I know there is a certain of good visibility that comes with these videos but it’s so bleak we have entire sub-genres of content/vlogs of people chronicling their experience in being unhoused/homeless (I don’t know the correct term) and people watch it for entertainment purposes. That is some real 1999 cyberpunk novel shit
Not just entertainment, they watch it because they find it aspirational
I am included in they, I am converting a vehicle to live in because I've never had a job with legit vacation time or the money to go on vacations, so why not work remotely on the road. Beats wasting my life doing the exact same shit every day in a place I hate.
If that works for you I genuinely and sincerely hope it works in your favor. Stay safe and be well. If you escape out of this Matrix or at least enter a slightly less shittier matrix I am all for it. No jokes or sarcasm, if that plan helps you live a life worth loving then Godspeed friend.
However I still think it’s really stupid we have a society that fails to provide any semblance the dignity we truly entitled to. People shouldn’t have to live in cars (unless they so choose) we got plenty of houses, condominiums, apartments, lofts and other living accommodations that go are empty or are rented out at extreme prices.
Well I'm here on the leftist website, of course I think it's awful that this is my only option for travel and "vacation". No amount of joining a political organization is going to grant me that freedom in my lifetime, so here I am, doing the thing.
feels like gentrification/commercialization of "homelessness" as a lifestyle. All the affordable vans have been bought up by people making 50k+ a year to turn into vacation homes, pushing the segment of homeless people that could have otherwise lived in a van back to the street.
Most of them are rich influencers who can stop at any point. They usually have bougie high end vans built specifically for living in.
Oh word? I was unaware they were role-playing. I see so many of those thumbnails online and don’t click on them out repulsion of the premise. There is a lot of stuff online I don’t think should be viewed/engaged with/consumed so I don’t personally. It just feels like a gross blend of “Hustle Culture brought to its illogical extreme” + old-school voyeurism + “uplifting content that actually super depressing because it captures the failure of capitalism in 1440p”
Fuckin’ hell that is miserable motivation and means to do anything. It’s so lame that it’s not even on some super heavy theory marxmindset it’s just for some California clout chasing.

:fidel-salute: just be safe in this venture comrade. Also I respect that sort of steadfast commitment.

"slumming" for bougie people living like the poor for curiosity, amusement, and now clout chasing...
