Years ago, I got into prepping. Sometime after that, I developed an interest in homesteading. Now I also have an interest in off the grid living. An idea that I have been rolling around in my head over the past few months is that off the grid living can be a solution to a lot of problems you get in the world. Are you a white nationalist/ alt right? You could do with at least considering living of the grid. Your governments are against you, they serve international corporate interests. They have the state under their control, and they have an army of childish, fanatical, tyrannical, leftists, who support them. How does living off the grid help you? Or anyone else for that matter. It helps by you learning how to live independently from the mainstream society. If you can acquire food by growing your own. Or hunting and gathering. You won't be buying it all from shops and supermarkets. If you can get water from filtration or distilling. Burn wood for heat. Use solar panels to get your electricity. Instead of getting all of this from utility companies. Taking measures like this can cut off money to governments, but only if enough people do it. But this can help you achieve at least some independents from the system, if you can do it. This idea is not just for white nationalists. This is for anyone who will find it useful. If you are a MGTOW. You might want to turn your back on this whole system. This idea might be useful to Libertarians. This could also be a solution to the increasing poverty that you get in at least some parts of the west. As I said, this can cut off money to the government. If people were to do what I envision here. They would either reduce or eliminate all financial interactions between themselves and the system. If they can do the things I have described, to gather food, and use solar panel and wood as their fuel sources. They could in doing that, reduce or eliminate their need to earn money, (which would be taxed.) which they would other use to buy these things from companies that would be taxed along with their workers. Some people live off the grid in houses. You will still be taxed if you do this. But there are people who live off grid without a house. There are people who live in RVs, sailboats, and narrow boats. With narrow boats, it is people in the UK who live in these on the UK's canal system. In America, people live in house boats on the rivers in that country. The main reason why people live off grid at the moment, or at the very least prep, is because they believe that a day is coming when society is going to collapse. So if you take such measures, you should be able to handle a situation like that as well. This would be extra handy if in such a situation, the government were to really impose themselves on people. As I said earlier, this is an idea I having been thinking about. Will it work as I have described? I can't say for certain. I'm sure that you the reader will decide for yourself. Perhaps you have some ideas to add to this. If so feel free to share.
Off the Grid.
