Are they gonna call it “Northern Florida”?
Maybe they should take a name from the Bible for their haven. Maybe Gilead?
Where they are building will not make it any different from what is already around there. Trust me. A bit of a marketing scheme that could potentially get them sued, but mostly another setup for a boring subdivision development.
If you had a ton of money, this seems like a great way to make more. Buy a bunch of land, sell it at a premium to the “right” people, profit, and then leave.
Bonus: you’ve just concentrated a bunch of rich assholes into one known, ideally remote, location.

Why else would I be fully supportive of Musky-boy’s initiative to colonize Mars?
- Get all the hyper-wealthy parasites off of the planet and onto Mars, get things going so it appears attractive and compelling.
- Have their spacecraft remotely scuttled once they are all on the planet.
- Let the hyper-wealthy discover what “hard work” really is for once in their supremely privileged lives, especially with their basic survival on the line.
- Leave Earth for all the working-class people.
It’s brilliant really. They’re already in a rocket.
The true American religion.
Honestly, I’ve got some property that I’m thinking would be great to start building really modern tiny homes on. I was thinking if I can get enough people together, it could basically be self sustaining.
The tiny homes would be about 200sq/ft, but really clean lines, very Scandinavian with lots of glass and metal but very sustainable wood exteriors. The glass would keep people reminded that they’re on the land and in a community.
We’d make sure there was fiber so the internet would be great at all times, so it would be a very wired community. All naturescaping, spaces for community gardens, outdoor firewood saunas for the community space, and a community firepit for outdoor meetings and events.
There’s a river and a lake nearby, so we make it all walking and bike paths within the community. We just build the warmth and community and seamlessly integrate technology in a green way to serve what I call the “Intellect Workers” – programmers, writers, artists and engineers; people that do the actual work of making society and culture grow. We can reflect that sensibility in our shared gardens.
It really could be something beatiful, and we can subsidize a part of the cost of ownership across the community members, so that it’s affordable to the young innovator as much as it is to the less young creators.
Obviously science and rational thinking will dominate, and we will seek to grow the community to SUSTAINABLE levels, so that it can remain a space of innovative creation.
I really think we could get this done. How many can I put you down for?
“Abbotoy offered few details on how the community would be run beyond saying: ‘Most of the leadership is going to be led by Protestant christians.’”
The leadership is being led by someone else. Got it.
Shouldn’t everyone be celebrating this? Take all the ‘undesirables’ and plunk them in the middle of nowhere. Then, when they fail, they’ll have to REALLY do some gymnastics to blame the left.
Meh. Mental gymnastics and blaming the Left are basic requirements.
Like a Village with a no flyovers??
“following in the footsteps of movements like the so-called “American Redoubt”, which encourages rightwingers to engage in “political migration” to areas in the interior of the Pacific north-west.”
if they come fuck with my PNW, i’m going to start making bombs.
But the underlying finances of land offerings associated with the “Highland Rim Project” (HRP) in Kentucky suggest that buyers will pay a steep premium for living in a remote ideological enclave, while the scheme’s promoters are set to collect tidy profits after making few apparent improvements to the land.
It’s ALWAYS a grift lmao
Invite Alex Jones to be your leader. Name the town after him and then wait for history to circle back around…
Jonestown 2, the electric kool-aid Boogaloo?
The sequel we’d all be hoping for.
“Alex…Alex…we all have to drink this Kool-Aid or this inner city rec center is gonna be destroyed!”
From what I have seen while driving through, Kentucky is naturally beautiful. I wish it was someone other than the worst people in the country trying to settle in there.
Please build a wall, and don’t bother with gates or bridges.
We will need some catapults too. We’ll need to make sure we can get people in, after all
Build a dome and don’t bother with ventilation.
Oh that’s even better, love it.
