An older term would be Pinoeer or Explorer.
It's a quandry. Thre's really no where left on Earth you can live like humans lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Not that I would choose to. But we're suposed to be all "free" and stuff. Yet, as noone said, we're compelled to live in a Capitalistic system. We're not "free" to say otherwise unless we're willing to live pretty badly, as parasites on socieity.
Not sure where you live, but in Europe, at least you would probably get single payer health care. And here in the U.S., living in the park, or anywhere else you don't pay for, is illegal. But you can get your health care down at the emergency room with the other illegals.
Decisions have been made that we have no say in and we have to do things the way people who came before us decided was going to be the only way. Here in America we used to have a system that let people stop working at some point before they die, but we're trying real hard to get rid of that now and replacing it with a new retirement plan. We call it "become independantly wealthy". Oh, and don't get sick. Otherwise, just work and make us money, then have the decency to die quickly and quietly at a reasonable age so society doesn't have to drag you along.
Capitalism American style really is becoming “contribute to the greater good we call ‘the economy’ for as long as you can then die”. If you think about it, it’s kinda more Socialist than Socialism. Only drawback is everyone contributes but only a few benefit.
Freedom my brothers! That is real freedom!
