My ideal society imagines a world that pushes true self-actualization of the individual and participation within a community to take care of a sustainable world.

You're not toiling in retail, in a warehouse, or a cubicle for 35-40 years to enrich some fucking asshole who makes thousands of times what you do for far less work. You do the minimum that you need to do under the understanding that you are contributing meaningful work to society, and then you are not only free but encouraged to pursue your interests and talents through free and cheap access to education, workshops, and grassroots organizations and groups, knowing that the more human beings we allow to pursue and develop their strengths, the likelier we increase our discovery of new breakthroughs in our lives, whether socially or technologically.

Your amenities and shops are not miles and miles away necessitating an expensive-ass car that needs expensive-ass gas or for you to stop every so often to charge it up again. If you're far out or taking a long trip, then you've got robust public options to get to where you need to go.

You've got family, friends, and neighbors who actually give a damn about you for you, who see about you, and who make sure you're alright. Indeed, your first option before going to buy something should be asking if your friend or neighbor can help you out, and they likely will knowing you'll return the favor. "Cup of sugar politics" as I call it.

The streets and parks are actually alive with art (real fucking art, not this AI trash), music, dancing, food and other cultural footnotes. Kids are drawing with chalk. Folks are skating up and down the road. Some musicians have met up to jam. People are hanging out talking about their lives and dating healthily.

You don't worry about crime really all that much. Not only are people's needs largely being met, but we have communal ways and deterrents to prevent assholes from taking advantage without having to sic jack-booted racists on them.

I want to live in a country whose politics focus less on property and consumption and more on people and socializing. I want a country where I can easily find friends, or someone to talk to, or a cool boyfriend. I want to be able to walk down to the park and see a festival going on and be obliged to join in. I want to sit on the porch during the evening and chat it up with my neighbors.

I want to have a fucking life on a planet whose ecosystems aren't dying to fill the holes in our hearts and spirits with video games and phones.

She could have just said she wants to live in candy land and saved everyone time.
