Nice fucking assumptions asshat.
Not like I literally went to college for wildlife conservation and have done entire reports on regenerative agriculture practices. My favorite is multispecies rotational grazing to help incorporate the whole ecosystem into how we cultivate the land. Though, my education spanned much more than just agricultural practices and more on ecosystem health and sustainability on macro scales.
I know much more than you think. I don't really give a shit about your little bs rant. A lot of the bs you go on about are much deeper societal issues that are not unique to rural or urban life but the very fabric of our interconnected society as a whole. I don't care about how little money you live your life on. Needing money is a much larger societal issue that needs to be solved and everyone fucking off into the woods to start their own individual homesteads is not how you make a functional society.
Yes, modern city life has issues and industrialized society is environmentally harmful, especially suburbia, but everyone living isolated plots is not sustainable in the slightest. Just because you and your family are able to do it doesn't mean that everyone can while the entirety of society facilitating the existence of people wanting to live so spread and distanced from each other is causing massive resource drains and itself causes environmental harm in the externalities of facilitating it on a structural level.
As much as you like to imagine you live apart from society out in your little fiefdom, you're still very much a part of it.
And you draw assumptions as well. I assure you I am a part of my society and fight for the things I believe in. You seem to know me so well you likely already are aware of that yet at the same time you don't care at all.
I'm glad you studied It's a smart thing to do. It's a shame you are so knowledgeable yet so bound to a system that does not work for anyone and wastes the vast majority of its food in the name of capitalism. Your high horse seems to have lost its legs.
We can walk the talk and we do, so we're pieces of shit for actually doing it. Shake your head.
I even got my ass off the couch yesterday and voted against fascism in Canada, though I don't believe in the party or person I voted for. I'm probably a piece of shit for doing that too.
Yes, I live in a society. Such a profound statement. Almost like that's the goal so I put my effort into changing that society instead of thinking I'm so much better for having removed myself from it.
I live rurally so I have removed myself from society? You have some interesting ideas. Incorrect, assumptive ideas but ideas none the less.
