A waste of time.
I don't want to sound too hard on these people since it is capitalism that is indirectly responsible for their defeatism and survivalist philosophy. We all tend to look for 'shortcuts' when we are frustrated. But most of us in the lower classes are not going to deal with our problems simply by trying to separate ourselves as much as possible from them (which is unsustainable in the long term). We are going to deal with our problems through class warfare. If you don't believe me, look at all the strikes in the imperial core.
Ironically, their philosophy is not much different from what neofeudalists propose to anybody who is unhappy with capitalism: grow your own food, make your own shelter, generate your own power (if you need any), recycle everything, and so forth. In this respect, it shares a similarity with Herzlianism and other separatist philosophies in that it merely separates people from the problem rather than tackling it. We are seeing how sustainable that is, and given capitalism's need for a workforce, trying to live outside of it is not sustainable either. All the police have to do is arrest you (presumably for 'vagrancy').
