Someone should put up a kekistani flag there and declare it the kekistani republic though that would likely end up like israel - surrounded by arabs who want to destroy them, except in this case the arabs are normies of california
She left the civilized world a prisoner in the great prison of meeting your everyday needs, and arrived in Slab City the ruler of an entire backyard of scrap.
Most? I mean, some of the cities in the wastelands have bums that people take pity on, I guess... but it's pretty much 'contribute or starve' out there.
I liked Concrete walls. I just never got them lined up right. I always had to put down 2 or 3 1x1 pillars to cover gaps. But hey, at least it snapped together better than Vault-Tech structures did. Rip
Two fundamentals of a free society seem to come out of this slab city experiment: guns and fences are absolute necessities. The most "free" society still needs protection from others.
I have a fence between me and my neighbors. We get along great because our own resources are demarcated. He knows I won’t steal his shit and I know he won’t steal mine. It doesn’t even have to be a real fence, but just an understanding that what’s over here is mine and what’s over there is his. It’s like our own personal tribes. My wife and kids are over here, and his are over there. We trade, bond and get along because we acknowledge those boundaries. Right now he’s building a giant shed on his property and I don’t contest it because it’s his property. If we didn’t acknowledge the boundaries then I might get angry because his shed is too close to my house.
The protection doesn't have to come from the government, in fact, it's probably best if it isn't, but protection of some kind is essential for any society
I kinda wanna just get a shit ton of stone and materials and just drive there with a truck and just make a castle. Like nobody will stop me so why not? I'll make my own garden, well, and just everything I'll need and just sit in my castle yelling at the peasants.
I'll send out my guards to collect taxes in the form of scrap metal, and if they don't comply I'll shove em in my jail cell and take all their scrap. What will I do with their scrap? Well I'll scrap it of course! I'll simply melt down the metal, turn it into bars, and sell it! I'll make money and the castle will pay for itself.
I would really like to see an Australian Aborigines reaction to Slab City. I mean, the thing is, it is a bunch of hopeless welfare checks freeloading parasites at Slab City, larping/acting at being in Fallout 3 or some shit - in one of the richest states in the United States, the richest nation on Earth. Now, curiously, in the case of the Australian Aborigines, who can trace their nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle back to their earliest forebears literally over 60,000 years ago if not several thousand years older than that archaeologically, as well as possessing of an arcane oral history (as they did not write books, but made rock art and cave paintings, but even more importantly recorded their stories in story and song, surprisingly strongly retelling those stories - and it is thought some today are possibly stone age in origins, that is how well they orally preserved their own history in spite of so much change following colonialism) there is a very different thing going on. While the British Empire and later Australian government mistreated them, which is an accurate observation - I don't hate on the Empire, being a British patriot, but I immediately will be the first to highlight its errors, crimes and evils, as that is the only way we can assess anything; truthfully, and I'm a lover of truth, fairness, logic and honesty - and Christian missionary workers tried to forcibly erase Aboriginal ways of life, names and even their history, as well as practically abducting Aboriginal children to force to be educated and brought up with Western clothes, Christian names and modern occupations in the towns growing up especially during the 19th century, the truth is, Aboriginal Australians in many cases now have the full protection of the Australian government. However, while it is rightly celebrated that, in a form of ethnoarchaeology (noun: definition - the study of the social organisation and other ethnological features of present-day societies on the basis of their material culture, in order to draw conclusions about past societies from their material remains) and cultural preservation in action, has continued and shall continue, with their intimate relationship with their world, in the Australian outback, the difference between these ancient ''primal'' cultures, and the western anarcho-communists/''primitivists'' or whatever the hell they want to call themselves, is *hilarious* I mean the disparity on countless levels is magnificently funny. Lets see: Australian Aboriginal culture: - Harks back to a *60,000 year heritage* of nomadic peoples ranging over Australasia, people who once fought and died the monstrous giant reptiles such as Megalania priscus, a 7 metre long, 3 tonne Monitor Lizard akin to the Komodo Dragon (in fact, it has been proven it was the ancestor of the Komodo Dragon, when some migrated out of Australia and got smaller over time on their islands in Indonesia) - Are worldwide respected for their cultural importance and significance, similar to how Maori and native American peoples are respected for their situations historically, and their modern day continuation in spite of all they've endured. - Have a literally prehistoric vintage art style that is recognisable worldwide - namely, the dot painting style using naturalistic colours and now all colours too (I remember art class in high school here in the UK, making dot art Australian Aboriginal style art in class, for one module, way back in the day, and I always loved it, so modular and fun to make things with, really beautiful when done right) that basically anyone with half a brain should know where it comes from in origins as a style. - Have an integrated and yet unique, governmentally recognised and *legally secured* right to sacred lands and burial sites, relationship with ''modern Australia'' as in the predominantly white Anglophone peoples that descend from the British who colonised the continent after Captain James Cook found it (though he did so around 60,000 years after the first Aboriginals did) - Have an expert level mastery of surviving in hostile desert environments with literally zero modern trappings or devices if needs be, and a near symbiotic relationship, which is also very sustainable indeed, with their environments. - Expert local and wider ranging geographical, but non-scientific type ''ground wisdom'' of their land, knowing where to dig for water, roots and tubers, and where to hunt any particular of animal they see, and how to survive in any single situation the Australian outback can throw at us. Literally as in tune with their natural world, as European hunter-gathers were with the Ice Age landscape, or as in tune with their natural world as San bush people are with theirs in Africa today, or how Vietnamese peoples were and to some extent still are with their jungles. A truly staggering ability to survive with zero help, zero modern technology, zero advanced civilisation. - Unique and world famous musical instruments, such as the didgeridoo, as well as other instruments/crafted items, such as the boomerang. Again, iconic, famous and well liked for what they are. Just cool things that humans have made, cool and different, showing the variety of the human people worldwide yet again. - Their