Here's a question I'd love an answer to. How does everyone else cope with the rage? The rage with how shitty life is under neoliberalism, how much friction there is to trying to live a good life without destroying the environment or helping sustain the billionaires who are screwing everything. How do you cope? I'm not coping, I'm just almost perpetually angry, which doesn't feel like a healthy way to life.

@RichBartlett I am investing some of my savings in small, projects through crowdfunding. Local organic farms, solar projects, organic restaurants - things that make sense and contribute towards the future.

@sandorspruit that's a great idea. We already shop organic, but directly supporting small endeavours like this could be really effective. I'll see of there's crowd funders like that for local projects.

@RichBartlett In fact, I’m in a group of 500 locals that have started their own farm cooperative, from the ground up. We are hiring multiple skilled farmers who organize, coordinate the complicated things, help whenever possible with practical stuff. Currently 45 varieties of veg, potatoes, onions, 45 varieties of fruit, nuts, pigs and cattle. Not bad after four years 😃

@RichBartlett Sure. It is in Dutch, but I am sure you can get the essence, with some translation tools. There are now 25 such farms around the Netherlands, all more or less based on the same concept: https://www.herenboeren.nl/
Natuurlijk samen, bij Herenboeren

Haal lekker lokaal en onbespoten voedsel van een Herenboerderij bij jou in de buurt. Dat is natuurlijk genieten!
