But they all know each other

not like it was when I lived in the city

Middle of nowhere like Courage the Cowardly Dog?

back to what we were talking about

We just moved to a new neighborhood and we are going to my mom's church mostly just to get connected to some more local people.

Like, my name is Chance, and I am homeward bound

when they come for the kulaks this time, we are not going to have a chance

One of my neighbors seems friendly, the other side not so much...

Because no cohesion?

@Deleted User you'll have this Chance

soviet dogs drool, cats rule

Woah woah.

Dogs > Cats

Yes obvs

my maths are a bit off

organized groups of urban ideologues going out to quell the countyside

Sorry.

QuikMafz

rurals dont even know their neighbors

no chance

I know my rural neighbors

well, their potatoes i steal

You steal their autistic children?

I wish I could convince everyone I know and like to go start a village with me.

Sigh

the lack of civil institutions is what allows dictators to rule

civil institutions create community bonds

That's what my best friend group intends to do in the future. Buy out land, design house and property, gun range, small farm and garden, bunker, etc.

I'm coming around to lack of religion being a big part of that.

yup

@uncephalized they can access the offender registry

No, you're *in* it.
