    Sometimes I wish I could understand why people want this. I grew up in the middle of nowhere and it’s taught me that some REALLY fucked up things can be visited upon you by the 2 or 3 neighbors you have living 20 miles away and not even guns can save you.

      If you really want an understanding I’d recommend watching the first season of Alaska: The Last Frontier

      I fucking hate people. I’d be tempted to set traps on my property so I never have to see people. Come at me neighbors

        you’ll get one or 2, but the rest will just cut off your supply to water/food and wait until you come out from dehydration or starvation and then get what they want from you.

          Yeah this is why I’d like to be close enough to civilization to have city water.

          But if you actually threaten my family’s right to stay alive, you just lost yours. I have no qualms about being a psychopath if I have to.

          Just leave me the fuck alone.

            it’s easier to shut off your water if doesn’t come from a natural source and your chances are almost negligible against the majority; much less against an imported army.

        it’s the same story as it is every where capitalism is in charge: rich people want to get richer by taking land that isn’t theirs; they get the local gov’t to cut off water and salt the land to make people leave; then people leave.
