@judgedread I love it when people romanticize the Amish like we could just make the whole USA Amish and not be taken over in a few minutes.
“Incidentally, it was this very subject that caused Alex Linder to chimp out on me back in the summer of 2020. Linder at that time was starting to go full Covington and encourage people to quit their jobs, move out of cities, and live in comparative poverty in rural areas in Missouri where he just happened to live himself. I told him how stupid it sounded that everyone should abandon their lives and surroundings and move to Pigshit Plains USA and larp as the Amish just because he happened to see an occasional Mennonite litter scampering around the local Aldi store. He raged at me and disavowed me after that.”
Alex Linder :linder_glowie: :
“Just impoverish yourselves and live as morally pure rural peasants. Dat will get you powah ‘n sheeeit!”
@Starprophet @admin Just seems like a particularly stupid way of being a coward, no? I get the wanting to eat fresh foods and commune with nature shit but not believing God made us to invent things and get Marshall McLuhaned by our creations is just hilariously stupid. There is no going back.
