Beneath the rural charm of Arkansas’s “back to the land” revival lies something darker.
Conspiracy. Gender control. Anti-government fervor.
This isn’t just off-grid — it’s off-the-rails.
The white wellness ecosystem, fostering family-friendly ‘white wellbeing’
The Normalisation of the Far-Right
"White nationalism, or any other supremacist or ethno-nationalist movement, usually harkens back to some romanticised idea of the past. The past when [white people] 'had power'. The past when the community 'was pure'. The past, when everything was good."
"Built into that is usually the idea of a romanticisation of more traditional ways of doing things, of escaping from modern society, which is usually described in these communities as degenerate … as unwholesome. So the purity, the return-to-nature found in the wellness movement has an inherent appeal to many groups [including] white nationalists."
"....The wellness industry and white nationalism have a common thread of 'purity' and cleanliness. 'We want to focus on having picnics and outdoor meetings and public events that you can bring your family to, where we see our healthy white children running around and being happy, and other people will look at us and see how great and friendly and family oriented and not scary [we are], and not wearing hoods and not sporting swastikas.'""
"Wellness does play into that, in part, because if you're walling yourself off from the rest of the world, you do need your organic coffee and your bar of soap and your hair tonic and whatnot. And these businesses help to create an economic base."

(First published in Spanish in Crítica Urbana magazine. Translated by Mark Burton and Steven Johnson.) Work sharing, the repopulation of the countryside, and the urgent recovery of resilience in the face of pending ecosocial collapse are objectives that can be pursued simultaneously and synergist
Today I stopped by and chatted with one of the old timers and original #Humboldt #BackToTheLand-ers and an OG #WeedFarmer.
He gave me these seeds to try to germinate. They are from 2017. He quit cultivating in 2019. These are his personal line that he's been cultivating since he arrived.
They were originally brought to Humboldt by others who made a botanical expedition to Afghanistan in 1976 to bring back so called "Indica" varieties that ripened earlier and would be more suited to Humboldt County's fall rains than the tropical "sativa" varieties people grew from "bag seeds" in weed that came from Mexico or Columbia.
These seeds have a long story. Preserving and spreading these genetics and the stories of the people who cared for them is part of our mission.
We'll be germinating these now and growing some small plants outdoors this summer so we can make fresh seeds and test the finished flower for potency. We hope to offer them as starts to growers next season.
