I read the link to some post-peak guy on curtana's page. I read some of the people posting responses, and I just shake my head. I agree with you, it is too much to conceptualize caring for more than a certain circle of people. Who could care, who could care for 99.9999% of the rest of the population? Why should you?
Don't let any of that make you feel bad for doing what you feel you want to do no matter what motivation. Someone in there, maybe in the link page and not a responder knocked the back-to-the-land movement. That really pissed me off. Maybe what you want to do is healthier than remaining in a city. For the love of god, we'll all be dead if anything ever shakes out anyway, why argue about it? I'll tell you why I do. Because of my children, and my friend's children.
I really think it boils down to people in a city thinking they have the best model for living and if anyone abandons that lifestyle, they are judging those who stay behind.
