Hi niko - l was typing you a reply just now & poof....it disappeared. Oh well. Just wanted to say no apology needed. We all understand our online activity gets sporadic at times. Real life must come first! I did enjoy this topic on Ray's SS & l really got a lot out of it.
And l agree with you about the very human "wish" for communing & trying to survive with other like-minded people. But l also agree with your assessment that it almost never works out in the long run.
The future is going to be interesting. And intensely challenging. But l still have hope. Be well.
Errrr....Ray, forgive me....l am quite "technologically" challenged. Don't own a computer. Only access SubStack via my stupid cellphone. Do l contact these other people on their Substack account (if they have one?). Hopefully they will jump back in this evening. Or l think if l "reply" to their comments here it pops up in their email?
Ray: How about - PRACTICAL SURVIVAL STRATEGIES OVER the NEXT 5 YEARS? 10 YEARS? IN YOU LOCAL COMMUNITY....
It's hard for me to find the right "title" suggestion for you for a discussion topic. The above capitalized sentence is my effort to simplify what myself, niko, David & John said earlier. If l've overstepped my boundaries by not understanding what they are submitting then l apologize.
I just know l am tired of reading about "it all" & would appreciate input from those smarter than myself regarding the most practical path forward in real life.
Perhaps l am asking for something that's impossible. I will keep plugging along in my own little spot in the world & keep growing my garden. I'm not looking for reassurance. I would just like to continue learning other's ideas as l'm sure there are folks who have thought of practical things that can be done as we move forward into a dystopian future. "Things" that l haven't even contemplated yet.
Maybe l will begin researching "VILLAGE LIFE IN MEDIEVAL TIMES". I'm dead serious!
As a retired Registered Nurse l have been stock-piling wound care supplies & learning as much as l can about how to prepare homeopathic medications from indigenous plants in my locale. If l can help just one person with my knowledge then l will be happy with that!
But whatever topic you discuss next...l am eagerly looking forward to it! Thanks!
I think the most affected cities become like Detroit. Real estate values drop to literal zero. Economic activity plummets and rows of houses become vacant as survivors move away.
The cities that are less affected become new economic centers. Significant die-off happens here as well, but real estate values are sustained by newcomers from cities that died off.
The main wildcard is immigration. If we no longer have people to populate a place like Los Angeles, for example - do we bulldoze it, or do we sell empty houses to the Chinese?
This is assuming the globalists fail. If the globalists succeed, we know what their plans are - concentrate survivors in a few megacities and eradicate all humans from elsewhere.
My interest is in understanding the GENOME story. How is it that they can find human DNA on a mouth swab and sequence it, but they can't sequence a full intact virus particle from the same mouth swab, they have to 'culture' it first?
I just jumped back in to see if there were more thoughts from folks & noticed David agrees also with possibly finding practical local actions in real-life that we could take (& l was impressed, David, with your initial thought re: POSITIVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES)!
But ever since l was "red-pilled" on what's actually happening in the world l've been so frustrated that no one seems to have any answers on what to do to STOP IT! It's not just the scamdemic & the poison jabs. It's so much more....EMF radiation, chemtrails, the corruption in government, the school system, public health, the LGBT+++ insanity & gosh...a bunch more things!!!
Yes, there are many organizations working hard to bring about change. But media censorship is sadly thwarting their effectiveness. They are preaching to the choir & the info is NOT getting out to the uniformed (& the idiots!).
I've finally accepted in my intellect & my psyche that a huge culling of mankind is going to occur. We just don't know for sure how long its going to take.. Okay. I accept it's going to happen no matter how heartbreaking.
And I also firmly believe this is a spiritual battle. And no one needs to agree with me. We can still try to take action to stop some of the carnage.
But we have to find some way to come together in scattered small local groups to maintain civilization for the future...for our kids & grandkids.
I keep fantasizing about making a short fact sheet & making a thousand copies & sticking a copy in neighborhood mailboxes! Maybe even taping them up on storefront windows! Yes, they will get ripped down & discarded but hopefully not before at least ONE person sees it!
I just don't know where & how to start to educate others. Three of my four adult children have received the poison jabs. I celebrate the one that remains a pure-blood with me & mourn the others. They just wouldn't listen.
But being "action-oriented " l am praying l can do some small thing to educate others in my circle of influence. OK, l will hush for now & wait to see what others may bring up.
