Your comment made me realize that this book is a concentration of the
parts of the blog I generally gloss over -- life philosophy -- and
none of the parts I like -- the homesteading adventures. In her
defense, I think she finished writing it when they had barely just
moved up there. But yes, she does touch on the privilege issues.
Which, tangentially -- I assume you've heard of Mr. Money Mustache. A
friendly warning on that one -- I noped out of him hardcore when he
wrote an incredibly snide post about how he doesn't believe in
privilege. There's a sad amount of that in this particular subculture.
I suspect it is related to the concentration of people who identify as
libertarian and who are really proud of having figured out how to
"gamify" (blech) the system unlike the rest of the sheeple. Not that I
have developed strong opinions about this internet subculture or
anything. So yeah. Her privilege opinions are refreshing.
