The article in question might be the case of a writer not knowing what he is talking about, and speaking more from personal prejudices than from a position of knowledge.
What is argued is that “homesteaders” or others who live ‘off the grid’, that being highly self-sufficient and rather low-tech, are a drain on society as it is alleged that they frequently take advantage of social services and the other things modernity provides without contributing anything of value to society.