Ahhh, l see John Botica is thinking along similar lines! Lol.
Hi John - Ray wants 2 or more readers to agree on an actual "specific title" for an upcoming article. About 4 hours ago (see my latest comment) l proposed "PRACTICAL SURVIVAL STRATEGIES OVER the NEXT 5 YEARS? 10 YEARS? IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY ". Please let Ray know if you're agreeable. If not, l am more than happy to go with your article title of HOW DO WE BRING AN END TO THIS SELF-PROPELLED MADNESS? Thanks!
I'm sure, the second topic would also interest quite a few people. Many people don't dare to comment or even "Like," because they are afraid of the consequences. They don't seem to understand that silence would not extend their lifespan, only the length of their slavery...
It seems like there are a couple of people interested in this, although they haven't officially agreed on the name of the topic. Can you, please, discuss it with them so that I can start up the topic for everyone, who is interested?
Hi David - Ray wants 2 or more of his readers to agree on the exact "title" for an upcoming article. In an effort to simplify on what a few of seem to be saying l condensed the title to: PRACTICAL SURVIVAL STRATEGIES OVER NEXT 5 YEARS? 10 YEARS? IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES (See my most recent comment about 4 hours ago).
If you are agreeable with that could you let Ray know? Thanks!
ACTION IN THE PLANDEMIC PROCESS (SPECIFICALLY HOW SMALL & THEN GROWING #'S OF PEOPLE CAN COME TOGETHER TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES).
So, l concur with niko to request thoughts/ideas/plans on what we can do as small local groups of individuals. How can we find other like-minded people in our local communities to combat the destruction of mankind?
Catherine Austin Fitts says the only way to survive is on the local level. But how? How to get the word out to bring neighbors together?
Yes, l trade my garden surplus with my neighbor for their fresh eggs....but as a retired lady my circle of contacts is limited. As is my finances...
Does anyone know if any kind of "master list" is out there of fledgling local community groups in the United States? Surely there must be by now....
As niko went on to say: THEORY TRANSLATED INTO STRATEGIC PRACTICE FOR LONG TERM GOALS TO BATTLE THE GREAT RESET, ETC. And my words: ln real life in our individual local communities/neighborhoods.
Btw, like most press from CHD, it makes reference to "climate shocks" in support of the CO2-driven climate change narrative, which goes back to some of the broader agenda of global coup you mentioned, as by manufacturing another state-of-emergency state of siege from this pseudoscience (global warming is hot air). I mention this because you mentioned chem trails in particular, and I live in an area where the USAF crisscrosses the sky routinely. And who knows or cares what's falling out upon those of us below? For all I know maybe I'm already vaxxed, or filled with enough graphene to upload me into the cloud, against my will or consent! Anyway, many so-called climate crises seem more the product of geoengineering, from which the constructed 'consensus' is redirecting us into convenient rationales ('solutions') for blaming and punishing ourselves, aka sinful humanity, for 'anthropogenic' problems so Hunger Games austerity and depopulation may proceed.
Regarding alternative community master lists for the US, I've generally come across lists limited to specific concerns, like local, independent food networks, which apart from such notable exceptions as Corey Lynn with Fitts are often lacking much or any awareness of larger paradigm shifts underway. Derrick Broze and the Conscious Resistance Network, along with John Bush, have started a freedom cell network for a 'greater reset' which you might find worthwhile, if not already familiar.
POSITIVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES - Usually the Law of Unintended Consequences refers to unexpected and negative results and side effects of a plan or policy. Since our intrepid WEF/Deep State/Supervillains/saboteurs/etc. plans and policies seem to be focused on ruination and despair, what (if any) unintended and positive consequences might result from their machinations? Discuss.
The only real positive consequences I can see coming out of this, is that our ‘intrepid WEF/Deep State/Supervillains/saboteurs/etc.’ will ultimately be swinging by their necks! This should be a top priority on everyone’s ‘to do list’.
Thanks for your openness and creative ideas. One thing I'd be interested in discussing is thoughts on action in the plandemic process, what's going on where people are at, if anything, what can be done, whether standing one's ground or heading for the hills. Where I'm at, it's dead, real zombieland. But I don't get much sense of it being all that different elsewhere, especially in terms of addressing the full agenda (Great Reset, etc.). I'm interested in theory translated into strategic practice for long-term goals.
