Again, if you don't, this is the, you know, the touch grasp has been turned online.

People have some, as you said, some problematic ways of discussing it.

But this is the importance of, like, turning out from your weird little subculture every now and again.

Yes, definitely.

Because in this world, how often are they interacting with the world, like, in general?

Very rarely.

And most of the people they do interact with are like these other people who are kind of on the edge of dropping out of society, living on this guy's property, this 80 year old man's property and box trucks.

Those are their normies.

Yeah.

So while Jamie and Ziz are fighting online, COVID hit.

And with it comes that eviction moratorium in the state of California.

So Ziz and her friends, they stop paying rent to lend, either because they're broke or just because they don't need to anymore.

And more than a year goes by.

In April of 2021, Ziz posts this to her blog.

Housing in places like the Bay Area is a hierarchy of rent seekers, and the rent seekers above landlords rule by rule surplus, selective enforcement, fear, uncertainty, and doubt, corruption.

It's all a complex, and it makes landlords incredibly vulnerable to blackmail from someone who can do even a little bit of investigative work.

It's bad praxis to pay them rent.

So, again... I get it.

I get it.

But this is also going to lead you to a bad place.
