It's nature way, it solves most social issues-CAN WE MAKE IT WORK?

I have heard for the umpteenth time about some poor little girl (2 1/2) killed by a drug addict boyfriend & I have had my heart pulled out once again when I hear it. When we are all segmented & separated AS THEY WANT US! we stand alone against the world's ill's & temptations.

I'm god damed tired of this shit. We all know that poverty and other issues are root causes. It's all for a lack of social responsibility. It does take a village(sorry!). It does take people who care & nurture for the common good. Self sustenance & specialized skills would be utilized for trade & monetary consumption.
This allows us to survive with (or without) our neighboring tribes & allows a fair market value(this is important) for any given service. This would increase parity for the work done.

If people were connected in a tribal fashion such social behavior issues would be caught early & preferably after a few generations not generated at all. Why? Because tribal living is the way we are DESIGNED to live & we have been misled into our current lifestyle.


Great idea you say but it'll never work-People won't give up their toys & independence.
Well-Here is your incentive....

At this point we are basically screwed(flood-famine-you name it) on a global scale.

These links are worth many threads but my key point here is we need to react in a fashion that gives you & your loved ones the highest chance of survival. That is also tribal living.

From what I've heard & read the breaking point for a "tribe" is about 120 people. After that there is too much internal strife & rivalry.
As in any community there will be problems but I'm telling you,it would be best to consider this. I believe it may be our best option for survival in the "new" America.

Personally I think I'll do Ok. I can weld,fix cars & have even done Vet work so if anyone needs stitches come on by...

1. Well

when the day comes that we must revert to tribal society, the progressives will do just fine, whereas the conservatives will be so distraught at their situation that they'll probably take their own life from dispair.

I won't miss them a bit, I'd gladly enter a tribe with all of you wonderful people!

2. That'll be right on our migration route...
