I've heard a lot of stuff from the folk lately about how we shouldn't do things like make zines, or post on websites, or even talk about really, how to get started living this sort of lifestyle.
Don't teach people how to dumpster dive, or there'll be no goodies left for us, don't talk about squatting or they'll all get blown, etc, etc.
Can't you people see that this isn't a logical way of thinking?
I can understand you not wanting a bunch of oogles running around fucking things up for you in places where you've got good situations. But that doesn't mean we should stop trying to convert people to a life that obviously moves the world in a better direction.
You know what happens when we get people scavenging and forgaging? Maybe they see that it's illogical for food to be locked up, and we get more of a free economy when it comes to the basics.
You know what happens when you move people into empty houses? People stop honoring bank foreclosures and move the fuck back into their HOMES and stop seeing a roof and warmth as a luxury. Maybe they start seeing it as a right that they'd fight to protect.
I'm SO SICK of this crustier-than-thou, I've-got-this-many-miles-under-my-belt, pretentious, fucking asshole attitude that some of these kids have. It's not a secret club. Everyone is allowed.
Most people live this way for a reason. Travelers have all kinds of personal politics, but I think most of us share common views on certain things.
Most of us don't like basic necessities being withheld in order to force the people in this culture to be submissive, complacent, overstimulated slaves, AFRAID of not being warm and fed and loved, forever oppressed by a faceless government puppeted by the rich greedy CEOS of demonic corporate entities that destroy the planet and make the world a generally shitty place to live.
When we find a way not to participate in all that bullshit so much, we shouldn't hoard it for ourselves.
We should all spread the message that there's hope for freedom in this life.
