If nothing else, these are obvious community building and networking opportunities. The US is starved of these opportunities ...

americans are indeed starved, but it's not an accident we find ourselves in this condition.

it's also true that these could serve a networking oppurtunity, but given american's collectivism-phobia, it's going to literally take generations using things like the no kings to make a dent.

you're not wrong, like most arent, you're just missing some blanks and most of us here can see some of them like i just did.
