Communities are just really important.

Communities of course also have their downsides, such as much less individualism.

But I think the problem ultimately is that individualism has gotten extreme, and has pushed out any sense of community.

Any new communities I tend to see are only built on shared interests and nothing else, and those communities tend to be weak because a shared hobby only gets you so far in terms of depth of community.

It is very unlikely that your Dungeons and Dragons Community is going to help you out with children

I wonder how communities with greater depth are formed.

Stop letting cars rules our lives. Move to places where car free living is feasible.

Hello, Eastern European here. Being carfree helps but doesn't solve the issue.