own languages and dialects with resourceful interconnected communities with an intense love and care for one another, and a low occurrence of violence or warfare between their peoples going back a long time. Very much a people that learned long ago they needed to help each other to stay alive since prehistoric times in Australia when death could come in a thousand and one ways if you tried to live alone recklessly. - A strong place of respect and partial modernisation (only) in some places. Many Aboriginal descended people in Australia are now fully modernised and some are descended from those who were *forced* to modernise by the British Imperials or later the Australian government of some previous decade or other. However, now, they are at a better place of peace and understanding with the ''Western'' type Australian country that has grown from its imperial roots in the past. - Cool people who like most Australians are among the nicest folks on this Earth, like the Kiwis/New Zealanders are too (met a fair few Kiwis though never met an Australian, while at uni here in the UK, seriously they are great folks, so chilled but hard working and kind at the same time) ......... Slab City type of people: - Body Odour. - Dubious/supremely questionable motives. - Parasitic behaviours born *out* of capitalism to *feed off and parasite ON* Capitalism, while claiming to be anti-Capitalist un-ironically. - Desperately poor circumstances, zero interest in contributing to society while openly claiming to be collectivist and socialist in some kind of ''positive context'' (I don't believe either can ever be positive in truth, as I fucking hate those terms and what they pertain to) - Social disorder; no legal system; no accountability; risk of losing everything to some vandal/thief/criminal, including the risk of being murdered with no social security, law enforcement, or laws at all. - Ironically a total incompetence regarding actual hunter-gatherer survival skills. Now, seriously this one is mega important. Look at British survival experts such as Ray Mears or Bear Grylls, to see how important and powerful those skills can be in those situations - or like I say, just look at Aboriginals and other peoples like them (from archaeological history, or the modern world in ever rarer communities out there, from the Amazon to the Outback, from Siberia to the Congo) The fact of the matter is, that people can live *anywhere* almost and we're impressive beasties when it comes to our persistence and endurance in hostile environments, considering our relatively frail bodies and energy hungry physiology and anatomy. We somehow just make it work, in the most desolate and grimmest of conditions. *But these fucking have a go hippy wannabes leeching on society would fucking STARVE* after a few months without their ill-gotten gains and sly means of subverting their political narrative. They act like they don't need help but clearly get help more covertly, and by book or by crook get the fuck away with it. - Some rusty shit as an excuse for civic architecture. - Clearly a heavily processed, biased and blinkered vision, narrow-minded, echo-chamber type ''library''. - Some average looking Tatty Bojangles librarian with likely disgusting hygiene, yet who happens to possess 10/10 - tits but that is about it. This, big boobed ''voice of reason'' and ''wisdom'' in her ''community'', smashing bottles to relieve stress and being liable to destroy other people's belongings because hey, she feels like it that day or the next. How charming. - Oh and drugs, a massive presence of laziness, and likely a scary number of transient convicts and up-to-no-good deadbeats on the run, passing through at will. This could include psychotic murderers. Yayyyy! *Now imagine the facepalm a traditionalist Australian Aboriginal would make looking at these fucks*
Kekullian, Relax. Also, not sure if you're saying I'm an Aboriginal, as I mentioned being British. I'm white British. Also I never mentioned roads. And I write as much as I fucking want.
@@pixelatedpastry haha you really showed that person that is seeing the consequences of your failed policies what a reasonable solution to citys like london is.
How would a Slab city work near Minnesota in the winter? This seems like this would only work in a desert where there would almost no environmental concerns.
No way these are raiders, this is like the remains of a town that has literally a beaten up old shotgun and 3 caps, this is the area that raiders avoid because they know their is nothing
they would of capture them first and train them as Canyon Runner said "They live in pitiful squalor, undisciplined, intemperate. To enslave them is to save them - to give them purpose, and virtue."
To be honest Sargon, this place seems like a good advertisement for anarcho-communism. I have always wanted to be the lone wanderer in my ultimate fallout larping experience. In short, I think I'm going to switch sides now.
David Cappadoccia It’s been damn near 100 years since it was predicted that socialism would raise men to a state of moral perfection. The idea “New Socialist man” (or “New Soviet Man”) (which is effectively the same thing) comes from Trotsky and Stalinist Soviet propaganda, but it has its roots in Marx’ philosophy of history visa ve the development of the socialist society into the communist society.
Take five minutes to look around and realize that if a random guy from 16th century Europe wandered in, he'd think you were the wealthiest fucking guy in the land. You wield magic like its nothing and have the most exotic foods at your command(except pumpkin lattes for most of the year)
Dude, of course she needs to build a scrap fence to protect her scrap pile! It probably took her days of fighting raiders, sneaking by feral ghouls and running from super mutants to gather all that aluminum, ceramic, fiberglass, steel, etc.
They will collapse they will then flee they will then vote for the shit that caused the collapse. They don't learn only cure is making sure they stay and deal with the shit they caused.
I thought about that for a second and played back in my mind the difference between anarchy and libertarian. Libertarian is LIMITED government (you have bear bones government, police, firefighters, you are left alone unless you don't play fair) Anarchy is NO GOVERNMENT. I believe this place clearly fits the latter.
Anarchist: I don't want any type of organization fuck you Libertarian: Well people helping others is fine but fuck roads at this point I'm starting to think anarchists make more sense now, lol Just go live in Alaska or something, they actually need people to work there- oh wait.. that's right.. Neither group want to work :D
Libertarians just want private means to fund things rater then funding things via central planning and taxes. In early America they had roads funded via lotteries and voluntary fundraising. Most Libertarians want to have a government like early America had, which is why the US is kinda like a holy land for libertarians. Also, the Anarcho-capitalist don't technically want to just get rid of government, they just want to decentralize and privatize it, letting all the governing services be provided via the market. That's the difference between the retarded anarcho-commies and the anarcho-capitalist capitalist. The anarcho-capitalist at least accept the ideas of hierarchy, law, and order.
+Big Moist Yeah, ask any libertarian and they'll tell you they want small government, which is a sensible position, even if one disagrees with it. I don't think the "no taxation" crowd is libertarian at all.
