    in the US property taxes vary on location. let’s say I owned 100 acres in Montana. property taxes would likely be $10-20 thousand dollars.

    if I owned 100 acres in California it would be closer to $1 million.

    I own 1.5 acres in the Midwest in a densely populated area and my yearly property tax is $8,000.

    the only way I can afford that is by working my high paying, high demand, high stress, IT job. if I wanted to live “off the grid” so to speak, I would need at least $1 million to start with. 2+ acres of rural property (if you can find any that hasn’t already been stolen by corporations) start at $250k. to build a home is an additional $300k. solar, water, and other infra will run an additional $150k. I plan on living for another 50 years. Tax at $8000 a year and a 2.15% increase over those 50 years comes to around $130k.

    so that leaves me with $170k to live on for 50 years. That’s $283 a month in living expenditures. that doesn’t cover living expenses like vehicles, property upkeep, home repair, health and wellness, etc.

    so, I throw in close to $1 million dollars into a dream and I fuck up once and it’s all taken from me. my kids, my house, my marriage, everything. and you want to summarize it down to “you just need to recognize you’re living on land being supported by national infrastructure”.

    get the fuck out of here. we’re fucking slaves and there’s no way out except for taking a dirt nap.

    I don’t think the Brits have any ground to stand on when it comes to upholding agreements… do I hold it against all of Brittan? no, I call out the leader that was responsible at the time. why? just because your leader did the thing doesn’t damn the whole country.

    actually you can’t.

    have kids? you’ll have them taken from you or have to fight tooth a nail with every penny you can scrape together thus forcing you to comply and be a cog.

    no kids? you’ll have social services called on you relentlessly because you’re a danger to yourself. you will have your autonomy stripped from you and force-fed medication until you comply.

    married? same as before but you’ll be put in jail for spousal abuse if you’re a man or interred into a psych ward if you’re a woman.

    if you don’t believe you’re enslaved by the corporation, fafo.

    my grandmother put out a dish of radiator coolant for them.

    they loved it for the rest of their lives.

    then her house smelled like death for like a year.

    edit: just like to add that this was probably 40 years ago. squirrels are rodents that carry disease and other pests that can cause disease (looking at you yersinia pestis). old timers didn’t fuck around and took immediate action to solve their problems. you don’t have to like it, but you have to accept that it was effective.
