- mahogany 3y agoThere is not a dichotomy between a post-Industrial Revolution society and living in the woods.
- jacquesm 3y agoNot a chance of that around here. And with any solution you have to ask yourself: does it scale? What if the current population of the earth would want to live in a log cabin in the woods? The woods would no longer be the woods.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoyou have to ask yourself: does it scale? You don't have to ask yourself that because almost no one actually agrees with this person that the 'industrial revolution had disastrous effects on the human race'. They don't even believe it. What if the current population of the earth would want to live in a log cabin in the woods? They don't and no one said anything about that. The woods would no longer be the woods. That's what we have now because that's what people want.
- asdf6677 3y agoThe government will reclaim the land unless I pay for it with money I make from the system. It’s not possible to opt out anymore. They stole the land too but my guns are smaller. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/matthew-clarke-youtube-cabin-ensley-creek-1.6389899 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/matthew-clarke-youtube-...
- CyberDildonics 3y agoYou could work at a job and then buy land outside a city, thus beating the system. This is something other people have done.
- mahogany 3y agoYou still need to pay property tax in perpetuity (in the US at least). Taxes can only be paid with USD aka “system money”, so you’re not really outside of the system in this situation. Plus there is eminent domain. The only way to avoid needing system money would be to live on national land for free, but then you cannot have a permanent dwelling like a cabin.
