Everything that you own had been created within the support and context of society. Your food and water, the service that takes your waste away, the vehicle you drive, the vehicles that deliver your food and clothing, the roads, the maintenance of those roads, the products that you're using to post on this site . . . If it's against your will to contribute to these services, you can choose to live free of all of these societal abominations and live in the forest somewhere. But yes, society has a way of preventing freeloading.

Why is it not possible? Homesteaders are a thing. There are people who choose homelessness.


On whose land are you going to homestead?


There were other points in my post that were a response to your previous post.
