that have been presented before. you can kinda do the "get some girls together and acquire cheap property" model when we're not living through the collapse of the empire, a silent depression, and transmisogynistic hysteria all at the same time. but these days I feel like the only options are either far more militant and direct actiony like squatting, or doing something like what the Telekommunist Manifesto lays out (which if you haven't read I highly recommend)

@nyx @ripperdoll whats wrong with a littlw violence

@demha @ripperdoll nothing wrong at all

@nyx I will read it. I've just been trying to acquire skills and tools that i think will be necessary for when material conditions end up requiring that kind of organizational response in the interim (sewing, radio, medical equipment, farming, etc etc). It's part of but not the sole reason I'm working towards becoming a doctor. Since I'd be necessary in any scenario. What I honest to god really need is a fucking patron to just give me money to work on all my projects because I just end up incrementally getting closer and then switching gears because of work, school, etc etc. I could get so much done with a small mountain of amphetamines locked in a room and a matronly figure giving me gentle words of encouragement

@ripperdoll I'm going to continue to be a useless computer-toucher/book-reader :^) but I have been sort of working to build a network of people at least on a personal basis that have practical skills I don't have because (and this is sort of adjacent to what TM talks about) I think in the near future it will start to become a lot more viable and necessary to do real mutual aid in the form of a peer-to-peer economy where we use our labor for the collective good without selling it for a wage, because as we all know from reading Marx, our labor is worth far more than the wages we're paid and this is why the "charity with a coat of red paint" model of mutual aid is stupid and doesn't work.

I just think that this sorta thing should be more formally organized. we're already in the early stages of an informal barter economy forming (which tends to happen when empires collapse lmao) and that's opportunity that can be captured to build the venture commune.

@nyx @ripperdoll i love chopping wood for my friends and helping build a shed bc i care about them and they need hands!!!

@nyx @ripperdoll ngl rthis post reminds me of the RAND corp post about the incoming neo medievalism of global civ within the following few centuries.
fascinating stuff

@demha @ripperdoll that's pretty much the type of shit I've been on for awhile now lol I didn't know they had also picked up on this
