Conformity to our postmodern mainstream expectations of individualism is pitiful. It's American democracy at the single unit voter scale, sans the organized lobbies that very much like the arrangement. Always being different has no potential even if one's arguments are the most sound. Concentrated interest trumps merit in our age.

Long hair is not a problem if you have trained in boxing or karate striking. With sufficient competence, a random street crud won't be able to close in for grappling without taking enough damage to require stitches and bandages due to profuse bleeding. It doesn't hurt to also know how to break holds and tumble.

I'll extend the same offer toward those on the opposite side of the continent within a reasonable range of Cape Canaveral. You may PM me.

Trick or treat = "Give me something even though I have done nothing to earn it, or else."

Yes, that's basically what the pre-Christian Europeans did by appeasing the spirits with sacrifices. What does that do to a people who have an appeasement tradition directed toward entities that do not belong among them, combined with a new religion that forces universal ego/pity extremism on everyone?

Maybe various meeting areas should be designated throughout the country with heads of local branches to report to the main branch. Something along these lines sounds doable.

Why not use any one of the countless existing organizations already out there? Sure, you would have to pay for a newsletter membership, a P.O. box and show up for a protest rally or two. But, the infrastructure is already in place and a couple dozen co-conspirators could influence the organization toward a more useful direction.

One possibility is to use the existing system's own resources to help reshape society. The drawback is that too many metal people are withdrawn from larger society, unable to interface with and direct its energy.

This endeavor needs skilled, motivated people with a diverse array of talents or qualifications. Call it a town of the future prototype experiment, get some grants for funding and a large piece of land for building and farming. Credible, respectable people who happen to appreciate metal are the key.

Civilization gets a return on its grant investments and material donations in the form of reports and other media which demonstrates that several better alternatives to the existing society's designs are available.

The trouble with some of the thinking in this thread is with outer form, which is the 'metal society' wording in the title. The spirit of the thread is 'better alternative' to existing society and many superior possibilities are found in the spirit of metal culture.

When i say ecologically friendly i mean things like cars would be replaced with more suitable forms of transport (considering how small the territory is this makes sense).

Cloning the modern world by having "new types of cars" or new improved "other product" is not really an alternative. Our towns need to be efficiently designed so that personal transport devices are not needed by most people. Walking for a few minutes rather than driving an hour in clogged traffic might accomplish the same purpose less destructively. Towns are stupidly designed so that everyone must take on the extra expense of a petroleum burning car in order to function.

Might as well make a democracy if you have everyone choosing leaders. Society's needs will quickly develop, becoming apparent to all and leaders will naturally respond. The successful response to society need determines fit leadership and what follows is everyone's approval. Democracy has it backwards.
