God, musta clicked something cause suddenly all my Twitter For You is all people sharing their commune dreams

I actually learned in college about American commune moments of the Second, Third, and Fourth (the hippie Age of Aquarius) Great Awakenings, they’re remarkably similar

“What if there was a place where all you and your weirdo friends could live apart from the rest of the world in a way that supported you through common enterprise” is exactly what my small town boarding school fantasy is about and it is not conceived as a commune for good reason

Oh yeah, I took a “US Religions” course in college, that one was great. One of my takeaways was “Jim Jones wasn’t actually that special until the meth made him super paranoid”, which we spent a week or two on. Fun to learn about, like, right before Far Cry 5, the one about fighting an apocalyptic religious commune, came out.
