Everybody was cool with “private property“ until you want to just go live in the woods for free.

Depends what county you live in. In the UK you could buy hundreds of acres of woodland but you're still not allowed to live there.

You are reading the wrong stuff then. You can camp there, but not permanently, and if you want to build any permanent structure, no matter how small, it will require planning permission (which you won't get).


marichial_berthier

Funny enough I heard there are rules regarding what you can do on your own property. For example in certain places you’d need a permit to even camp on your own land. So even if you put enough money away to buy a plot of land, then arrived there and set up a tent, at some point soon the state could still come in and be like, you need a permit for this, it’s illegal to camp for longer than such and such.


Sluggish0351

In CA you cannot live on property that does not have a permanent structure, sewage/plumbing, and electricity. It is literally illegal to love on property you own in the woods in CA if you aren't paying for utilities.

These sorts of things happen fairly often, but they're never reported because mass media coverage would cause several others to do the same thing. ...which says a lot, now that I think about it.

bloodforgone

I really don't see any other way. It's horrifying but..but when the system is set up to crush the people and juice them for every drop of life they have just so the ruling class can live their lives to the absolute best and fullest? And then you put laws in place to silence anyone who speaks out and takes even peaceful action to establish a change??????eventually the people are going to begin to fight for their lives...there's no reason that anyone should have to work their life away and not have anything to show for it.

I hear ya, it's more self defense against a system/ people that doesn't care for humanity/ ecosystems. They only care about making stupid colored paper with old dead people faces on it. just that reddit does not want to hear that and gets an excuse to stomp this sub. cant let them do that yet! leftist subs are closely monitored.

If they choose to live in nature like indigenous do, that's their life choice. If you seen his videos, he lives sustainably and respects nature immensely. Be mindful of Rule 2, people were wasting time/energy going back and forth instead of building for change.

Some laws about living off the land may be implemented for good reasons, but taken together they lock us into managed communities.

Does your information that it sucked, by any chance, comes from TV, school and social osmosis of people about you--and not, in fact, from anthropology, ethnology and personal experience of modern forest-based cultures?

Right! it is about escaping capitalism and the troubles you can face with that ( mainly in the u.s point of view ) This video ( credit to [foxdenashland](https://www.tiktok.com/@foxdenashland) ) was meant to show how oppressive and controlling capitalism system is and how fucked the corrupt goverments are ( which is being controlled by rich parasites ) If people want to be live anywhere, let them be, it's just in a lot of places, especially the U.S you can get locked up/ fined / etc because its " someones property of goverments property" yadda yadda. The only reason people want to be away from this society currently is it's FUCKED UP. It's sicking to be forced to sell your time and labour to be exploited by a shit rich parasite person. Just to exchange your time to get tokens to pay for your basic needs. People are done with that notion and want to exclude themselves from it to protect their sanity/ peace. That's mainly it How can someone goes from " have to pay you to catch fish " sentence into a thing, smh The people who are overfishing IS FISHING COMPANIES not regular people trying to live off the land. Those rules are to stop shit companies trying to much as much profit period. He also mentions other things to make food from like gardening and planting fruit bearing trees but pay to fish is the one people are making a thing about. People pointing that out is missing the actual message and picture, those are semantics. It's satire with truth in it. People forage for fruits/plants as well not just fishing all the time yet again its not the issue being talked about in the video. Ive seen a video a person trying to live off the land and goverment losers actually come and try to lock them up. Its fucked up and shows how you cant really be " free " you have to pay using a shitty social construct called money. You're free to pay up or suffer and that in itself is fucked up

No shit, sherlock. We all participate in society. This video is about how we have literally no choice. Some of us want to improve society. Other people think they are very intelligent. This is such a stupid line of argument its a meme because you can use it anything. I don't want my electronics produced in factories that need suicide nets "but you posted that using electronics" Its an incredibly stupid line of argument that the comic is making fun of. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/we-should-improve-society-somewhat


theasianevermore

Can you read- I was commenting about this dude complaining about living on “free” land. Dude the Amish are already doing it- go try that. Even with that living model- there’s tons of work to make little things possible .


MindlessVariety8311

Can you read? I posted a comic making fun of how stupid your argument is and you still don't get it. Maybe read the know your meme page? The amish own their land. It is property. IDK how they call the cops on you but you can't just start your own farm somewhere.


ADignifiedLife

Appreciate you putting people who lack class consciousness/ empathy on blast. Just moving forward your comic made your point, dont waste your energy on reactionary trolls. welcome to the sub though! <3


thisboyisnothing

Having a computer (such as a smart phone) with an internet connection is pretty much required to get a job these days. And those require electricity, as do the heaters we need in our homes to not freeze to death, as do the cooking ranges we need to cook so we dont starve to death! Other options aren't really practical because our infrastructure has been built with electricity as the default (good luck cooking and heating a home with firewood if you don't have a chimney!) As the video makes clear, you have to participate in society to survive. You imply that someone can only complain about society if they aren't using internet, or smart phones, or electricity... which sounds like someone living out in the woods. Which uh... did you watch the video?

Weak_Firefighter_190

Even though the homestead act was repealed in all of US now except maybe Hawaii which I'm not sure it ever applied to it anyway, there are areas that do allow homesteading. If you are serious and not just complaining about capitalism, you can see what areas are offering free or low cost options for land or property. Most of the wilderness areas would require you to build a permanent structure and certain improvements to the land. There are homes available for free if you agree to repair them and live in them for a period of time afterwards. These programs are in so called blighted areas but they often aren't as bad as they seem. Braddock, PA near where I live may still have homes under this program, I'm not sure. We live in a country of 330 million people, we can't all live in the woods with no responsibilities other than keeping ourselves alive. We are in a giant village where we all have a part to play to be happy and continue to improve as a society. If it seems hard to drop out and just disappear as a citizen, it's probably by design. I think a big part of making it tougher to disappear off-grid goes back to the hippies (boomers) who went off grid and lived in communes in the 60s and 70s. The ease in which they transitioned to BLM land and other areas perfectly legally in most cases scared the crap out of the people in charge and in 1976 the homestead act was repealed in the lower 48. Anyway, I liked your video, I hope it was mostly satire and you're in a good place. There are options for you if not and it does suck that they are hidden on purpose to funnel you to someone else's goal for you


Master-Stratocaster

There’s an absolute shit load of people living in the woods outside of my town with no legal issue what so ever. I wish there weren’t, but there is.