Hi niko - Ray wants 2 or more readers to agree together on the specific wording for the topic (title) of his next article.
In an effort to simplify & condense what a few of us have suggested so far l came up with: PRACTICAL SURVIVAL STRATEGIES OVER NEXT 5 YEARS? 10 YEARS? IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. (Please see my latest comment l sent about 4 hours ago).
If that's agreeable with you could you please let Ray know. Thanks!
I think you have to start a small holding that will take care of you. Start by using the small holding in growing enough food for you to eat, it doesn't take much with the right design.
Unlike the great mass of humanity now subjected to the whims of the billionaires, those who will happily own nothing, will largely do whatever they are told. Including to eat bugs, someone owning a productive small holding, with similarly minded people in the surround, can tell those billionaire idiots to F OFF.,
If you own a smallholding only then will have something to defend. Only with something to defend is life meaningful.
Just typing out articles for the internet isn't good enough.
Yes, since the rise of imperial civilization based on class rule of the few over the many, controlling people by removing them from their own direct control over resources like land and food has been a proven means of enforcing power (no wonder heavily guarded granaries were among the earliest 'sacred' sites administered by priestly castes). Along the ways of subsequent history, small holdings among oppressed people, like serfs and shareholders, have provided some compensatory relief from the ravages of power, if not protection from crises of scarcity. But modern capitalist development has, if anything, only perfected this ancient practice in the corporatization of the economy and (re)production of resources for living, such that we are now confronting the great reset of the global commons under the complete privatization and control of the ruling class.
Even before 2020, the corporate state, representing such interests as Big Ag, biotech, and GMOs, was targeting small, independent farming and food production, using the rule of law (covering for the rule of elites) to raid and ransack small, independent farming and food production and make an example of select cases for chill effect on others (e.g., Monsanto prosecution of farmers for patent violations of terminator seeds scattering to their lands, where common natural seed sharing still prevailed). This war has reached such scorched earth extents as to have neighborhood and even backyard gardens in urban settings under attack, as by the 'public health' authorities, and they've gone so far as to declare gardening dangerous to human health! No doubt the latest R&D of chemical and biological warfare in such demented DARPA projects as insects for genetic engineering of plants and animals (and delivery of 'vaccines') will only make us healthier.
So struggle over what we the people control in terms of the most basic (re)production of life seems now an inescapable imperative of survival, though I'm skeptical, given the history, whether individualist models of small holdings, absent a cooperative and organized network, still respecting individual rights while able to marshal people power in opposition to the assaults of the corporate state, can prove effective. I do think you identify something absolutely essential to resistance, and our humanity, in the relationship between what we take care of taking care of us, or the relationship, long lost for many of us (especially in our virtual 'realities' like the internet) but still recoverable, of land belonging to us (common stakeholders) likewise being that to which we belong.
I think we're fundamentally relational creatures, and that the values of relationship, including for self-realization, need to be extended to truly sustainable and healthy communities among us in a shared economy among equals participating in democratic control over resources for living. That's something worth defending, for me at least, as I agree that life is meaningful, purposeful, when we live according to values, material and embodied, worth defending, and, if need be, dying for. Or as M.L. King, Jr. put it, “A man (or woman) who does not have something for which he is willing to die is not fit to live.”
What I have found most peculiar in my studying the cultural history, politology, ideologies, and sociology of civilizations is that all of them seem to follow the same structure, resulting in five "castes":
As far as whether enough small holders will appear is not necessarily my concern. The issue is I am going to try and share what happens on my holdings. So far I haven't been kicked off YouTube or Stack and now I am pleased to read your otherwise most excellent comment. :-)
In my opinion as an urban dweller for 35 years or longer counting Sacramento there is our garden and possibly a few like minded others. Not many. Obedience is how Californians roll. In conversations about this no one wants to hear. I would undertake acts of Surrealist resistance offline to no avail. I see this life world through European eyes. Resistance is internal. Psychological. A willingness to be left alone, ignored, and quietly live and thrive.
I have been interested in alternative community for nearly 45 years. The reason I never moved into one is urbanization fit my personality. Small group life is not my cup of tea. An urban village might do the trick. Resources exist. Once there was the Whole Earth Catalog.
