Read_893 - Building a Local Network with your Neighbors

"Privacy is not a bunker. It’s not cutting every wire,
ghosting every friend, and hoping the grid forgets you exist.
That’s fantasy. Romanticized exile for people who don’t
understand surveillance capitalism. The truth is simpler and
harder."
~ GHOST


What if privacy isn’t about isolation—but about trust? Today we
dig into a short but powerful perspective by _Ghost_ that flips
the script on the often imagined but false idea of a
"romanticized exile." Where sovereignty is somehow manifest by
living isolated from society, trusting nothing and no one.
Instead we explore why building small, local, high-trust
networks—digital or physical—isn’t just practical, it’s
essential. And how a handful of dedicated people can change the
world, one shared tool at a time.