The people in that game demo almost look real, though the game needs better writing. I can't imagine anyone saying the words these people are saying in real life.
Finally have a functional ''evil character'' playthrough. I will have no regrets plowing through these NPCs with Super-Sledge. Hope the head-popping animation looks realistic.
These would be the type of people to play Fallout 4. They couldn't handle a real Fallout game like New Vegas or the originals because it's "too much thinking and work", unlike Fallout 4 where it's more simple and less choices.
9:55 I love how she uses the term "master of my domain". That's what is great about private property. She has no domain, it's shared by the collective.
Not to mention, there is no laws there either. So I could rape and murder and nothing can be done besides their own social justice. All it would take is me turning into a slum lord. I can bring the whole thing down. (Rape and murder is bad. Just stating the obvious.)
Diraphe Without Law, we can do what we want, if you piss someone off, they can actually kill you or do other shit to you, you're scared, what do you do??
Saying it looks like fallout insults fallout settlements; they actually have rules and structured economies that serve the individual before they serve the collective.
Fallout LARPers in action! ...people walk right through your yard and steal from you... EXACTLY WHAT I DO IN FALLOUT! Oh the sweet loot and no fence nor lock can hold me back.
Even Fallout looks a hundred times better than that dump. I'll gladly take my Plasma rifle and Combat armor over any of their "free spirit self defense tools". Fallout 3 FTW.
Its almost as they live in the real world and they have to follow their guidelines Like you do realize early books on capitalism were written in feudal ages and were sold in a feudal sense.
Oliver Von arx As long as we are only talking about cash disbursements, direct assistance is a tiny fraction of the federal budget. It only gets insane when you include healthcare cost, and the administrative costs for all of the indirect assistance programs. Also, the banker already pays far more than 4 cents a year to live in a place that is well removed from the lower classes.
Gravity only changes the rules slightly, hence why I like my gravity mods that adds structural integrity and support. In all seriousness, these guys suck at both minecraft and bushcraft.
"All people should pay their fair share, except the rich they need to contribute more, and except the poor, they need to contribute less. Every one needs to pay their fair share, except me of course, who paid nearly 13% less than my tax bracket calls for, of course. Fair share!"
And because you are 'pretty sure', that makes it true. Boy, you make it up as you go along, and you make square pegs fit round holes. Now, if that is your job, ok. But if you are just doing it to pass time, I think you should start building scale models of Medieval churches out of used matches, it would be a better use of your time.
Speaking of people calling bits of rubbish "art work," as a garbage human, I've become aware that this is an entire subgenre of art called, "modern art". In the world of "modern art," a person could literally dry out a turd, dip said turd in bronze (or even spray it with gold colored paint, realistically), and it would be considered a masterpiece, and it's meaning would be deeply contemplated and debated by the world's biggest snobs, for at least the next half a decade!
People who hate the shit sold en masse, should support better artists... But then, I've yet to put together a proper patreon... Wanna see my art anyways?
+Darth why bother, over time the rad scorpions will slowly pick them off one by one anyway hey have you seen Crow? i saw his caravan walk into Germantown but thats where our paths diverged.. havent seen him in awhile
@@michaeldougherty2807 Yeah having enough food to be fat; having access to cars, electricity, smart phones, the internet. Capitalism totally sucks for poor people.
I lived like this for a while in New Mexico. It was horrible. Nobody ever had any money, everyone had tons of ideas, but nobody would actually do anything. I was the only one with a job. When they say 10% of the people do 50% of the work, in these communities it's even less than that. Food was terribly scarce. Most people depended on charity from a church in the nearby town. Water was insanely difficult to find. Nobody ever bathed and they smelled like it too. Trust fund babies would show up to live like this on purpose and as you can imagine they would be quite popular. They had resources after all. I saw a documentary made about the same mesa in 2007. I lived there in 1998. I should mention how preachy a lot of these people are too. Took me two months to escape into town into a normal house. Didn't take long for me to understand human nature in all it's disgusting glory, and the fact most people are truly lazy. Oh yeah, and the artists. Art.....right. Lawlessness. Heck yes, so many thieves. What a crap way to live.
Yes, humans are disgustingly lazy by nature. It takes great incentives for us not to let ourselves fall down to this level, like having to live like that... Sadly, for some people, this is even nowhere near there rock bottom...
I won't condemn the people, just the ideology that encourages them to check out of society, and then preach at everyone else on how bad civilization is and how the rest of humanity is wrongheaded. I can't say how often I heard about the "system" and how everyone is a slave etc. They sure didn't mind all the rides I gave them, or the cash when somebody actually did make something I thought was cool.
Reminds me of the Chumbawamba anarchists/communists: the squatted a building, shoplifted, and cashed in dole cheques. Reminds me of Thatcher's Maxim: *Socialism is all very well until you run out of other people's money.*
25:53 "i don't see any marble sculptures of roman emperors" Me:**immediately wants to dress an army up like Cesar's legion form fallout new Vegas and invade this place**
I can see some of the apeal, I would like to spend a few months there (at the very most) just... i dunno RPing fallout? Y'know tinker with stuff, I can't imagine living like these people though the inactivity after a while will drive me insane. Also, I would really like to go there with a few guns and some buddies and just, take over and rule as a dicator for a while before it also gets boring (the slab empire doesn't sound very promising...), to find out how dicators and such feel.
zeronix_YT I would establish an islamic theocratic kingdom, just to see how the american media is going to downplay the fact that there is a part of the country in which sharia law is enforced.
Yes and no. They left the city to go sit around somewhere in the desert sure, but they're being supported by the society they chose not to contribute to.
So many talk about the iphone socialists but those tend to be the noisiest ones online, in the media. I know a lot of hippies and pro-socialism, communist types of milennials who try to live the way they preach--and I think they're not a small number. And that's great that they do that, the problem is many seem to want everyone else to live, think like them. Unfortunately, too many I know are also cat wee scented, don't like the finer things of western civilization--and some talk as if they don't like it at all (though they benefit--and I'm not talking material goods like iphones). So they'll never sell what they want to me.
