To All Those Americans Who Think They Know Everything About What Is Going On, And Choose To Act Superior To Everyone Else And Do Nothing About It
I love how high and mighty everyone is online and when they speak to people, especially in America. You have the awake and the asleep, and both groups do it.

First, you have the sheeple. They are the masses; they are either too stupid to realize how stupid they are, or they are too complacent to even care about what is going on.

Then, you have the people who are awake - and within that group, the people who know everything, who lecture to everyone else on what they "should" do, or how they "should" live their lives. I am especially fascinated with the people who are always claiming superiority over others because they supposedly "eat all local food" or "hunt for all their food" or "live off the grid" or "don't live in the system"

Today there was a post regarding someone who saw that pork had risen $10 at Sam's Club. Some of the responses that followed were a perfect example of what I am talking about. The lecturing about how you should only buy meat from local farmers, etc.

It doesn't just happen here, or online in general. I hear this from friends and colleagues; people who know a little and are trying to prove themselves as more enlightened and awake then everyone else.

I know so many people who say this and that "go hunting" "grow your own garden" "local farmers markets" "fck the system I won't live in it" BLAH BLAH BLAH.

But when it comes down to it, in their daily lives -- when it comes to actions and not just words -- they aren't all living by what they preach. Most people are just PROJECTING what they WANT and WISH they could do, because the reality is that it is VERY difficult and often VERY expensive to "only buy food from local farmers" or "eat 100% organic non-GMO" or "live removed from the system"

Sorry, just because you don't shop at Walmart doesn't mean you aren't a part of the system.

First off, even when you THINK you are eating all organic - often you are not.

Secondly, it is not always cheaper to hunt and grow your own food when you take into account where you live, how far you have to travel, how much land costs, how much hunting license cost etc.

While most of us (myself included) would LOVE to live this kind of off-the-grid, all-organic, out-of-the-system life, the reality is that we are inherently trapped into it. We can do certain things to minimize its' impact, but we can never truly escape it.

Some people are luckier than others, and have better access and resources for doing so. For instance, I know people who inherited land from their families and therefore have the resources and ability to grow their own food (many of them either also grow food for a living, or they don't work at all and get gov't subsidies in other ways).

I bet that 95% of the people who preach and act all-knowing and self righteous about how they live this way or that way, if you really saw them in their every day lives, they aren't quite as perfectly wonderful as they claim they are -- especially those living in the US.

I understand being prepared for a SHTF life is important, and technically I suppose I am a prepper because I am "prepared". However, we do not live in a SHTF life yet. We are still required to participate in the system to a certain extent in order to survive Most of us need to work and have jobs. And most of us do not have the luxury to have jobs in the country "away from the system" or "off the grid". Sure, there are some people that do, but most of us do not.

And anyway, not everyone SHOULD do this. This country needs more people who WORK, who have dedication and work ethic and a commitment to making our society BETTER -- we already have WAY too many people in this country who aren't contributing and who are lazy and a drain on this country.

The solution is not to just run off, go off the grid, not work, not contribute except to have a small piece of land that you hide out in and grow your own food on -- all day just simply spending your time for the food and shelter you need to survive. I'm not putting down people that choose to do this, everyone has a choice, but in some ways by doing this it is just further fostering a country of people that aren't working and contributing; on one hand, those that suck off the system with welfare, and on the other hand, the people who just leave the system all together.

WE NEED TO TAKE BACK AMERICA, TO THE ROOTS OF WHERE WE CAME FROM; HARD WORK, SELF-DETERMINATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, A COMMITMENT TO OUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, A COMING TOGETHER OF TALENT, IDEAS, AND SOLIDARITY TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN.

Otherwise, the globalists win, and sooner or later no matter where you run to, no matter how "off-the-grid" you think you are -- there will be NO WHERE LEFT TO RUN.

The radiation will seep into all of your food, even if you're growing it yourself. The surveillance that roams the sky will see every last one of you, even if you don't own a cell phone. The militarized police will come for your land because you didn't pay your carbon taxes.

Yes, the system is f*ckd up, and we shouldn't condone it by mindlessly existing in it; this is how it got so f*ckd up to begin with. Americans need to wake up. But, running away is not the answer.

Because sooner or later, THERE WILL BE NO WHERE LEFT TO RUN.

I cannot repeat this enough.

I can tell you I have saved several dozen lives during my years yet far as a physician, and if I just ran away off the grid, the positive things I can contribute to try and help against the evils out there poisoning our water, food, etc. would be gone. And even though I am just one person, and there are many other doctors left, we live in a finite world. A zero-sum game. Something is missing when someone removes themselves from society, and however small it may seem in its totality it is incredibly significant.

And that is true for every one of you, of us. We all have talents and something to offer to make this country better, to fight against this corruption and tyranny, and we should all work hard and be relentless in doing so.

