    i have yet to hear reasons from self-proclaimed “homesteaders” that aren’t about taxes or obama/biden/whatever

        Growing potatoes doesn’t make you a homesteader.

        Thinking that growing potatoes can let you withdraw from society makes you a homesteader.

        Being a homesteader isn’t real.

              “i like gardening”

              “gardening is an extra chore in my life and useless”

              something is not adding up here.

                That’s you, dawg.

                This is a such a frustrating, Reddit, way to interact.

                You clearly didn’t read the meme, aren’t here to interact, but want to comment to fill space. It’s a really sad and empty exchange.

                You might find these resources interesting to learn more about alienation under capitalism.

    Homesteaders are like kids that fling pebbles at the bulletproof glass of the tiger pit. No matter how hard they keep trying, they fail to fully escape the guardrails of modern science and the workers’ movement that protect them from a life that is nasty, brutal and short, they don’t realise that to regress to living “off the grid” is neither possible nor desirable, and they think they are being brave or smart when they are really just a minor nuisance to the rest of society