AnCom: *starving* "Please, do you have any food?" AnCap: *takes out McDonald's brand earbuds* "I'm sorry, what were you saying? Are you trying to sell me insurance?"
Do they not realize that they are still in the US and all laws still apply? Just because you're in a hell hole so far removed that police don't go there doesn't mean there is no law
Call 911? There is no phone service, ha. No, your cell phone will not work here either. Someone has to drive to town, then go tell the sheriff, then the sheriff needs to drive out there. That is the only way to get such services. The laws might still exist, but with no enforcement, they might as well not exist.
I never said anything about 911 and grew up in rural areas. We had guns in the home for protection. All I stated is that the law of the land still applies regardless of how far removed a person is from society.
We'd better gear up, as she's probably a boss with a unique shotgun and throws Molotov cocktails at you. Bastard game devs stuck the thing in a library with a librarian to make it seem easy. ;)
You know there's people in Africa who are desperate to escape conditions like (or slightly better ) and move to western countries. These people should offer to trade places with them.

Cornelius ironically sounds like she is evoking an 18th century European imperialistic aristocratic dandy, larping as a Roman aristocrat. Probably Swedish or British, wearing a wig, with curled hair, with powdered cheeks in a totally-not-gay way (totally gay) and basically being the kind of person who thinks they are better than everyone else cos they sound like a Roman senator. You know, the kind of person who would have condoned wiping out every last one of the people in Slab City or inversely watching them fight to the death in the Coliseum XD Then we have the discordantly bolted-on ''VanGogh'' which is simultaneously extremely pretentious while also making a portmanteau out of a well-respected man's name, and shunting the words of his name together to make one made up name. This, done so in the most unimpressive way imaginable. Doesn't work at all - like her **badoom tish** lol Yep, Tatty Bojangles fits her so much better; Tatty, referring to her *BIG TITS* and the word, ''tatty'', as in, something run down, dirty, threadbare, rough, ruined and low quality. Totally befitting of the person to which those cracking ta-tas belong. Bojangles...cos, sounds like jangling, jangles, jangling TITS. Bottom line, shes got big tits, is a bit of a tit herself. TITS.
How do they buy stuff? Government money. The old lady with the solar panels is getting Social Security payments. Most of the other permanents have food stamps and other benefits and those in the community like the old lady with a vehicle will carry them into town from time to time to collect their government checks and stock up on consumer goods, booze, and all the cash they can for the when the drug dealers come by.
"When I was 20, the Followers sent me East to Grand Canyon. It was my first expedition, just me and a physician named Calhoun. As an anthropologist and linguist, my assignment was to learn the dialects of the Grand Canyon tribes. What a fucking waste of time! If you think it's worthwhile to make smart people learn how to talk like backward savages, you're a Follower of the Apocalypse... or an idiot. "Anyway, we met up with a Mormon missionary who already knew a bunch of dialects - Joshua Graham. He was supposed to teach me. But before that went too far, the Blackfoot tribe captured us, to hold us for ransom. They were a backward bunch. But the real problem was, they didn't know how to fight. The Blackfoot were at war with seven other tribes, each just as pissant as they were. But outnumbered like that, they weren't going to last long."
Sarski All languages desplay meaning. Hunting, farming, fishing, gathering water, and building houses are hard work. The Natives lasted thousands of years without America. They are not AnarchoCommunists but bartering, Tribe controlled capitalist with socialist characteristics.
I really appreciate the fence painted with "Thank you USMC" Like they may be anarcho-communists but at least they aren't hostile to the civilization as a whole and those brave men and women who defend it.
Your work goes to all the real welfare whores in government that you allow to steal it from you...ALL the money is created from debt....YOU like most, are ignorant.....
James Barnes well considering it goes into the federal budget and government workers surprisingly are paid from the federal budget because the budget includes paying your god damn workers
"what do these people do for food and water?" they go to the nearest town and beg on the streets, preying on the good will of unsuspecting nice people who earn their money from hard work.
A re-imagining of Salvation Mountain is in GTA V, but instead of religious nonsense its covered in alien nonsense. Salvation Mountain was the work of mostly one lunatic over a 20 year period but when he died these gypsies slowly moved in and have crowned themselves as the caretakers of his "vision" and Slab City was born.
Fun theory, what if in the fallout series, China was actually a Capitalist Country, realised that this place was a thing, and decided that they didn't want to exist as a nation and thought "might as well take these nuances with us!"
dude, they're all on benefits. that's how they get food and water and money. they're only a couple miles from civilisation. they also go begging in san diego.
I've known people like that here in Ireland (who rail against society but are perpetually on unemployment/disability benefit from said society), pretty frustrating. Especially the ones who act like they're fighting the system by sitting around 420 blazing
Love how they need two signs pointing to the “library” right on top of one another (presumably because people keep destroying one or the other of them, and two signs saves a trip). I know what you are thinking: “why wouldn’t they just destroy both signs?” Because after the first sign is destroyed, most of the time, either they lose interests or they just jet tired, need a break, and forget that they were trying to destroy the library signs.
So your telling me if I want to set up my own Mad Max like kingdom I just gotta get a small army of people with guns, wait til winter when the population is low because of the cold and take over?
Have you ever been in the Sonora in winter? It's pretty cold then, even if nowhere near arctic temps. You could just walk in and kick around whatever hippies happened to be hanging around. Being hippies, the crappy diet and constant weed would mean practically no resistance.
Sargon has enough subscribers that we could gang together and conquer this raider camp and turn it into a nice productive settlement for the Commonwealth
No roads, as expected
So, We The Kekistani can easily invade this land and Make Kekistani Great Again. Good to know.
😂😂😂
They have to build their own roads.
If there are no Laws there, then there is nothing stopping anyone from Conquering and Enslaving them. Seems legit.
