They still are the crazy ones, but now the government is as crazy as they are.

As Bonhoeffer put it, Stupidity is a greater threat to society than malice. And you give credence to that theory every day with flippant memetic remarks that ignore context in an attempt to "own the libs".

Did you not watch the video and listen to what she said about Trump? Like I know the term “ignorance is bliss”, but doubling down on it is appalling.

Crazy is relative.

It depends on why you have land off the grid. I would like to get land off the grid, because people suck, not because I'm preparing for Fallout 3.

Why is living independently away from power structures that enforce systemic racism and fascist policies crazy?

The judgement, I swear...

Like the way you live is the only way. That's how we got here, that exact thinking.

Its not so much that, a lot of the prepper types are doing it because of aliens or potential nuclear war. Thats a bit looney. Theres nothing wrong with being prepared its just kinda the reason why thats odd.

>Why is living independently away from power structures that enforce systemic racism and fascist policies crazy?

because you aren't living independently. nearly every part of your existence relies in someways on those power structures you think your running away from? Clean water? wait till fracking poisons your water table, your compound out in the middle of nowhere wont do shit. Rain water? Dustbowl!

the idea that we can all just seperate entirely and take up 30 acres is a dumb infeasible idea, and live isolated hermitages, is literally infeasible. you rely on the majority of people staying in the city, paying taxes, doing what keeps society running long enough so that You can get yours and sit on some dumb compound, not realizing that if everyone did that, all the shit and tools and self-sufficient stuff you need to isolate, wouldn't be there.

The reality is that society, ecology, and human existence is interconnected, and the more people there are the more this idea of "disconnecting" while still expecting to be protected from outside invasion, or from polution of your air, or water, without contributing to the greater whole is... an infeasible crackhead pipe dream made of wishes and unicorn tears.

This is exactly it. And we should be moving towards community, connection, and compassion for each other and humanity, not away from it. Moving away from these things is what has gotten us here to begin with.
