By the way, I read y'alls comments about survivalists...it was enough tomake me want to unsub since I came to this list as a survivalist. You guys aren't very tolerant of us survivor types and you forget that people can change.
Very Obamist of you, Bev, the change stuff.
Survivalism/escapism is not only not the same thing as homesteading, it is the polar opposite. Survivalism is looking for a general cataclysm (as escapism is looking for a personal one) before it goes into effect then its is to survive to the other end of that cataclysm
until times are "normal" again and life can resume more or less unabated.
is a lifestyle that works during "good" times, bad times, and cataclysms. Homesteaders are not waiting for the end of anything. If
times change, we continue homesteading as always.
I've lurked on many, many a homesteading, farming, gardening, frugality and preparedess site. People attach homesteading as being kindred spirit or even part and parcel to a great many things ranging
from white supremacy to polyamory.
Bev, I'm glad that an interest in survivalism led you to look into homesteading. But you did not, did you, come to the list insisting that survivalism was the same thing as homesteading ... or worse, play the troll by telling homesteaders that they had no room to comment on your suvivalist tendancies because they were disingenuous fakers themselves?