Someone should put up a kekistani flag there and declare it the kekistani republic
though that would likely end up like israel - surrounded by arabs who want to destroy them, except in this case the arabs are normies of california

It would be a waste of fire.
"People will walk through your yard and steal from you". Um, in order for it to be stealing dont you have to have property rights?
So if someone steals your lawn chair, it is not stealing unless you own the land it was stolen from?
property is any material that can be owned, land is a property, and property is often used to refer to it, but a chair can also be your property

I don't think the city will withhold her rightful title from her.
Comparing this to Fallout isn't fair.
Most of the settlers in Fallout aren't this lazy.

I wouldn't even sell your character into slavery
Two fundamentals of a free society seem to come out of this slab city experiment: guns and fences are absolute necessities. The most "free" society still needs protection from others.
I have a fence between me and my neighbors. We get along great because our own resources are demarcated. He knows I won’t steal his shit and I know he won’t steal mine. It doesn’t even have to be a real fence, but just an understanding that what’s over here is mine and what’s over there is his.
It’s like our own personal tribes. My wife and kids are over here, and his are over there. We trade, bond and get along because we acknowledge those boundaries.
Right now he’s building a giant shed on his property and I don’t contest it because it’s his property. If we didn’t acknowledge the boundaries then I might get angry because his shed is too close to my house.
The protection doesn't have to come from the government, in fact, it's probably best if it isn't, but protection of some kind is essential for any society
Slab city is still in America, you know that country that has more guns than people.If I lived there you can bet your life I'd have one too.
I kinda wanna just get a shit ton of stone and materials and just drive there with a truck and just make a castle. Like nobody will stop me so why not? I'll make my own garden, well, and just everything I'll need and just sit in my castle yelling at the peasants.

I'll send out my guards to collect taxes in the form of scrap metal, and if they don't comply I'll shove em in my jail cell and take all their scrap. What will I do with their scrap? Well I'll scrap it of course! I'll simply melt down the metal, turn it into bars, and sell it! I'll make money and the castle will pay for itself.

shouldnt you be banging rocks together... or something?
I bet they know how to party when the monthly welfare checks arrive.
Professor Layabout E x a c t l y
And what do you do with your welfare check?
I would really like to see an Australian Aborigines reaction to Slab City. I mean, the thing is, it is a bunch of hopeless welfare checks freeloading parasites at Slab City, larping/acting at being in Fallout 3 or some shit - in one of the richest states in the United States, the richest nation on Earth. Now, curiously, in the case of the Australian Aborigines, who can trace their nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle back to their earliest forebears literally over 60,000 years ago if not several thousand years older than that archaeologically, as well as possessing of an arcane oral history (as they did not write books, but made rock art and cave paintings, but even more importantly recorded their stories in story and song, surprisingly strongly retelling those stories - and it is thought some today are possibly stone age in origins, that is how well they orally preserved their own history in spite of so much change following colonialism) there is a very different thing going on.
While the British Empire and later Australian government mistreated them, which is an accurate observation - I don't hate on the Empire, being a British patriot, but I immediately will be the first to highlight its errors, crimes and evils, as that is the only way we can assess anything; truthfully, and I'm a lover of truth, fairness, logic and honesty - and Christian missionary workers tried to forcibly erase Aboriginal ways of life, names and even their history, as well as practically abducting Aboriginal children to force to be educated and brought up with Western clothes, Christian names and modern occupations in the towns growing up especially during the 19th century, the truth is, Aboriginal Australians in many cases now have the full protection of the Australian government.
However, while it is rightly celebrated that, in a form of ethnoarchaeology (noun: definition - the study of the social organisation and other ethnological features of present-day societies on the basis of their material culture, in order to draw conclusions about past societies from their material remains) and cultural preservation in action, has continued and shall continue, with their intimate relationship with their world, in the Australian outback, the difference between these ancient ''primal'' cultures, and the western anarcho-communists/''primitivists'' or whatever the hell they want to call themselves, is *hilarious* I mean the disparity on countless levels is magnificently funny.
Lets see:
Australian Aboriginal culture:
- Harks back to a *60,000 year heritage* of nomadic peoples ranging over Australasia, people who once fought and died the monstrous giant reptiles such as Megalania priscus, a 7 metre long, 3 tonne Monitor Lizard akin to the Komodo Dragon (in fact, it has been proven it was the ancestor of the Komodo Dragon, when some migrated out of Australia and got smaller over time on their islands in Indonesia)
- Are worldwide respected for their cultural importance and significance, similar to how Maori and native American peoples are respected for their situations historically, and their modern day continuation in spite of all they've endured.
- Have a literally prehistoric vintage art style that is recognisable worldwide - namely, the dot painting style using naturalistic colours and now all colours too (I remember art class in high school here in the UK, making dot art Australian Aboriginal style art in class, for one module, way back in the day, and I always loved it, so modular and fun to make things with, really beautiful when done right) that basically anyone with half a brain should know where it comes from in origins as a style.
- Have an integrated and yet unique, governmentally recognised and *legally secured* right to sacred lands and burial sites, relationship with ''modern Australia'' as in the predominantly white Anglophone peoples that descend from the British who colonised the continent after Captain James Cook found it (though he did so around 60,000 years after the first Aboriginals did)
- Have an expert level mastery of surviving in hostile desert environments with literally zero modern trappings or devices if needs be, and a near symbiotic relationship, which is also very sustainable indeed, with their environments.
- Expert local and wider ranging geographical, but non-scientific type ''ground wisdom'' of their land, knowing where to dig for water, roots and tubers, and where to hunt any particular of animal they see, and how to survive in any single situation the Australian outback can throw at us. Literally as in tune with their natural world, as European hunter-gathers were with the Ice Age landscape, or as in tune with their natural world as San bush people are with theirs in Africa today, or how Vietnamese peoples were and to some extent still are with their jungles. A truly staggering ability to survive with zero help, zero modern technology, zero advanced civilisation.
