Imagine a world full of millions of beautiful cultures existing in parallel, in which everyone is governed as they would like to be. There is no one right answer to the question, "How should we live?" Let us recognize that fact, dispense with the conflict, and allow groups to go their own separate ways.

Of course, the Holy Roman Empire is not something one wants to emulate to a T, however, the fact that the Holy Roman Empire could be decentralized all the while enduring is an indisputable evidence that we don't need to bow before centralized authority to be safe.

Does your small town have its own Discord server?
A lot of large cities have their own Discord servers, but my friend has been wondering how many small towns and villages have them, or if maybe there are larger units like local counties that have them and have a channel for each town. She has her own Discord server where I'm a mod, and we were talking about the idea of establishing a geoconnection with it by adding a plethora of people from the local area. She therefore has been wondering if it would be easier if the villages in question have their own servers, since we could just have our server and the village server co-sponsor each other. The other way of doing it would be to go to some community wall or bulletin board and advertise the server, though that's not as effective as it might sound.

Should localism embrace autarky or interconnected specialisation?
Should local communities strife to be self sufficient in everything or should they specialise and trade with those around them for what they don't't produce themselves?

Leopold Kohr - breakdown of nations & Ernst Schumacher - Small is beautiful
Did anyone here read one of these books: Leopold Kohr - breakdown of nations & Ernst Schumacher - Small is beautiful
I watched a documentary about Leopold Kohr on YouTube last year and really liked most of his ideas. And since I’m just ordering some books, i wanted to know if someone here did read one of the books and what’s your opinion on it.

The fourth of July (Independence Day for the United States of America) being yesterday has got me thinking, does anyone else reading this celebrate the founding date or incorporation date of their home town or home city or its state or province if they live in a country that has states or provinces?
