Thanks so much for the reply. I’m glad to have another person here on the same wavelength. I’m trying to compile as many historical examples of people that functioned well and peaceably without succumbing to statehood and empire. I appreciate your example here, and if you’re up for it I would love to chat in more detail on Discord. I think the Roman Empire snuffed out most of these examples and that all of our modern day empires are just extensions of Rome. This is almost a 3,000 year struggle, it’s deep.
