You’re right, subsistence living in an individual level is impossible. There’s a lot of Americans though, and they could do subsistence living if they worked together. Again, you and I aren’t disagreeing. We just need to make sure to use the right words. Even if subsistence living isn’t a commonly held thought, it’s one with a more positive connotation than Isolationism. We should use words with negative connotations to describe negative bills
Yes, you’re right. I’m being pedantic. I should have forewarned that, my bad.
And you’re also right that people tend to tune out negative words. At first, sure. But, assuming you’re American, I bet I could cause some cognitive dissonance in you if you I use the right ones. Isolationism isn’t one of those yet, but in 30 years we need that word to sound the same as “Feudalism”

All right so you were just being pedantic.
Because my examples did not make it sound appealing lol
And I personally prefer to use neutral words, as folks have a lot of defense mechanisms toward words with negative connotations.
Meaning, they will just tune it out.

No you did mention maybe you’re being pedantic, that’s why I brought it back up I wasn’t trying to be a bitch lol
And yeah, isolationist really is a more accurate term. However I’m thinking that the right has indoctrinated their voter base against it.
I don’t have hard evidence for that argument, it’s just the vibe I get living here.
