I’m going to heavily disagree. Community is the only thing we have now. it’s the giant mesh of friends and connections that is stronger than any single node. But you only get out of it what you put into it.
I’m currently a week away from leaving the US, and the loss of my community is one of the biggest things I’ve been mourning. That said, my community has also been absolutely instrumental in helping me through this.
Yeah. I’m staying with a friend after fleeing a red state. I miss my old community of trusted friends back there, but I’m relying on trusted friends here. And once I settle here I’m gonna build a trusted community here too.
A lot of the cultural zeitgeist has moved away from getting to know your neighbors and getting out and doing things and meeting people. But they are very worth doing
