I am without words
The secret to maintaining a strong community that resists encroachments from outside, you see, lies in the fact that truly good people are fundamentally unmarketable. Their contentment cannot be monetized, their relationships resist optimization, their pleasures remain stubbornly inexpensive. Their needs are small, and so their spaces stay humble, and those humble spaces fail to attract the sorts of hedonistic liberals that usher in the destruction of all that is good. Decent, modest people create a kind of invisible shield against the very "improvements" that would destroy their way of life, not through active resistance but through the simple practice of virtuous living.
