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
That's not a bad thing though. You can have other communities overlap.
It could snowball very very quickly to a MUCH larger number
and 150 people feels like a lot more
agreed
True and it likely will.
However, 150 people is about as much as you can reasonably keep up with.
that's why the schoolhouse is the best approach.

agreed
Again, strength in numbers. Low bar to entry. But meaningful and lasting impact
agreed
most intelligent thing that I've seen in a while
Don't mean to lecture, I just haven't been able to flesh out these ideas until now. New to IE
Thanks! I really appreciate it. Just had my thinking cap on for awhile.

@Mick I came to a similar conclusion about a week ago. However, I didn't think about the schoolhouse thing.
Yeah. Spent some time living in a very back-to-the-land, homesteadified area in the midwest for a couple years. Started with some farm work and then stayed. It's a common theme, but I experienced a from of hyper white flight. Liberal urbanites fled the city and build small homesteads, small businesses, etc. in a small, low-cost living town. They also poz it up. More and more so over time. I got red-pilled there, but wanted some variation of that lifestyle.
Eventually, as my desire for family and community developed, and then my awareness of how my kids would then be therefore taught and raised I started to think how I can achieve some balance.
Schools. These white-flighter anti-racists often enroll or start up Waldorf schools. I figured, traditionalists should do just that.
This area had some money and support from Big Organic in terms of jobs and creating an environment. But the area has grown wuickly since the 90's and seems to quickly asserting itself over the local normie republican population.
Won't reveal the exact location to avoid doxxing but maybe in the future I will. Seems relatively safe to do so here
Well guys I know I didn’t interact much (doing school while I listened), but thanks for the discussion. I love our community and enjoy watching it grow.
Lol just noticed voice doesn’t seem to be chatting here, gonna repost in relevant chat if I can find it 😃
