And I'm not Amish, I don't have an Amish or Mennonite community to support me with all these things. Also the Amish and Mennonite communities still heavily rely on mass-produced goods manufactured in the same factories we all get stuff from. - mass produced pre-packaged foods (they will absolutely buy and consume junk food, I know a former Amish - he literally wrote a book called Growing Up Amish) and we have a ton of them here in Indiana) - hired cars/mass transportation - community telephones - manufactured farm equipment - refrigeration for dairy operations (they have to by law) Amish also have - Alcoholism in their communities, mostly among youth - A good deal of drug use in their communities, mostly among youth Orange is the New Black didn't include an Amish girl just for the novelty of it, the included her because it's accurate. I imagine a good deal of this escapism via drugs and alcohol is a direct result of their lifestyle. And yes, some tribal society in Randomplace also lives largely without modern conveniences but they have the knowledge, they have the experience, in most cases it is all they've never known. My comment was talking about ME, Ryan Mercer, not Generic Human. I can't go claim a bunch of land and set up my own farm/commune/colony, I do not have the knowledge or manpower, I do not have the resources, it is not practical for me or most of the 'first world'.
