the more I learn about the :ancap-good: :gayroller-2000: guy the more I enshrine the incident in my head as the shining example of the petit bourgeois tantrum, esp since it’s infinitely easier to use in conversation compared to holding an impromptu Class Characteristics of Fascism 301 seminar
I was at a party joking around about this dudes rampage with a friend and his wife overheard us and asked “Wealthy white guy?” and both of us just went :yea:
being 'off-grid' is a class-signifier to these people, its got no relationship to financial capacity (they often own businesses and large tracts of land). theres some truth to 'cash-poor' but in my experience even when they get an infusion of cash they do not use it to ameliorate the obvious (grid connection, sewage, etc.)
If he can afford a brand new bulldozer he was rich. If i had that kind of money i could not work for the rest of my life and spend my time reading and maybe even writing theory.
I worked for a landscaping company one summer where there was one 'customer' that refused to cut the weeds down on his property or pay for it and had threatened employees attempting to do it with a gun, so they sent a patrol car there every summer to guard the weed whackers.
Every time I've done any kind of job out in the 'burbs I'm always edgy for the first few minutes on site because that's the fun time when you get to find out if the property owner thinks the giant van that says "BOBS LANDSCAPING" full of tools and random teenagers and shit is actually coming to rob him.

better not to question the eldritch logicks of small business brain. nests of 'self-reliance', felt entitlement, and petty grudges

From what I recall the town bent over backwards for years trying to get him hooked up, he just wouldn't do it.
