This Really Bummed Me Out

There is mean spirit on the Internet., it's popular and people like complaing and some even enjoy hurting others. Zero tolerance is the way

Don't forget to THUMBS UP!!

Jack you are preaching to the choir.. I don’t agree with him all the time either.. But I still watch his videos..
It’s a sad state of affairs now..
There is way too much hate..
Hate is evil.. plain and simple..
There is nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree and still enjoying that relationship with that person…
Hate is not Gods way.. There I said it..
Thanks for rambling with us..
Go 603

I don t homestead , but raise birds , and did have a Farm earlier in my life and I have learn t so much from all you different Homesteaders, but no one has to be mean to any of you , Thanks for making this video, no one needs to be a Jerk ,

keep doing what your doing man... be blessed

How rude

Eh, you got the right to draw a line. Some people are just completely sly about being selfish, it takes awhile to catch on.

We are in such a mess! We are trying to grow and raise good food not argue politics! This is not the platform for it!

Tell that to Morgan Gold. He is quick to bad mouth anyone he does not agree with. As much as I want to support Homesteaders of New England, having that tedious click bait fraud there just undermines the whole event.

I hate where we have gotten as a society and unfortunately social media is partly to blame. We are being pushed to be on one extreme or the other on EVERY issue and being pushed to hate/cancel anyone on the opposite side from us. I have many great friends that are polar opposites on some, or even many, issues. We agree to disagree on those issues and focus on the things that bring us together. My next door neighbor is a good example. If we fell to the current cancel culture, we would hate each other. We are completely opposites on almost every political issue. But he is a good neighbor. We help each other when needed. We loan equipment and tools. We look after each others property and receive packages....we are neighbors. Our society is forgetting how to be neighbors.

Don’t let people get you down. Most folks just want to stir the pot. I’d love to attend your event, but, sadly, I’m in North Carolina. If you ever start up an Appalachian Homesteaders group then I’ll be there. Best of luck with your get together and keep the great content coming.

LOL word vomit, never heard that one before, for some in this age it is amazing that 2 people could be friends and have differing opinions about some issue any issue but isn't that what real friends can do, be different AND have conversations while respecting the fact that they do not agree on a few things, my wife and I don't agree on everything, life would be boring if we did. I ignore haters they are not interested in conversation they want you to comply or they will hate on you also.

Knowledge is Knowledge, political views have nothing to do with learning homesteading. I've notice people can be massive a-holes online but would never have the balls to say anything in real life to your face. I'm excited for HONE, riding the motorcycle up from upstate New York

This is why the hippie communes never worked. I love your channel and if I wasn't 2000 miles away I would be there. People have always fought over ideas, and always will. Do your thing and please don't let this get you down, love ya brother!

I was looking into travel for the event in September, hoping to buy ticket this week. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s opinions on homesteading

You're doing H.O.N.E. on the same weekend as Flags On The 48 so I will be on top of Mt. Pierce. Good luck with the event.

VERY well spoken Jack! It's always amazing how brave/mouthy some people are on social media, but yet they're not if it's face to face. I love the fact that you're devoting so much time for such a worthy cause of homesteading. If I wasn't half way across the country, I'd be there at the event. Working together for the common goal is always better than letting petty issues divide and destroy each other. So, you GO Jack and don't stop doing what you're doing. It DOES make an impact on a LOT of people.

I went last year BECAUSE of you and Morgan!

Agree about neither party’s got it goin on

Those same people complaining on Facebook are being hypocritical complaining about views that "Facebook" agrees with yet they are using Facebook to do the complaining. Just because someone doesn't agree with you on 100% of your views doesn't mean they don't have something to offer.

If I was in New England I would totally be there!! Thank you for this video. I feel like this is pervasive everywhere, not just homesteading. So much division and being mean to people with other views and what not. Well spoken sir 👍🏻

Totally agree with you! I’m not from your area, but this is everywhere.
We need to be nice to everyone! We all have our opinions and struggles. Stop being so judgmental! Love one another!
Blessings!

Thank you - Love Morgan and even if I didnt we all need to get over ourselves and see what's important in life- Thanks for video.

Good words! Trying to do something good for everyone is a good thing! Stay the course!

Morgan Gold goes out of his way to make (some) videos that target people or groups. I use to watch all his videos, but he began to run with a constant theme; which was him picking a fight on video with a person or group. The last video I ever watched of his was when he went to the Homesteaders of America conference and recorded himself at John Lovell’s speaking event. I’m sure knew exactly who John was, and I am sure he had an Idea what the “ warrior poet society” is all about. He sat there and mocked John as he spoke and made his video about “what does this have to do with homesteading.” I don’t watch the WPS videos, but I know who he is. For what ever reason, the HOA conference chose to have him there and speak. Morgan took that opportunity to mock another speaker. So….Jack, I like your videos. You seem like a nice guy. You seem like a respectable guy, but you are defending a person who does what you say shouldn’t be done.

