    The role of disabled people in society. If we all have to have jobs, what about people who can't have a job, and never will? How do they survive? As I grew up, the experience of some close family taught me the answers to these questions... and they are far worse than most people think. Knowing someone with a permanent disability is a recipe for instant radicalization.

      But the chuds will always insist the people on government assistance are eating steak and lobster everyday. They are so confident in their wrongness.

          What is the relationship between being at the library and having a home? Do they just mean free internet access to look around? Like people are just handing out housing if you ask politely?

            Well obviously no one's just handing out housing, if you want it you have to slay the librarian in single combat, then you become the new librarian and you can live at the library, problem solved.

              Just do the ancap thing and assert that the librarian isn’t using the land productively and then the non-state will enforce the NAP and evict the librarian.

                I mean if we're going by fantasy rules like "lol farming buffalo isn't productive, lets specicide them and grow cattle instead" just get the god-princess to allow you to live in the library while you complete research for your graduate degree.
