    Having 9 kids on a 19th century homestead only worked because 5 would die.

    They specifically want to bring this shit back, along with the wife dying in childbirth so you just get another one from a neighboring kingdom you invade because you're a fucking viking bro.

      They don't understand that the only reason the Amish get away with it is because they can sell shit to the greater society that exists around them and they engage in some tasks as a community. Not endorsing the Amish btw, weird ass cult, just pointing out that without an external society and an internal community it would all fall apart.

      Meanwhile these right wing dorks think a society of tiny homestead fiefdoms would be possible. Lmao.
