So, there's a pretty interesting concept floating around called free cities, which are being set up as special economic zones that are based around the NAP and general libertarian Austrian principles. Everything is contractual and based on informed consent. This would include security obligations that probably would include walls.

So we willingly want to sign up for imprisonment these days? That's where we are going with this?

What side of the wall do you think you're on?

And if you've sheepishly convinced yourself you are sheltering yourself from the evil in the world by entering into some tacit agreement with your commune - let's face it, that's what it is. Will one at least admit they are choosing extreme measures of flight? Would one be comfortable admitting that? That, in spite of what they may measure themselves as against the more meager, they too need a safe space on a long enough graph map.

I disagree, as it's not a commune and you'd obviously be free to come and go as you please.

Possibly. Since we've yet to see this tried at any scale, we don't know if the contract is capable of staving off the tyrant.

America has lots of "gated communities", surrounded by walls and with security manning the gates and patrolling the streets.

My parents' house in Maryland is like that. Mostly black people living there.

One of the few neighborhoods near DC where women and children are out playing and walking alone, even at night.

This is a pretty minor application of the concept, but, gosh I hate HOAs. Most of them suck. I can certainly see Daev's point, since, we do have the examples of HOAs going off the rail. So, that's certainly something to watch out for.

. . . . .and?

It's still not fixing a problem that will eventually come through your facade barriers.

You're literally proposing what you disrespect about refugees, aren't you? Fleeing for shelter, instead of fixing the issue forcing you to flee for shelter.

Honestly, I see Daev's point. There's always the risk of internal conflict within these communities, and if these conflicting parties choose not to leave, then chaos erupts. 🤷‍♂️

Yup. It's a risk.

You'd prefer to be "imprisoned" against your will at the whim of bankers and their NGO puppets? The climate hoax is their means to control your movements with 15 minute cities under the guise of "saving the planet".
