I was banned from Lemmygrad for statements that were critical of the authority of the USSR, and writings of their savior Karl M.

I was banned from Lemmy.world for anti-zionism. Most of the Lemmy side of the fediverse seems infested with authoritarianism that’s as bad as Reddit’s corporatism.

Project Murmurations says, “If you believe that going into the middle of nowhere in a wierd society with hippie/new age ideals with a charismatic leader and lots of labor serves yourself and your community then do it. You are also free to change your course if you find that your plan isn’t working out.”

It offers tools to assist in creating self-sustaining communities and a shared identity based on a simple philosophy. Since every member is an authority, every member is free to serve the project however they see fit. There are suggestions at https://slrpnk.net/c/murmuration

Define cult. Nobody can tell you what to do in the Murmuration. Each member is an authority unto themselves.

The answer isn’t broken. Your assumptions about the limitations of the project are. For some reason you’re locked into the idea that we brainlessly follow the first generated response, when it’s clearly an outline of suggestions. You’ve also derailed the conversation so we can talk about your naysaying instead of any possible resolution to the problems you think you see.

I’m trying to orient you to the way your initial reaction is counter productive. You’re walking through a garden with a weedwacker, smacking down any idea that doesn’t meet your standard. Orient yourself to the “Yes, and…,” mindset. If you respond to a proposal, ensure that your input is constructive. It’s fine to express your doubts, but if that’s all you do then you’re stopping momentum and interfering with constructive action. Constructive dialogue is a core precept of a movement that I’m working on. It’s necessary to undermine Capitalist programming even in the way we interact with each other. Competition in the realm of thought and ideology supports the hierarchy of power that keeps us oppressed.

You could be proposing solution, instead of having me listen to your gripes.

A: The vertical farms don’t need to be load bearing. They can be created with bamboo, wood, masonry, glass, plastic, or other novel materials and lit with LED grow lights.

B: Using fibers or metal frames can add strength to compressed Earth. You’re also splitting hairs, if one technique doesn’t work then we can try others. There are new wind generators that are basically stiff, hair-like balloons attached to a mechanism that collects the energy harvested when the wind causes them to vibrate. There are countless solutions. Nobody is advocating for AI to do all of the thinking.

I’m working on a project that I hope will help, a non-hierarchical, volunteer society that would simply move away from people who start trying to run the show.
