My best Advice to You for the Future
Why does Barbara Spector hate people like me? Let's find out.

I'm living in the countryside with my wife and five children. We are homeschooling our children, which means that every time the school inspectors arrive, they are very impressed, because like all homeschooled children, our children are way ahead of the children in school, in pretty much all subjects.

We don't have hot water. We tend to use the sun to heat water in the summer and to some degree spring and fall, and in the winter we heat water with firewood that is obtained from the area very cheaply, or gas. And we will keep using gas as long as gas is available. But when it stops, we will use only firewood from the area.

We have planted several hundred trees on our property. We have a fairly large property and we are using permaculture to try to become as autonomous as we possibly can. We're not yet there because it takes time, but we're getting there.

We have hens of course and I cut our wood myself. Or to be more precise: cut the wood we have purchased from the local peasant. As long as we have gas, I use mainly the chainsaw, but I also use a manual saw, and when we run out of gas in this world I will keep using the manual saw.

We don't have public electricity. We have solar panels, We need and use electricity only to power our refrigerator and computers. And some times power tools. so we are not connected to the electricity web. We do have internet, but we don't have a TV.

We don't have a shower. We don't have a bathroom really. We just use a plastic tub where we wash ourselves. And we don't have a water toilet.

We don't have a dishwasher. We don't have a washing machine. We do all these things ourselves manually. And we don't have stereo. We use our computers for both music and DVDs.

And we make money, but we don't make enough money to be forced to pay income taxes, which means that we don't pay any income taxes at all, zero percent. We have a well. And there are three natural sources within a 1 km radius of where we live.

We're not poor. I mean, there's no reason to pity us. We have everything we need, but we don't pay taxes because we have five children and then the bar is raised. The more children you have, the more you can earn without having to pay any taxes. At least that's the rules here in France. 100% of our income comes from Burzum and MYFAROG.

No matter what kind of jungles they create in the cities, the countryside remains calm and pleasant and European. And that's a real nightmare to them. So my advice to you is to move to the countryside. Start a family and live there. Try to become as autonomous as you can and instead of worrying about not making enough money, you should worry about reducing your needs from money. Because the less money you need to survive, the less dependent you become and the less you sponsor their evil criminal regimes. That's the best term we can use for them.

When shit hits the fan, when everything goes ad undas, the families in the countryside will do best. They will be the most likely to survive. If they're pretty much autonomous, they will not be affected too much by the sewage that is created in the cities and other urban areas or semi-urban areas by our politicians. This is a free area, a European area where you have hunters and dogs and plenty of animals and nature and trees and firewood and energy and everything you need to survive isolated.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. I mean don't, you can still have internet and use it as long as it works. You can still use gasoline as long as it works. You have to make some sacrifices or rather you have to make use of some of the services that are still available. But by and large try to become as autonomous as possible and the most important thing is not to cut off all the good things about civilization, but to ensure that when you no longer have them, you are able to survive anyhow. You need to not become dependent on them. So don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Thank you for watching. Bye. Bye.
Barbarism is the natural state of mankind. Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph
