There&#39;s one not far from the house, and they podcast their sermons. So I listened, to ascertain whether or not this might be a good fit. That&#39;s the setting.<br/><br/>First thing the pastor does is pray. In public. To me, you might as well be masturbating in public. It&#39;s PERSONAL. It grosses me out.

Groups will ALWAYS form, leaders will ALWAYS emerge, and there will ALWAYS be conflict.<br/><br/>What you are suggesting will turn into &#34;might makes right&#34;. And, eventually, people form tribes/gangs who will do/take whatever they desire because what are you gonna do about it? 2024-05-22T22:48:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9yrjd5hf0jngfpx9gzwja0r2sadvwncy99pfhtpslzddj4he0hqczyr04awldcp6exfvn2pp3recvpwrtrw8cfr3d5xdrz6l9k28wlaengaguvvl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr2kp5y9lsrpjjynyx70krg4566qhd5kep6sm9rhyvkyykev85kuss4fe3g'>nevent1q…fe3g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Not suddenly disappear, no, but certainly deteriorate without adequate funding. I do not for one second believe people will voluntarily fund it all. Not the ones alive nowadays, anyway. <br/><br/>You are correct that much is privately provided, but, crucially, publicly funded.<br/><br/>An unincorporated region that is not sovereign, even if it could maintain equilibrium, would soon be annexed by surrounding states if it had desirable resources.<br/><br/>Different era, different rules. 2024-05-22T20:45:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs83yzf5jhxz8ffectxhqwxltv7fcwzxu8zu0kdp7tvce3eull7daszyr04awldcp6exfvn2pp3recvpwrtrw8cfr3d5xdrz6l9k28wlaengyfwncf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp20rczffqplpmlgxx2k8n6paa6wwc5nfusaj88zx7mvrh9tf5ftq3kld07'>nevent1q…ld07</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s a mighty lotta faith in human nature to think you could have book club or sports league level cooperation in a group large enough to provide for things like public works and transportation. And unions aren&#39;t always voluntary, unless you&#39;re willing to say workers are free to not get a union job. Businesses might be an okay model to start from, but that looks kinda statist with radical capitalism.

Those are your realistic choices. Anarchy is not an option. Groups will always form, leaders will always emerge, and there will inevitably be conflict. That combo naturally evolves into a form of statism. Ideally, states would be small and not too powerful. I think centralization is more the problem than statism. 2024-05-22T16:38:50Z
