Apparently self-sufficiency isn't allowed.

not paying rent is a sin, apparently

[@Fenrires]

It still isn’t- look at recent uk law changes to GRT communities. “Police officers should take care not to hold plate human rights”.

They don't look like they're living in the Stone Age. And they look as good or better than some modern people today!

No flash trailers proper people doing what they done for hundreds of years not living off the state like the so called asylum seekers of today leave them alone

Hmm … sewage?

[@brotherkith]

Have you not heard of composting toilets and digging long drops?

[@Slithey7433]

@@brotherkith Do you really think they had any concern for the environment, enough so that they’d exert themselves to that extent?

[@brotherkith]

@@Slithey7433 I don't need to speculate I know! Try shitting on the ground in the woods near your living space and you will soon find out why.

[@Slithey7433]

@@brotherkith You know? From that one can only draw the conclusion that you were digging shitholes yourself in 1948.
