I do not mean this as a rhetorical question: I mean it literally. Tell us what’s stopping you! I don’t want to invalidate you, but the opposite. I’m sure people here would love to help if it’s possible. Post away!
Personally, I think Covid and the general amount of work everyone does are the two biggest obstacles to community building. Not just for me, but everybody I know. It’s nearly impossible to build a community when nobody has the energy to even play a video game together, and actually meeting up in person can literally kill you. There are definitely solutions, but we need to realize them as problems first to find them. If you have suggestions, please share them! Same goes for the issues everyone else shares (if they’re ok with help, of course).
I was talking to a comrade of mine recently and they mentioned that the 'American dream' of being locked into a mortgage was designed to crush the union movement, so i'd say that probably does a lot to fuck up community organising
I feel this, all my mental labor is just caught up working or home repairs or "recovering" from other mental stress. I'm just trying to get rid of the mortgage ASAP and hopefully use the financial freedom to then have stability which I can use to support my community.