- Unique and world famous musical instruments, such as the didgeridoo, as well as other instruments/crafted items, such as the boomerang. Again, iconic, famous and well liked for what they are. Just cool things that humans have made, cool and different, showing the variety of the human people worldwide yet again.
- Their own languages and dialects with resourceful interconnected communities with an intense love and care for one another, and a low occurrence of violence or warfare between their peoples going back a long time. Very much a people that learned long ago they needed to help each other to stay alive since prehistoric times in Australia when death could come in a thousand and one ways if you tried to live alone recklessly.
- A strong place of respect and partial modernisation (only) in some places. Many Aboriginal descended people in Australia are now fully modernised and some are descended from those who were *forced* to modernise by the British Imperials or later the Australian government of some previous decade or other. However, now, they are at a better place of peace and understanding with the ''Western'' type Australian country that has grown from its imperial roots in the past.
- Cool people who like most Australians are among the nicest folks on this Earth, like the Kiwis/New Zealanders are too (met a fair few Kiwis though never met an Australian, while at uni here in the UK, seriously they are great folks, so chilled but hard working and kind at the same time)
.........
Slab City type of people:
- Body Odour.
- Dubious/supremely questionable motives.
- Parasitic behaviours born *out* of capitalism to *feed off and parasite ON* Capitalism, while claiming to be anti-Capitalist un-ironically.
- Desperately poor circumstances, zero interest in contributing to society while openly claiming to be collectivist and socialist in some kind of ''positive context'' (I don't believe either can ever be positive in truth, as I fucking hate those terms and what they pertain to)
- Social disorder; no legal system; no accountability; risk of losing everything to some vandal/thief/criminal, including the risk of being murdered with no social security, law enforcement, or laws at all.
- Ironically a total incompetence regarding actual hunter-gatherer survival skills. Now, seriously this one is mega important. Look at British survival experts such as Ray Mears or Bear Grylls, to see how important and powerful those skills can be in those situations - or like I say, just look at Aboriginals and other peoples like them (from archaeological history, or the modern world in ever rarer communities out there, from the Amazon to the Outback, from Siberia to the Congo) The fact of the matter is, that people can live *anywhere* almost and we're impressive beasties when it comes to our persistence and endurance in hostile environments, considering our relatively frail bodies and energy hungry physiology and anatomy. We somehow just make it work, in the most desolate and grimmest of conditions.
*But these fucking have a go hippy wannabes leeching on society would fucking STARVE* after a few months without their ill-gotten gains and sly means of subverting their political narrative. They act like they don't need help but clearly get help more covertly, and by book or by crook get the fuck away with it.
- Some rusty shit as an excuse for civic architecture.
- Clearly a heavily processed, biased and blinkered vision, narrow-minded, echo-chamber type ''library''.
- Some average looking Tatty Bojangles librarian with likely disgusting hygiene, yet who happens to possess 10/10 - tits but that is about it. This, big boobed ''voice of reason'' and ''wisdom'' in her ''community'', smashing bottles to relieve stress and being liable to destroy other people's belongings because hey, she feels like it that day or the next. How charming.
- Oh and drugs, a massive presence of laziness, and likely a scary number of transient convicts and up-to-no-good deadbeats on the run, passing through at will. This could include psychotic murderers. Yayyyy!

David Cappadoccia It’s been damn near 100 years since it was predicted that socialism would raise men to a state of moral perfection. The idea “New Socialist man” (or “New Soviet Man”) (which is effectively the same thing) comes from Trotsky and Stalinist Soviet propaganda, but it has its roots in Marx’ philosophy of history visa ve the development of the socialist society into the communist society.
That's because these people don't identify as communists.

No government + waving US flag.
I thought about that for a second and played back in my mind the difference between anarchy and libertarian. Libertarian is LIMITED government (you have bear bones government, police, firefighters, you are left alone unless you don't play fair)
Anarchy is NO GOVERNMENT. I believe this place clearly fits the latter.
Anarchist: I don't want any type of organization fuck you
Libertarian: Well people helping others is fine but fuck roads
at this point I'm starting to think anarchists make more sense now, lol
Just go live in Alaska or something, they actually need people to work there- oh wait.. that's right.. Neither group want to work :D
+Melody Storm Can't say I ever met a libertarian who was against public roads. plenty of anarchists who were though.
Libertarians just want private means to fund things rater then funding things via central planning and taxes. In early America they had roads funded via lotteries and voluntary fundraising. Most Libertarians want to have a government like early America had, which is why the US is kinda like a holy land for libertarians. Also, the Anarcho-capitalist don't technically want to just get rid of government, they just want to decentralize and privatize it, letting all the governing services be provided via the market. That's the difference between the retarded anarcho-commies and the anarcho-capitalist capitalist. The anarcho-capitalist at least accept the ideas of hierarchy, law, and order.
+Big Moist
Yeah, ask any libertarian and they'll tell you they want small government, which is a sensible position, even if one disagrees with it. I don't think the "no taxation" crowd is libertarian at all.
Fallout 5 lookin pretty good
The people in that game demo almost look real, though the game needs better writing. I can't imagine anyone saying the words these people are saying in real life.
Michalis they've finally improved the fucking graphics. The writing is a bit unrealistic though!
I'm so happy Bethesda let Obsidian develop this game, New Vegas was great and this looks even better!
Finally have a functional ''evil character'' playthrough. I will have no regrets plowing through these NPCs with Super-Sledge. Hope the head-popping animation looks realistic.
Social security and disability checks. Guaranteed still government subsidized.
Also unemployment. Many of these people work during the year and go to the slabs to sit on unemployment for the winter.
when you cant afford fallout 4 so you try to do it in real life
These would be the type of people to play Fallout 4. They couldn't handle a real Fallout game like New Vegas or the originals because it's "too much thinking and work", unlike Fallout 4 where it's more simple and less choices.

As long as we are only talking about cash disbursements, direct assistance is a tiny fraction of the federal budget. It only gets insane when you include healthcare cost, and the administrative costs for all of the indirect assistance programs.