Are you familiar with Murray Bookchin's work, particularly related to municipalism based on more village-like associations which integrate communal and civic virtues, while avoiding the lonely, anonymous crowds and bureaucratic mechanization of mass urbanization, on the one hand, and the parochial confinements of small settllements, rural communes, etc., on the other? See also Kirkpatrick Sale's Human Scale Revisted for all sorts of interesting angles on what's livable rather than alienating.
Then there's also actual practices of cooperative social economies like Mondragon in Spain, to a limited extent exported to the US as in worker-owned businesses (e.g., Youngstown, Ohio's repurposing of old, outsourced steel industry; note Staughton Lynd's work there). John Curl's For All the People: Uncovering the Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America also provides some useful background.
Interesting, I view sophistry as a waste of time actually. No, I haven't read or looked at any of these current living arrangements, I am alone, and next to no one has asked for my help in the context of what I am learning here. Plenty of ridicule though!
I think when the system collapses I will be in the protected middle because I know how to grow food without agribusiness inputs.
One knowable quantity is everyone has to eat and those who can grow nutritious food will be cared for.
Those not knowing much of how to actually take care of themselves will be on the front line of defense. Book readers please make a note of this.
I am. 80's I read him. Coops do work. Depending on people, and type of entity. Problem arises as always with Golden Rule. Gold makes rule. 20 bohemians can work in a food coop, for a while, but money is required to have another life and coop is not that and a living wage for 20 might be tough. In SF in 1987 Food. Coops were everywhere. By 1997 only a few. Irony as well is the Anarchist Community Households. also strong in 1987 are gone. Quick money from .com swept this all away. And aging. After 30 tis tough to live by principles in da big city. After 40 harder still. Circumstances have to be right for survival.
The Russians developed mRNA teachnology in the early 1980s, but they refrained from using it, because it would have started a chain reaction that would have been impossible to control. The experiments, of course, have been continuing in hermetically-sealed environments, but I believe Dr. Andreas Noack that it is a red herring. There are more than enough poisons out there to kill every living things on Earth, so something that is potentially so dangerous is unlikely to be used in public.
Probably nobody at Pfizer or any other manufacturer knows what's exactly in the injections, because every batch is different and modern R&D has been compartmentalized against industrial spying for a long time. An AI, however, is probably used for creating specific conconctions for each batch, containing a couple of dozens of ingredients, selected from a few hundred. This way, harmful intent is extremely difficult to use, which would be the only way the manufacturers could be make liable for their murderous products.
The AI is certainly demonic, along with the whole genocider cabal.
There is insufficient information for most things, so we have to triangulate; technology, the globalists' announced plans, and the results point in the same direction. As manufacturing has been compartmentalized for decades against industrial spying, there are only a few, if any, people, who know all the details.
Keeping all potential channels open and keeping one current model ready is all that can be done.
My impression is that my readers and smart, well-meaning, and I still don't have bots and too many trolls. Of course, once I reach 10k, I will be probably banned by Substack :)
I expect intelligent and well-meaning readers having open discussions in a respectful manner here, no matter how far their views differ. Let the discussion speak for itself!
Hi niko - l was typing you a reply just now & poof....it disappeared. Oh well. Just wanted to say no apology needed. We all understand our online activity gets sporadic at times. Real life must come first! I did enjoy this topic on Ray's SS & l really got a lot out of it.
And l agree with you about the very human "wish" for communing & trying to survive with other like-minded people. But l also agree with your assessment that it almost never works out in the long run.
The future is going to be interesting. And intensely challenging. But l still have hope. Be well.
Ray - It's about 12:15am my time & John just agreed with my most recently suggested title:
PRACTICAL SURVIVAL STRATEGIES OVER NEXT 5 YEARS? 10 YEARS? IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
Haven't seen a reply from niko or David yet but l'm signing off now. Will check back in tomorrow.
Thank-you.
Errrr....Ray, forgive me....l am quite "technologically" challenged. Don't own a computer. Only access SubStack via my stupid cellphone. Do l contact these other people on their Substack account (if they have one?). Hopefully they will jump back in this evening. Or l think if l "reply" to their comments here it pops up in their email?
Just reply to their messages here!
Done!
