"Activist". Waste of time. Accomplished nothing. Net negative outcome for society.
Also I think it's "Soldiers of Odin", y'all keep saying "Sons of Odin" These assholes are nutjobs too.

I will admit, that's pretty fucked up. Something about seeing children's stuffed animals, knives, graffiti, and needles, awful optics. Quote:

Saving tens of thousands is pretty rare today.Being freed is having the choice. There is something quite artificial in society, but the real control system at its core is in financial systems, and the dictatorship of land rights. At birth we are just assumed to believe that we all "owe" money to somebody else on the planet, for having a roof over our head.
I am deeply curious to the period in history that "invention" of residence turned into regulation. There must have been a point where we all just had groups of housing built where we choose, then someone said "oh no, all land is preowned and financial authorites must regulate the freedom of all familes to exist on the planet". Everytime i tried to go in depth on reddit, some clever people have referred to this on Vandwellers as "Fiduciary, Statism, Feudalism". I however am more trying to comprehend how the masses gave all their power (at birth) to a system that does not formally explain in detail it motives, nor how some rule others, justice is selective, corruption exists and power rules over common truths. Most people are "aware" of some crony capitalism dictating what their tax money is spent on, but are ineffective and limp. Vandwellers, and Vandwelling as i have lived for nearly 3 years, is just exercising a choice that most people do not really identify as being valid or possible. I have a sense of adventure, a buzz of adrenaline for simply havng a comfortable bed that i can rest my head, eat in, and work online without someone demanding money. The fun then is having total peace, not being afraid of totalitarianism governments, and judging from youtube videos, people (or hippies), seem to akin to Buddhism. Well, its more like a Buddha with thirty thousand stuffed in their pockets.
It is my supposition (and probably up to 98% of the worlds population), that it is inherently our human right to just have a home, be it fixed or on wheels. If you are born on planet Earth you have the total right to rest you head under a roof panel, which you can determine for your own life. The fact that does not exist, explains quite alot of human history/ geography/ geopolitics / laws /determinism and free will and ultimatiely war.
Some people believe without hierarchy, society cannot run effectively, when in fact it is hierarchy that causes the deepest problems of our current time.
In the UK here they are rolling out 50 year mortgages. That is right, a financial contract for the whole of your active working life. Once you have travelled past your first border out of a country, the world of getting an income as a digital nomad now offers a new freedom that alot of people, potentially many hundreds of millions could access.
It is really how limited people lock in their perspective and Vandwellers get another insight into human lifestyle that is fullfilling. If anything Vandwelling gives people to option to discover if they wanted to live in another country different to where they were born. Another plus for Vandwelling is that if it is no longer appealing they can change it. Everyone should try a different lifestyle, of freedom, for a period in the life.
My story is that my elderly parents were cheated in a ponzi fraud of their life's accumulated (potential) wealth. They remortgaed their two properties to a conman, who preyed on the gullible and elderly. What was more disastrous for my old parents was that every government agency designed to prevent the crime and carry out justice did nothing, despite the evidence of it having happened. So my poor elderly parents, now in the mid eightees are still working to pay for what is just existing. I tried reporting this to every single police/ specialist department and none one responds. Literally the system has allowed the crime to be gotten away with, and now more victims are being conned of the wealth. Corruption has blatently happened to us and a system that pretends to look after you, when actually put to the test does not.

I think the needles are for heroin.