Also, the banker already pays far more than 4 cents a year to live in a place that is well removed from the lower classes.

I lived like this for a while in New Mexico. It was horrible. Nobody ever had any money, everyone had tons of ideas, but nobody would actually do anything. I was the only one with a job. When they say 10% of the people do 50% of the work, in these communities it's even less than that. Food was terribly scarce. Most people depended on charity from a church in the nearby town. Water was insanely difficult to find. Nobody ever bathed and they smelled like it too. Trust fund babies would show up to live like this on purpose and as you can imagine they would be quite popular. They had resources after all. I saw a documentary made about the same mesa in 2007. I lived there in 1998. I should mention how preachy a lot of these people are too. Took me two months to escape into town into a normal house. Didn't take long for me to understand human nature in all it's disgusting glory, and the fact most people are truly lazy. Oh yeah, and the artists. Art.....right. Lawlessness. Heck yes, so many thieves. What a crap way to live.

I know a lot of hippies and pro-socialism, communist types of milennials who try to live the way they preach--and I think they're not a small number. And that's great that they do that, the problem is many seem to want everyone else to live, think like them. Unfortunately, too many I know are also cat wee scented, don't like the finer things of western civilization--and some talk as if they don't like it at all (though they benefit--and I'm not talking material goods like iphones). So they'll never sell what they want to me.
shok24199 the difference between the two groups is the amount of money an average member has in its bank account
AnCom: *starving* "Please, do you have any food?"
AnCap: *takes out McDonald's brand earbuds* "I'm sorry, what were you saying? Are you trying to sell me insurance?"
Do they not realize that they are still in the US and all laws still apply? Just because you're in a hell hole so far removed that police don't go there doesn't mean there is no law
All they need to do is call 911 if they need something ! :0
Call 911? There is no phone service, ha. No, your cell phone will not work here either. Someone has to drive to town, then go tell the sheriff, then the sheriff needs to drive out there. That is the only way to get such services. The laws might still exist, but with no enforcement, they might as well not exist.
I never said anything about 911 and grew up in rural areas. We had guns in the home for protection. All I stated is that the law of the land still applies regardless of how far removed a person is from society.
wtf theres even a vaultboy on the upper left corner at 00:47
RockinGamma Lol. You're right, there is! The irony. Medicine + 10.
-perception + 10
Holy fuck. ....... Dude I'm an skeptic but I think I have to accept that meme magic is real.
Okay now I'm sure this is a gag Fallout LARP.
We'd better gear up, as she's probably a boss with a unique shotgun and throws Molotov cocktails at you. Bastard game devs stuck the thing in a library with a librarian to make it seem easy. ;)
"People will walk right through your yard and steel from you." can they really steel from you if everything is for the collective?
Grammar NAZI *Steal
Thank you for the correction, lol.
☝😯 to answer your question...
...😐...
... 😕
When you decide Full Time Burning Man looks better than Full Time Employment.
You know there's people in Africa who are desperate to escape conditions like (or slightly better ) and move to western countries. These people should offer to trade places with them.
Roman Torchwick true
These Raiders have taken too much Psycho...
SpicciBobicci
Psycho addiction just makes you an angry Gorilla that wants to murderkill anything within a 50ft radius. I would say this would be a good example of Jet/Daytripper abuse. Empty headded, delirious and 100% not self aware.
SpicciBobicci: I'm a buffout man myself... 😐
Classic use of daytripper, daddy-o and party time mentats
They need some mentats
No such thing as "too much Psycho."
Bongo bongo bongo I don't wanna leave the Congo oh no no no no no no
*im so happy in the jungle i refuse to go
Bingo Bango Bongo i'm so happy in the Jungle
"Weather for the Mariner", a useful book in a library in the middle of the desert.
16:22 Hey! At least ONE of those raiders has a shotgun, and you know it.
Looks like the prawn settlement from district 9
Student of History Top tier reference lmao
"Are you the owner of this domicile?"
The prawn shacks were palaces compared to these.
[sic] your not wrong
Good place to make the next show on Scyfy.
Her name is.....Cornelius VanGogh.......
Alrighty then.
She suits Tatty Bojangles better...
her mom is actually proud she changed it.
Cornelius ironically sounds like she is evoking an 18th century European imperialistic aristocratic dandy, larping as a Roman aristocrat. Probably Swedish or British, wearing a wig, with curled hair, with powdered cheeks in a totally-not-gay way (totally gay) and basically being the kind of person who thinks they are better than everyone else cos they sound like a Roman senator. You know, the kind of person who would have condoned wiping out every last one of the people in Slab City or inversely watching them fight to the death in the Coliseum XD
Then we have the discordantly bolted-on ''VanGogh'' which is simultaneously extremely pretentious while also making a portmanteau out of a well-respected man's name, and shunting the words of his name together to make one made up name. This, done so in the most unimpressive way imaginable. Doesn't work at all - like her **badoom tish** lol
Yep, Tatty Bojangles fits her so much better; Tatty, referring to her *BIG TITS* and the word, ''tatty'', as in, something run down, dirty, threadbare, rough, ruined and low quality. Totally befitting of the person to which those cracking ta-tas belong. Bojangles...cos, sounds like jangling, jangles, jangling TITS.
Bottom line, shes got big tits, is a bit of a tit herself.
TITS.
One of the librarian's books is titled "Metal Boats." In the commune in the middle of the desert.
How do they buy stuff? Government money. The old lady with the solar panels is getting Social Security payments. Most of the other permanents have food stamps and other benefits and those in the community like the old lady with a vehicle will carry them into town from time to time to collect their government checks and stock up on consumer goods, booze, and all the cash they can for the when the drug dealers come by.
Oakspar Oakspar also to answer sargons earlier question there are a few shitty tube wells on the site as well
Funny thing is that they still need money from the government to live in their governmentless commune.
