Do people here know who this Fat Electrician guy is? Because I’m vaguely familiar with him and his YouTube channel and my instinct is that the majority of us here on lemmy were rather the opposite of him at 15 (libertarian phase or some other antisocial ignorance) and now around 30+ years old the disposition is much more ‘the modern city is in so many ways a marvel of cooperation and achievement.’

From my encounters he is a ‘society bad, the end’ type and not at all a ‘capitalism bad’ type. I guess that is lumpen proletariat? Anyway I’d love to be proven wrong but I was already too red flagged and turned off to dig further into his content.

And this is why you have car-centric infrastructure and suburbia.

Pretty sure that's a post 1900 invention. Trains were the hot stuff in the 1800s

Unfortunately we’re living in a world that no longer has much unowned/unsettled land. Everything has been bought and hoarded by the ultra wealthy.

I would love to move to some US state with lots of forested country and go build a cute little homestead. Work part time to buy things I need.

Mmm...my dream. Also BTW I'm in my early 20's.

Canada has huge tracts of land in the Canadian wilderness.

I need to move to Central or South America. I would love to live like that but I can't stand the cold. This past winter just about did me in mentally.

It's just a dream though. Got family that I love tying me down here.

Someone owns the forest and you owe them rent

[–] Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 15 hours ago

Yes and no. Lot of cheap land out there, very little in taxes.

The bigger problem is someone owns the supplies you need to survive, and there's not a lot of jobs out there to make ends meet.

Its always a good idea to consult your local fat checker to verify these claims.

[–] fembinary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 16 hours ago

Me, Local Fact Checker (who is also very tired and lazy): "seems fine"
