I recently received an email asking me for homesteading advice. I’m not a homesteader. I’m not preparing for doomsday. What I am doing is questioning a system that profits from keeping us isolated and dependent.
In this video, I break down why modern homesteading mirrors the same capitalist system it claims to reject. We talk about how supply and demand gets manipulated, why self-sufficiency culture keeps you spending more, and what mutual aid looks like as an actual alternative.
If you’ve ever felt like the cost of living is squeezing you from every direction, this one is for you.
