Ozimek seems to think self reliance means the same thing as homelessness.

And he thinks homesteading people don’t have families, churches, investments or savings to rely on, not to mention he forgets they pay taxes too...

Maybe he’s just jealous because he has no idea what he’d do if the power went out for three weeks.

Well in all fairness, they are creating a lot of CO2.

The author, Adam Ozimek, did some in-depth research on the sybject:

Sitting in front of a TV watching staged “reality” shows.

Self reliant people don’t end up in a pig sty if someone doesn’t pick up their garbage for a month. Reliant homesteaders can exist without cities. Cities cannot exist without the produce, “stuff”, and financial subsidies - taxes - paid by these homesteaders.

Self-reliance isn’t an all-or-nothing gamble in anticipation of a Mad Max scenario. Many aspects of being self reliant are simple risk management - why have some important part of your life affected by labor strikes in Bangladesh?

It is morally superior, the story goes, to provide for yourself, take care of your own needs, and often, be prepared to survive if society collapses.

As opposed to having someone else provide for you, demand that someone else take care of meeting my needs, and being ready to die if society collapses?

Socialists hate preppers. During WWII, when found, the Nazis would shoot them, calling them hoarders. All must suffer equally!

Forbes writers don’t like self reliant “homesteaders” because they create guilt, anxiety and feelings of inadequacy throughout the “more evolved” 21st century metrosexual community.

It’s similar to the very same people that attack true evangelical Christians for their strict adherence to Bible principles.