And no matter how much people might think they are living off the grid, or doing everything "right" in how they eat or buy food, or whatever -- the reality is, even now, it is very very difficult to escape being in the system and being adversely harmed by it unless you move out of this country and go somewhere very remote.

My parents live "off the grid" more than anyone I personally know. They own a hundred acres of land in the country, run their house off solar, have their own spring well, grow all their own food, buy meat only from the local Amish farmers, etc -- and yet they are still a part of the system, there is no escaping it. They spend a lot of money and especially spend a lot of time to grow their own food, and even though they grow it themselves and it is all non-GMO and organic --

guess what?

It turns out that pollution from a plant hundreds of miles away is polluting the water. Oh, and good luck escaping the chemtrails and the crap that is in the rain, the rain that waters your food you grow. And you still need to pay your property taxes because if you don't? Guess what? The state will TAKE YOUR LAND AWAY.

SO, tell me, how is THAT living off the grid and being removed from the system?

It's not. Don't fool yourself.

Admit to your limitations, and where you are unwillingly stuck in the matrix of this system, instead of living this projected fantasy where you preach to other people about how they should be living and act like you are so enlightened because you somehow believe you live removed from the system because you have some garden where you grow some food or you hunt during deer season. Only a very, very small percentage of people in the US honestly live off the grid. And don't think it is some kind of badge of honor or intelligence or enlightenment that you are so removed and "beyond" or "above" everyone else because you lecture people about what they do wrong and all the things you do right.

We all have something to contribute, to change this insane tyrannical manipulative society we live in. Imagine if George Washington, or Thomas Jefferson, just said "f*ck it, the British are so oppressive and the system is so f*ckd that there is so reason to even try to change anything" -- and instead of man-ing up, and fighting for liberty and freedom, they just retreated "off-the-grid" and hid out, just waiting for the when the SHTF.

If you don't believe this, if you're one of those people who think "it's all too f*ckd up and I give up", then you need to live in your apathy and truly not care; not post about or be informed on what is going on, not have an opinion on it, because people who do not care would be totally indifferent. And those that don't want to participate in the solution and only want to wallow in the problem are, inherently, the problem.

And anyway, not everyone SHOULD do this. This country needs more people who WORK, who have dedication and work ethic and a commitment to making our society BETTER -- we already have WAY too many people in this country who aren't contributing and who are lazy and a drain on this country.

The solution is not to just run off, go off the grid, not work, not contribute except to have a small piece of land that you hide out in and grow your own food on -- all day just simply spending your time for the food and shelter you need to survive. I'm not putting down people that choose to do this, everyone has a choice, but in some ways by doing this it is just further fostering a country of people that aren't working and contributing; on one hand, those that suck off the system with welfare, and on the other hand, the people who just leave the system all together.

WE NEED TO TAKE BACK AMERICA, TO THE ROOTS OF WHERE WE CAME FROM; HARD WORK, SELF-DETERMINATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, A COMMITMENT TO OUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, A COMING TOGETHER OF TALENT, IDEAS, AND SOLIDARITY TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN.

Otherwise, the globalists win, and sooner or later no matter where you run to, no matter how "off-the-grid" you think you are -- there will be NO WHERE LEFT TO RUN.

The radiation will seep into all of your food, even if you're growing it yourself. The surveillance that roams the sky will see every last one of you, even if you don't own a cell phone. The militarized police will come for your land because you didn't pay your carbon taxes.

Yes, the system is f*ckd up, and we shouldn't condone it by mindlessly existing in it; this is how it got so f*ckd up to begin with. Americans need to wake up. But, running away is not the answer.

Because sooner or later, THERE WILL BE NO WHERE LEFT TO RUN.

I cannot repeat this enough.

I can tell you I have saved several dozen lives during my years yet far as a physician, and if I just ran away off the grid, the positive things I can contribute to try and help against the evils out there poisoning our water, food, etc. would be gone. And even though I am just one person, and there are many other doctors left, we live in a finite world. A zero-sum game. Something is missing when someone removes themselves from society, and however small it may seem in its totality it is incredibly significant.

And that is true for every one of you, of us. We all have talents and something to offer to make this country better, to fight against this corruption and tyranny, and we should all work hard and be relentless in doing so.

And no matter how much people might think they are living off the grid, or doing everything "right" in how they eat or buy food, or whatever -- the reality is, even now, it is very very difficult to escape being in the system and being adversely harmed by it unless you move out of this country and go somewhere very remote.

My parents live "off the grid" more than anyone I personally know. They own a hundred acres of land in the country, run their house off solar, have their own spring well, grow all their own food, buy meat only from the local Amish farmers, etc -- and yet they are still a part of the system, there is no escaping it. They spend a lot of money and especially spend a lot of time to grow their own food, and even though they grow it themselves and it is all non-GMO and organic --

guess what?

