  • “Walden (/ˈwɔːldən/; first published in 1854 as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is a book by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon the author’s simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and—to some degree—a manual for self-reliance.[2]”

    It’s his “independence” and “self reliance” parts that make him a hypocrite

    This doesn’t invalidate everything he says and does.

    But it’s really easy to be “independent” when someone else foots the bill for the land you’re living on and you mom does your laundry for you.
