how do you guys feel about the offgrid movement? i think trying to be self sustaining is good, but a lot of off grid people tend to be super conservative religious people for some reason
As industrial society runs up against martial constraints (and the capitalist elites extract more and more from society) the off-grid simplification will become an increasingly attractive way of life IMO.
It's certainly popular with the individualist right-wing nutters atm, but as it becomes more if a necessity and less if a lifestyle choice, I think we'll see that the best way to "prep" for collapse is not a well stocked bunker but a strong community.

But you will likely be sharing the community with non solarpunk wingnuts?

Is that a problem for you?

I guess this must be an American phenomenon; here in Europe the back-to-the land types are all (left) anarchists and hippies.

The single most important thing for a community is that it's members get along. If you want to be in a community with like-minded people, you have to seek them out and start your own community.
i haven't been updating myself on these events, what's up with the off-grid movement? can i get some context like what's been going on so far? on top of that are there any sites/forums/communities that discuss such movement like for example https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/? i find these things really fascinating, thinking of getting a solar panel or making a relatively tiny wind turbine and maybe charge my powerbank or some mobile devices

You can get along with non solarpunk wingnuts?
