    “And if you have any sort of mobility problems and literally won’t be able to get to stuff in your tiny Rubik’s cube of an apartment, you can just go fuck yourself!”

    Think big by thinking small.

    If we seize the property of only around 100 men that is essentially 50% of the world’s productive capacity liberated then and there!

    (numbers based on pre-wwii cartels where 100 men owned 2/3 of the industry in UK, US, and germany)

      This reminds me of arguments in the russian dumas between the 1905 revolution and WW1, where S-D’s and trudoviks counted that if the land of just 30000 top landowners got confiscated, leaving them with still more than enough land, all other peasants in Russia would get their land basically doubled.

    You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your home, your things, your experiences until at last we can put you into the VR pods and complete the total alienation.

    I kinda like the idea of tinyhomes. But only because im a stickler for aesthetics.

    I would love a lofted tinyhome with a sunroof, solar power, and a cozy living space.

    However… I would prefer a second or a doubling of the size of a typical tinyhome for a space for activities such as fitness and crafts.

    But trying to encourage tinyhome living to poor folks or trying to make pod living a thing is awful. Just no.

    I currently live in a 900/1000 square foot lofted apartment with a spouse. It’s just enough space for two people.

    If anything should be championed about tiny homes, it’s for ecologically friendly living.

      As someone who is drowning in books, hell no, tinyhouse would be a nightmare for me. The idea itself centers around basically no room for anything except base necessities. You sleep, shit, cook, eat in one single cramped space. Not unlike a cell actually.

      No, this is new line they are pushing. I see it more and more often.

      Or rather, it’s the oldest story ever, if you can’t fulfill your needs, downgrade your needs! Eat less, work more, lazy peasant! Thing is, they aren’t even peddling the bootstraps nonsense much, they just want all of us to be slaves.

      For the upper middle class, absolutely. Their suburbs are hellscape, their houses gaping abysses where every family member can isolate and slowly rot away in, wasteful in every sense.

      As someone who lives in a 1 bedroom apartment with my girlfriend, it’s less size for me and more price. Prices are just stupid.
