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.

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.

Kinda sorta.

It is more that the things we are busy doing are not fulfilling. Half of everything we do is because we are forced to do it to survive.

Contrary to popular belief, people actually like to do things and to keep busy/be productive… when we have control over what those things are

Right? That kind of mentality is just selfish. It shows that someone doesn’t know how to live with others and wants to make that everyone else’s problem.

Lol if you want to go live outside of civilization then go ahead; just don’t expect things like electricity, roads, and running water unless you can build it yourself. Facilitating all these antisocial people living out in bumbfuck is a massive drain on resources and fucks things up for the rest of us.

I live in the country.

It’s never peace and quiet. It’s constantly filled with the noise of shitty neighbors blasting music at full volume cause they don’t understand that sound travels. Then there are the gunshots every damn morning from dipshit shooting in their field. I’m constantly worried one day a missed shot is gonna come through my window.

Let’s not even get started on when they brun the fucking fields (sugar cane) and the entire area is covered is astringent smoke and ash.

Living in town, people understood that neighbors exist and at least attempted to be considerate about it; plus, I never had to worry about catching strays. Also, life was so much nicer, not needing to fucking drive everywhere just to do basic things or go get something to eat. Being able to walk or catch a bus was so much more convenient and stress-free than needing to drive myself. I was able to have a lot more free time since I wasn’t spending it on an overlong commute just to get anything done.

If I’m any more than a 15 minute walk to my nearest grocer I consider it hell. Fuck needing to pay insurance, maintenance, and gas costs just to be able to perform basic chores.

Needing to waste an hour just to get groceries sounds so dumb.
