Sick of politics? Move off the grid
The residents of Riverbed Ranch intend to vote in this year’s elections, Gleason assured me. But there was an air of disinterest when I asked. Gleason’s project is not to amass political power, he said, but to break free of dependencies — on food chains, on power grids, on government. “We’re not tax protesters. We don’t have a militia,” he said. “We just want to live off the land.”

@corlin Yeah, right. "Apolitical" just means "the way things are has worked out pretty well for me so don't talk to me about how it might be improved."
I find it hypocritical to talk about "living off the land" when your government took it away from its original inhabitants and now defends your right to it. Living off whose land?