It turns out that pollution from a plant hundreds of miles away is polluting the water. Oh, and good luck escaping the chemtrails and the crap that is in the rain, the rain that waters your food you grow. And you still need to pay your property taxes because if you don't? Guess what? The state will TAKE YOUR LAND AWAY.

SO, tell me, how is THAT living off the grid and being removed from the system?

It's not. Don't fool yourself.

Admit to your limitations, and where you are unwillingly stuck in the matrix of this system, instead of living this projected fantasy where you preach to other people about how they should be living and act like you are so enlightened because you somehow believe you live removed from the system because you have some garden where you grow some food or you hunt during deer season. Only a very, very small percentage of people in the US honestly live off the grid. And don't think it is some kind of badge of honor or intelligence or enlightenment that you are so removed and "beyond" or "above" everyone else because you lecture people about what they do wrong and all the things you do right.

We all have something to contribute, to change this insane tyrannical manipulative society we live in. Imagine if George Washington, or Thomas Jefferson, just said "f*ck it, the British are so oppressive and the system is so f*ckd that there is so reason to even try to change anything" -- and instead of man-ing up, and fighting for liberty and freedom, they just retreated "off-the-grid" and hid out, just waiting for the when the SHTF.

If you don't believe this, if you're one of those people who think "it's all too f*ckd up and I give up", then you need to live in your apathy and truly not care; not post about or be informed on what is going on, not have an opinion on it, because people who do not care would be totally indifferent. And those that don't want to participate in the solution and only want to wallow in the problem are, inherently, the problem.

Great Great GREAT write-up.

It reminds me of a conversation I had with my brother about all the U.S. corporations going overseas for "tax breaks" and cheap "slave" labor while Americans needed jobs. He said they HAD to go because they couldn't make it here. WELL HELL, i said, WHY DIDN'T THEY STAY AND FIGHT! I mean really, they just threw their hands up and said oh well, let's just leave all these Americans to fend for themselves and go add to the unprecedented sickening smog in China. And we can pay little girls ten cents an hours! GOLDEN! Like - NO overhead. Yeah, I blame them for turning and running after the almight dollar and selling out America's sovereignty at the same time.

It's the same way with the adoption laws here - "oh it's so hard, all the red tape" - so what do people do? Go bring a pack of little Korean kids and raise them with white parents and no clue of their culture. Then they change with the current fads...do you want a Belize baby? What's the flavor of the week. Why not stay here and fight instead of leaving millions of American orphans to grow up in orphan homes or thrown all over the abusive foster care system?

At what point did we decided it was better to throw our hands in the air and abandon our own country?

OP, make your statements less mixed with MORANITY! I will then try to read through it all.

p.s. America is #1 for a reason, MORAN!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55941339


Look at this shilltard, you are just too cute!

Anyways, I hear ya OP. Some of us need help from others too, not much rhyme or reason to exit the system alone! How boring a life would that be being all free... but alone... ya, I will pass on that. I mean, sure I may suffer a little but I suffer so that I may have a chance to help someone else!

Sometimes you don't need to set an example, you can't set an example EVERY.. FUCKING... TIME... You just go with it, sometimes that means playing along and joining the masses!

Imagine you were to set an example, you have your own place outside of this system. Do you REALLY think people will want to be learn from you? Most if not all will think you are some crazy person or psycho, so really all there is, is to play along with the game and just do what you can!

I think the lead by example is a load of shit honestly... At least in many cases...

Who is going to follow you? Why? Because you can do it? Here is a good example of some SERIOUS BS, I am a vegetarian and I have been for a long enough time that I have PROVEN that you can exist like this for your whole life.... AND no one cares... NO ONE FUCKING CARES THAT YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT KILLING OTHER LIFE!?!?!? WTF!!?!? That to me is a prime example of no one giving a shit that you are leading by example...

There are millions of vegans and vegetarians out there, proof you can live and not kill others... oh wait, FLOWERS HAVE FEELING TOO!

I'm one of the people who preach. I preach because I've earned the right and I am correct in what I tell people.

I live 90% off grid and could go 100% in 30 seconds or less.
I live off my own garden and chickens.
I boycott taxes. I haven't paid income tax in 8 years and I will die in a gun fight if forced to pay or sacrifice. I'm a war vet and I am not afraid to die for my principles unlike most cowards.

I could go on and on about what you should be doing but you'll only make lazy man excuses. One thing is for sure though, if everyone or even most people followed my example this country would run like a precise clock, crim would vanish, and the sick agenda operating in DC would die a quick death.

But instead I will sit back and watch everyone eat their pets when the show drops and I will have little sympathy.