Ray: How about - PRACTICAL SURVIVAL STRATEGIES OVER the NEXT 5 YEARS? 10 YEARS? IN YOU LOCAL COMMUNITY....

But whatever topic you discuss next...l am eagerly looking forward to it! Thanks!
Please, find at least another person with whom you agree on what the topic will be called!
Still waiting for people to get together and agree what a discussion topic would be called.
I'm back with another idea for a topic to possibly be discussed on your SS Ray....
WHAT WILL OUR NEIGHBORHOODS LOOK LIKE IF THERE TRULY IS A MASSIVE DIE OFF IN AMERICA (& worldwide)?
DO YOU FEEL THERE WILL BE MANY STREETS WITH EMPTY HOUSES? APARTMENT BUILDINGS WITH MANY EMPTY UNITS? RURAL HOMESTEADS THAT HAVE BEEN ABANDONED?
We could go further...will there be garbage pick-up? Will libraries close? Etc?
And niko, thank-you for the info you shared in your reply to me about an hour ago. Deeply appreciated!
I think the most affected cities become like Detroit. Real estate values drop to literal zero. Economic activity plummets and rows of houses become vacant as survivors move away.

Excellent idea Ray! I propose the topic.. HOW DO WE BRING ABOUT AN END TO THIS SELF-PROPELLED MADNESS?
Hi John - Ray wants 2 or more readers to agree on an actual "specific title" for an upcoming article. About 4 hours ago (see my latest comment) l proposed "PRACTICAL SURVIVAL STRATEGIES OVER the NEXT 5 YEARS? 10 YEARS? IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY ". Please let Ray know if you're agreeable. If not, l am more than happy to go with your article title of HOW DO WE BRING AN END TO THIS SELF-PROPELLED MADNESS? Thanks!
The discussion is now open!
I'm sure, the second topic would also interest quite a few people. Many people don't dare to comment or even "Like," because they are afraid of the consequences. They don't seem to understand that silence would not extend their lifespan, only the length of their slavery...
Yes.. I agree with your suggestion entirely. I think a few readers have put forth a few good suggestions. I trust Ray could compile it from there.
Actually, it's up to you what you agree on.
I'll start up a room with the first title right away.
It seems like there are a couple of people interested in this, although they haven't officially agreed on the name of the topic. Can you, please, discuss it with them so that I can start up the topic for everyone, who is interested?
I must be missing something Ray? I thought I did suggest a topic? I CAPITALISED it as requested. Can that not be the title of a suggested topic..?
Please, find at least one more interested person and agree on the word/phrase used for the topic!
As l was typing l see Stegiel agrees with nico's thoughts so that makes 3 of us Ray!
So, what should we call the topic and can you all four agree, please?
Actually, that topic has been on my mind, too . . . so I 4th.
Hi David - Ray wants 2 or more of his readers to agree on the exact "title" for an upcoming article.

So struggle over what we the people control in terms of the most basic (re)production of life seems now an inescapable imperative of survival, though I'm skeptical, given the history, whether individualist models of small holdings, absent a cooperative and organized network, still respecting individual rights while able to marshal people power in opposition to the assaults of the corporate state, can prove effective. I do think you identify something absolutely essential to resistance, and our humanity, in the relationship between what we take care of taking care of us, or the relationship, long lost for many of us (especially in our virtual 'realities' like the internet) but still recoverable, of land belonging to us (common stakeholders) likewise being that to which we belong.
I think we're fundamentally relational creatures, and that the values of relationship, including for self-realization, need to be extended to truly sustainable and healthy communities among us in a shared economy among equals participating in democratic control over resources for living. That's something worth defending, for me at least, as I agree that life is meaningful, purposeful, when we live according to values, material and embodied, worth defending, and, if need be, dying for. Or as M.L. King, Jr. put it, “A man (or woman) who does not have something for which he is willing to die is not fit to live.”
What I have found most peculiar in my studying the cultural history, politology, ideologies, and sociology of civilizations is that all of them seem to follow the same structure, resulting in five "castes":

The technocrats want to cut it down to only two social classes.
Wow, informative reply!
As far as whether enough small holders will appear is not necessarily my concern. The issue is I am going to try and share what happens on my holdings. So far I haven't been kicked off YouTube or Stack and now I am pleased to read your otherwise most excellent comment. :-)
I like the idea of free tenant peasants myself.