Agree 100% Jack. We live in frustrating times. I hope that all of the speakers and attendees are treated with respect, and that your event is a smash success. 👍🇺🇲

I stopped watching your channel because of Morgan, I attended your event last year had a good time actually rented a vender space. As much as I appreciate you holding the event my family and I will not be attending because of Morgan and I know a lot more will not attend either. He is too outspoken, bad mouths a lot of other channels and speakers. Tell him and I'm telling you stick to Homestead topics please. Most people I know watch and are getting into Homesteading to get away from the ploitics.Good luck Jack, We are moving out of the ever becoming communist area the of New England. Good luck once Sunu leaves. New Hampshire was the last hold out, its gone too.

Oh the wonderful political plague we live in. We can’t be anything until we’re divided. Kudos to you and your approach at negating the bickering

Well said! We don't have to agree with people with all their beliefs to be their friend or learn from them.

100% spot on. Looking forward to the fall gathering in a few weeks!!!

I wouldn’t call myself a homesteader but I do have chickens and I love growing/preserving the things I grow. I enjoy Morgan’s channel and I also enjoy your channel. Outside of growing/preserving and having chickens I don’t identify socially(politically) or religiously with most of the homesteading community out there. I do like the videos even though I don’t ideologically agree with most of the people I watch.
I must say when I started watching these types of videos I found the pervasive fear mongering a little weird. I mean if the SHTF was gonna happen who was better prepared than people who were close if not mostly self sustaining. I quit watching a lot of these channels… couldn’t stand the content or the comments. I’m also an atheist but I don’t care what people believe but it does seem that the religious crowd in the homesteading community want to be very insular which to me is the opposite of what this community should be about.

Anyhoo… good on you for having this event and speaking up. I hope your event is very successful!!!!

You are correct. Absolutely NO PLACE for it. I watch and admire all the homesteading videos as it is my dream (even at 65) to homestead very soon. There's so many ways to homestead and I admire each and every one of you for what, and how, you do them!!! POLITICS SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN IT. CHILL OUT. Keep doing what you are doing Mindful Homestead! And thank you!

All good. People have been allowed to be polarized. Sadly. Most Americans want nothing more than to be American. That means being allowed to make your own decisions about your own family, life, etc. I was always taught to listen to everything and use what you can throw away the rest. People need to realize that our country is falling apart because we cannot agree to disagree and move on with our lives. And of course there are occasions to just stay away from each other.

Don’t let the negative comments get to you Jack. There will always be those that have to comment against others. It’s the nature of being a human unfortunately, it’s what you do with that information that guides you. We love you here at our farm in Hudson. Hope to make it to the gathering to meet you and all the speakers.

certain things? it's the bear hunting w/ dogs, right? not controversial btwn left/right, but rather btwn hunters/landowners. i challenge ANY right wing 2nd amendment enthusiast to welcome strangers w/ guns and dogs onto his/her property at all hours.

I agree 100%

Very much this Jack! We need to elevate one another, not tear each down. Thanks for speaking up.

Miserable people have become the norm everywhere. Kudos to you for not allowing it. You can disagree with someone’s point of view without being a total jerk.

To better control the Mosquitos try creating a habitat for Bats ! Back in the 1990s here in Western NY we had bats that would skim the surface of our neighbor's swimming pool in search of hovering Mosquitos ! At Lowes and Home Depot they sell Mosquito Dunks or develop a safer homemade formula to block them from reproducing. Raising Quail for the purpose of letting them graise to eat the Tick population is a interesting idea as well.

I agree 100% . I believe the complainers are all victims of Network news Propaganda of Fear Porn and they want to project all the fear they absorb. Many times they are also sad they are not accomplishing anything meaningful in their lives. Thank you for providing helpful information for anyone in New England. Regarding Weather, I sing the weather forecast I want and I ban those cloud seeding aircraft in my prayers. We definitely have more sunny days as a result. Rememeber the Movie Patton when he requested a weather prayer from the chaplain. Focus on enjoying the journey.

Ain't nothin to talk about, stop trying to use big words big Bubba.. just show your pigs and share what you do.. men don't care what's "mean" it is what it is... if you think it's mean then grab a tampon

Civility also entails not saying that someone's choice of livestock breed "stinks."

Excellent excellent video. A-freaking-men.
