Whites acted on a familial level just a few decades ago.

You think so? I've heard quite different. That we are individualistic BECAUSE of the Ice Age. That men could only provide for about one wife and their own children, so they tended toward isolation

However, individualism is in our blood.

@Myndrian I tend to agree.

Ya whatever I've learned I tend to borrow from Kevin Macdonald

We are individuals but we have strong familial ties.

Yes, but not near as collectivist and herdthink as other cultures in my opinion

That's the greatest "collectivism" that we can have: family.

@Myndrian Herdthink cultures are big ghey.

Groupthink gets you killed in an advanced society. It's dangerous.

Individualism is just a diluted form of heroic virtue.

stripped only to its most intuitive and noncomplex components.

I totally agree. Most of my life has been doing the opposite or learning that the cookiecutter mold brings a lot of damage to individuals

You don't want as cookiecutter mold.

That's a bad idea for a society. It brings everyone down to the least common denominator.

organization needs to be institutional and on a family level

I think that individualism is why whites make such great institutions.

We have to.

I agree too. I dont know a lot about it. But from what little I know, if we are the most individualistic people when it comes to scientific revolutions we have many more pathfinders and inventors because they tend to know how to reject common knowledge when needed

But alas when in group competition we falter for a time

Yes. However, until recently, we had good sportsmanship.

That competition worked for us.

We don't have to become minorities in mindset to survive.

We just have to create institutions that will shield us.

We're individualistic but not so much at the expense of others. We take pride in lifting one another up and seeing them do their best. The two, individual and collective, have gone hand-in-hand in our culture.

That's my though wrt to institutions. My idea is enough folks willing to contribute time, money, sweat to teaching the next generation. This broad idea is very important to get behind. Teaching and sharing knowledge and values with our kids and literally building physical structures.

A 'schoolhouse' idea can be implemented in rural, suburban and even urban environments.

I agree.

A weightroom/gym is also a great way to get together. The idea is land, space. Shit, you can build a little spot and fill it with weights and that's how you could start.

IE weightroom ftw

Pipedream=commune/wn community. It's what I want but how many people can you reliably get committed to that?

Well. Look at history.

There are tightly knit communities.

You can build a schoolhouse and still be engaged in today's society. Still work your desk job. Etc...

You can have as large of a community as you can keep up with.

If you can great. It's definitely doable. I'm aiming for a bigger tent.

But the schoolhouse could be a gateway to an intentional community. Ideally, I'd want to get enough acreage to allow for all sorts of expansion. More structures, growing of food, cattle, even housing; see, my hearts in a community. I want the initial bar to entry to be lower, though. Schoolhouse seems to fit that bill for me.

Indeed.

However, do keep in mind that such a community is restricted to about 150 people.

Even if its not your kids, presently or if you presently have none, you can contribute

by human nature, that's about the max that we can keep up with