"When I was 20, the Followers sent me East to Grand Canyon. It was my first expedition, just me and a physician named Calhoun. As an anthropologist and linguist, my assignment was to learn the dialects of the Grand Canyon tribes. What a fucking waste of time! If you think it's worthwhile to make smart people learn how to talk like backward savages, you're a Follower of the Apocalypse... or an idiot.
"Anyway, we met up with a Mormon missionary who already knew a bunch of dialects - Joshua Graham. He was supposed to teach me. But before that went too far, the Blackfoot tribe captured us, to hold us for ransom. They were a backward bunch. But the real problem was, they didn't know how to fight. The Blackfoot were at war with seven other tribes, each just as pissant as they were. But outnumbered like that, they weren't going to last long."
Sarski All languages desplay meaning. Hunting, farming, fishing, gathering water, and building houses are hard work. The Natives lasted thousands of years without America. They are not AnarchoCommunists but bartering, Tribe controlled capitalist with socialist characteristics.
Ave, true to Caesar.
Lictore radi se o igri za PC.
What are you looking at smooth skin?!
I really appreciate the fence painted with "Thank you USMC"
Like they may be anarcho-communists but at least they aren't hostile to the civilization as a whole and those brave men and women who defend it.
So this is where that chunk of my paycheck is going.
Your work goes to all the real welfare whores in government that you allow to steal it from you...ALL the money is created from debt....YOU like most, are ignorant.....
James Barnes well considering it goes into the federal budget and government workers surprisingly are paid from the federal budget because the budget includes paying your god damn workers
I wish mine would go towards the construction of a real life Liberty Prime that would stomp out these parasites with nuclear capitalism lasers.
Sounds real nazi or maoish of you there psychopath......
Watch it again, and listen for the phrase, _"Social Security."_
"Whoopa, I'm losing MY hat."
Off to the Gulag for you comrade.
What next? Your glasses? It's not your hat, it's the collective's hat. 🎩👒
My retirement plan is now to buy a farm next to this place and scare off the anarchists trying to freeload off my farm, it's like playing wack a dolt.
Also what graphics mod is this my texture pack is lackking compared to yours and with graphics like these new vegas looks like real life
I wouldnt attempt it, a lot of them are said to have guns.
Jerimiah Shekelstein it would be great if we brought law to slab since California doesn't seem to care
Dress up as a scary monster to scare them away, but beware four meddling kids and a dog.
"what do these people do for food and water?" they go to the nearest town and beg on the streets, preying on the good will of unsuspecting nice people who earn their money from hard work.
0:40 "looks like something from Fallout"
That place is in GTA V, so close enough
It is?
> I feel bad for these people
Same
A re-imagining of Salvation Mountain is in GTA V, but instead of religious nonsense its covered in alien nonsense. Salvation Mountain was the work of mostly one lunatic over a 20 year period but when he died these gypsies slowly moved in and have crowned themselves as the caretakers of his "vision" and Slab City was born.
+King Fedora Reminds me of a place the Legion would wipe it in a matter of minutes, like Nelson
Fun theory, what if in the fallout series, China was actually a Capitalist Country, realised that this place was a thing, and decided that they didn't want to exist as a nation and thought "might as well take these nuances with us!"
11:20
Ectetera?
Ectecera?
Etcetera
i noticed that too lmao
Why does she say steal? There's no such thing as property.
MrSpammo See, she has internalized capitalism, comrade.
Che man spent the morning before his interview smoking pot and he will spend the afternoon after the interview smoking pot.
dude, they're all on benefits. that's how they get food and water and money. they're only a couple miles from civilisation. they also go begging in san diego.
Yup. And Sargon mentioned that later in the video.
Some of these guys probably rob the temporary visitors who aren't Liberal enough!
Do they have benefits there? I thought in the US it was just unemployment insurance (so only if you get fired).
Nah, you can get benefits if you are physically/mentally disabled. These people clearly qualify for the latter.
I've known people like that here in Ireland (who rail against society but are perpetually on unemployment/disability benefit from said society), pretty frustrating. Especially the ones who act like they're fighting the system by sitting around 420 blazing
'she didn't make very much money on her social security'
...none of the money you get on social security is money you made
That's not true. I've paid a shit load into social security. So if it exists when I get to that age I would be getting back what I put in in a sense.
>getting back what you payed in
>If it exists when you get to that age
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha_turns_into_sobbing.jpg
Evidently someone dropped out before they got to economics.
Pyramid Scam so...... get a clue.
Brucie Kibbutz still more money than living in slab city
''Turn me on? That's not the wisest idea.''
-Sargon of Akkad
Love how they need two signs pointing to the “library” right on top of one another (presumably because people keep destroying one or the other of them, and two signs saves a trip). I know what you are thinking: “why wouldn’t they just destroy both signs?” Because after the first sign is destroyed, most of the time, either they lose interests or they just jet tired, need a break, and forget that they were trying to destroy the library signs.
So your telling me if I want to set up my own Mad Max like kingdom I just gotta get a small army of people with guns, wait til winter when the population is low because of the cold and take over?
This will 100% happen eventually.
Unless, the Cartel get them first.
Have you ever been in the Sonora in winter? It's pretty cold then, even if nowhere near arctic temps. You could just walk in and kick around whatever hippies happened to be hanging around. Being hippies, the crappy diet and constant weed would mean practically no resistance.
Who runs Bartertown ?
My thought exactly, this is begging for a military style unit to come in and set up a nice little tinpot dictatorship.
Burning houses down isn't a problem when private property doesn't exist
Living in the desert.
Has a book about metal boats in the D.I.Y section of her library!
Anarchism yeah!!
spunkymonkeySK _ who knows? Flash floods, they’re thinking ahead ;)
They'd be better off investing in vertibirds if you ask me.
this comment section!
my poor sides!
you guys are killin it
And if they have to go maritime after a North Corean nuclear strike it's San Andreas Fault.
lol I just wrote this, well played
Sargon has enough subscribers that we could gang together and conquer this raider camp and turn it into a nice productive settlement for the Commonwealth
That'd be lit
Here let me mark it on your map
