They must’ve gotten lost on their way to Oregon.
Wow that article pointed out a lot I didn’t know about Oregon. Thanks history classes that skip this!
Thanks for sharing it.
Behind the Bastards did 2 or 3 decent podcast episodes about Oregon’s long history of racism.
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
A fool and his money…
Sun Tzu: “Never interrupt your opponent while he is in the middle of making a mistake.”
I think they’re just going to call it “Kentucky”
Pensabamatucky.
I’ve been saying for a while that they need their own specially reserved land out in the middle of nowhere, with its own rules that the US government can have a treaty for. I feel like there’s a word for that but for the life of me I can’t remember it.
Can we throw in some smallpox covered blankets like they did for the Native Americans back in the day?
Florida?
Like a camp or compound of some sort? /s
Maybe it could be set asided or reserved for them?
Idaho. And build a wall. For us.
I mean, conservatives are trying to turn the entire nation into Conservatopia. If they can all be coralled into little racist towns instead of being allowed to walk amongst the normal people, I’m all for it.
Maybe put walls around it and make them wear little symbols so good people know what they’re looking at /s
Make them? Slap a $3.99 sticker on it and they’ll line up around the block to purchase their little symbols.
Seriously. Of all the things I associate with conservatives, normal isn’t one of them amirite??
Bring back segregation!
Wait no not like that!
Please build a wall, and don’t bother with gates or bridges.
Build a dome and don’t bother with ventilation.
Oh that’s even better, love it.
We will need some catapults too. We’ll need to make sure we can get people in, after all
Maybe they should take a name from the Bible for their haven. Maybe Gilead?
Yes… We’ll call it “just exactly what Kentucky is today, but also you give me double the typical cost to live here because you’ve self identified as a moron by being interested in my project”.
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!”
we all have to drink this Kool-Aid or this inner city rec center is gonna
be destroyed!turn the frogs gay.You gotta understand your audience.

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.
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?
You’ve just invented the Co-op. Now if you can get around residential zoning and all the red tape involved forming one, it’s a great idea. There are tons of good and bad examples out there (let me know if you want resources), so make sure you’re looking at where it’s gone wrong and how to avoid the common obstacles.
I spent part of my childhood growing up in a co-op in city limits. It was so great growing up next to do many families all pitching in on projects and activities together, and summer holidays as a kid were unparalleled
I’m not rich but I get a va pension and I’m techy 🤷

A) Condos instead of individual tiny homes is probably better, for density, cost, and efficiency reasons. I would strongly advise bumping the square footage up a little to make it more marketable and sustainable long-term.
B) Glass and metal are expensive. Both in up-front costs and efficiency losses. Need to be careful in how these are implemented.
C) If you need an architect, hit me up.

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.
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.
Just put a high fence around it with the razor wire on the inside, and be done with it.
This pro slavery comment brought to you by someone on the highest of horses 😂
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.

Are you not aware of Idaho?
Have you not been to Eastern Washington or Eastern Oregon?
