How do people living in slums cope with their lives? Wouldn't it just be better to go back to the countryside and live on farms again?

Well they moved there to begin with didn't they? They packed their stuff and left the countryside to go and live in the city and then they arrived into a literal piece of dump. Why didn't they just turn back?
>>
>>61933166
No, at least here in Brazil people that live in favelas are descendants from ex-slaves or piss poor whites. Farmers don't move to favelas for no reason.

I'm not sure if I have been memed but everything I hear about South Korea makes me think it's an ultra-consumerist technorcatic nightmare.

I imagine the people left behind in that system must live very shitty lives.

They aren't like favelas or villas since there simply isn't enough population density.

They are just a bunch of poor houses kinda together with shitty sanitation.
>>
>>61932980
There is a reason they left the farms to begin with, here it's guerrillas and paramilitaries taking their lands.

Everything I'm seeing of it on Google Images looks pretty abhorrent, familia
There doesn't even seem to be any permanent structures, it's a legit shanty-town

>Contrary to many slums in India, Brazil, Indonesia, Venezuela or Sub-Saharan Africa, these slums are urbanized and most inhabitants have access to basic amenities, however, the quality of basic amenities are debatable as the vast majority of people live under the poverty line, high crime rate, and in steep hills and grey block housing.
>>
>>61932980
Here, a lot of people live in slums because living in the countryside was impossible. They had to flee and leave everything they had behind not to be killed or recruited by force for the guerrillas, so I guess it's the same shit at worse or a little bit better at best
>>
>>61935065
Looks like a cosy place for a house and mountains are low enough to go there without tons of special equipment. Do Koreans pick up berries and mushrooms in forrests?

Still better than what we have here.
Our slums in cities with +300k habitants usually do have santiation and have access to basic amenities though

I don't know Sven, why don't you try move to a slum and then to a farm?
>>
Because living in farms isolated from people, civilization and technology is worse than living in favela
>>
>>61932980
No, because all farms are occupied by cash crops which are sold to first worlders. Millions of people die for that cup of coffee you drink, the least you could do is not complain.
