Sounds like cope to me.

"I'm stepping out of the system" is actually "I'm too poor to stay in the system".

Or literally anyone who's like "I want a life where I haven't bet my ability to have shelter against 30 years of my income and my ability to stay healthy and gainfully employed."

Like I'm a person who is part of this system because there's literally no other option. I want to get off Mr. Bone's wild ride but there's nothing really available to me.

Not necessarily, it could be a way to get away from constraint that forbids you to grow your life better.

Even with money, staying into western dense urban cities only give you one kind of life.

im not too poor to stay in the system. but i am building my own tiny house right now. i just do not think being dependent on the system is a good idea for my future. maybe it is for yours.

That's great but I hope we can agree that most of society wants a house with a garden and a family dog. Trying to put those people into a tiny house or camper would lead to the revolution Marx dreamed of.

I absolutely do not want a big house with a garden, and I despise the idea of dog ownership.

Maybe your statement is true for the American society though

then i suggest people might want to learn how to build their own house. because the trends suggest housing affordability isnt returning anytime soon.

i think thats about as anti-marx as it gets, no?
