So, there is no 'fear' at all among 'real' homesteaders? No concern of the future, no dependence on outside forces? That is not what I have read from 'anyone'. Also, I imagine a 'survivalist' can 'love' the land while worrying of the future or 'fearing' forces beyond their control. I love the land and I am neither -- nor do I see much insight from much of the recent spate of group labeling. Some survivalists sites are primarily inhabited by urbanites, some by rural farmers and homessteaders.
A fearless, loving, independent self-reliant "whatever' doesn't need to try to seek approval by disparaging the other. There is crossover bewtween many of these groups. If a person is fearless and self-reliant, then great; but that person will not be wassting their time disparaging similar groups of different orientation.......
