To say something very general, I think a fair number of people invested in the "present system" hate any advice they come across to help people live outside of and independent of that system. Wasn't there another viral thread a month ago about generally growing some of your own food that provoked a little outrage mob (with many of the objections, in true internet-fallacy style, coming down to the fact that since it was impossible to become 100% self-sufficient, it was apparently pointless to bother doing anything to make yourself even a little more independent)? The statists and technocrats don't like the idea of helping people live without them. Dependent people who enjoy being dependent people don't like to see others becoming more independent.

Revisiting this. Was ahead of its time.
