It doesn't require self-sufficiency, but it does require that you bring something useful to the table of whatever subculture you want to become part of. The subculture as a whole, though, needs to be reasonably self-sufficient, though.<br /><br />Such as a stable, functioning religious organization that has stood the test of time, for example.Nakajima Kikkanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-38455018760143420872014-02-28T10:05:35.968-06:002014-02-28T10:05:35.968-06:00Resistance requires will power and self-sufficienc...Resistance requires will power and self-sufficiencyCNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-29177070868564560062014-02-28T09:29:53.985-06:002014-02-28T09:29:53.985-06:00One of the curious things about the technological ...One of the curious things about the technological junk of the last 50 years is most people don't know enough to evaluate it.

In the society we live in now, where economic life is completely dependent on debt-fueled consumption, where most institutions that supported individual well-being and family life have been shredded, where the old religion becomes less and less relevant to people's daily lives all the time, but no other religion is able to step up to replace it, where LIfe Itself seems to have no meaning beyond mass consumption, hoe economics is the inevitable outcome. American schools don't do home economics any more.<br /><br />Resisting hoe economics, personally or as a family, at this point requires withdrawal into a subculture whose members mutually support each other in such resistance.Nakajima Kikkanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-73541253172568190832014-02-28T05:56:49.012-06:002014-02-28T05:56:49.012-06:00No higher-profile media is ever going to acknowled...No higher-profile media is ever going to acknowledge the non-PC truth.
