Hey, I’m not disagreeing with you here, but keep in mind none of those things are necessary for survival, and most such products can last decades if properly maintained.
I think you’re arguing against the most extreme interpretation of what this person said.
To give you an example, I’ll show you what it looks like if I were to interpret your comment in the same way:
In some capacity, you have to admit, self sufficiency is possible. Forged metal, magnets, and batteries aren’t necessary to sanitize water, grow, forage or hunt food, or to build shelter.
It doesn’t have to be a compromise
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Any change to appease you would be a compromise, you understand this, yes?
Me too, though, while I’ve seen him be critical of tactics, admittedly I’ve never seen JCS do an entire episode about crimes committed by the police themselves.