In my opinion as an urban dweller for 35 years or longer counting Sacramento there is our garden and possibly a few like minded others. Not many. Obedience is how Californians roll. In conversations about this no one wants to hear. I would undertake acts of Surrealist resistance offline to no avail. I see this life world through European eyes. Resistance is internal. Psychological. A willingness to be left alone, ignored, and quietly live and thrive.
So far all I have found on the internet are ideas. Nothing concrete.
I have been interested in alternative community for nearly 45 years. The reason I never moved into one is urbanization fit my personality. Small group life is not my cup of tea. An urban village might do the trick. Resources exist. Once there was the Whole Earth Catalog.
Are you familiar with Murray Bookchin's work, particularly related to municipalism based on more village-like associations which integrate communal and civic virtues, while avoiding the lonely, anonymous crowds and bureaucratic mechanization of mass urbanization, on the one hand, and the parochial confinements of small settllements, rural communes, etc., on the other? See also Kirkpatrick Sale's Human Scale Revisted for all sorts of interesting angles on what's livable rather than alienating.
Then there's also actual practices of cooperative social economies like Mondragon in Spain, to a limited extent exported to the US as in worker-owned businesses (e.g., Youngstown, Ohio's repurposing of old, outsourced steel industry; note Staughton Lynd's work there). John Curl's For All the People: Uncovering the Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America also provides some useful background.
Interesting, I view sophistry as a waste of time actually. No, I haven't read or looked at any of these current living arrangements, I am alone, and next to no one has asked for my help in the context of what I am learning here. Plenty of ridicule though!
I think when the system collapses I will be in the protected middle because I know how to grow food without agribusiness inputs.
One knowable quantity is everyone has to eat and those who can grow nutritious food will be cared for.
Those not knowing much of how to actually take care of themselves will be on the front line of defense. Book readers please make a note of this.
I am. 80's I read him. Coops do work. Depending on people, and type of entity. Problem arises as always with Golden Rule. Gold makes rule. 20 bohemians can work in a food coop, for a while, but money is required to have another life and coop is not that and a living wage for 20 might be tough. In SF in 1987 Food. Coops were everywhere. By 1997 only a few. Irony as well is the Anarchist Community Households. also strong in 1987 are gone. Quick money from .com swept this all away. And aging. After 30 tis tough to live by principles in da big city. After 40 harder still. Circumstances have to be right for survival.
I won't move either. But I can convert on this spot.
Yes each individual has the opportunity to grow their own.
Yes I second.
This is for the good boys and girls only, who will be allowed to eat crickets!
The bad ones will eat roaches in the Green Zones!
Thank you for the link. It's witty and to the point. You and I disagree on the mRNA,
https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/mrna
but that's incinsequential.
The Russians developed mRNA teachnology in the early 1980s, but they refrained from using it, because it would have started a chain reaction that would have been impossible to control. The experiments, of course, have been continuing in hermetically-sealed environments, but I believe Dr. Andreas Noack that it is a red herring. There are more than enough poisons out there to kill every living things on Earth, so something that is potentially so dangerous is unlikely to be used in public.
Probably nobody at Pfizer or any other manufacturer knows what's exactly in the injections, because every batch is different and modern R&D has been compartmentalized against industrial spying for a long time. An AI, however, is probably used for creating specific conconctions for each batch, containing a couple of dozens of ingredients, selected from a few hundred. This way, harmful intent is extremely difficult to use, which would be the only way the manufacturers could be make liable for their murderous products.
The AI is certainly demonic, along with the whole genocider cabal.
There is insufficient information for most things, so we have to triangulate; technology, the globalists' announced plans, and the results point in the same direction. As manufacturing has been compartmentalized for decades against industrial spying, there are only a few, if any, people, who know all the details.
Keeping all potential channels open and keeping one current model ready is all that can be done.
Yes, as long as there are two readers/commenters, who can agree on a topic.
Obviously; there a lot more than one could possibly handle.
The trick is to find someone else here, who is also interested in the same topic...
My impression is that my readers and smart, well-meaning, and I still don't have bots and too many trolls. Of course, once I reach 10k, I will be probably banned by Substack :)
I expect intelligent and well-meaning readers having open discussions in a respectful manner here, no matter how far their views differ. Let the discussion speak for itself!
