Ah fuck. That pastebin didn't have the link, I can't post it here because of the filter. Just google: The Troubling Trendiness Of Poverty Appropriation

Basically hipsters. Spend all that money to look like a poor piece of shit, but still have a $600 iphone.
I hate the stupid damn term but I do agree that rich entitled hipsters trying to look "working class" or whatever is cringey. I also hate the middle class people in London who try to act like gangsters and speak like fags.

Poor people can have nice shit too. When I lived in Oregon, all the migrant workers lived in cherry shacks or trailers, but had brand new mustangs parked outside. You don't become poor/stay poor by being smart with your money.

>Poverty Appropriation
Fucking liberal cucK weenies, what will they think of next?
Place I used to work at had an antique store upstairs.
The lady was constantly dragging shit out of dumpsters and selling it for hundreds of dollars.
It was called shabby chic a few years ago.
It really disgusted me that people would spend shitloads of money to look poor.

Actually a tiny home is the best many people can hope to afford these days without going into lifelong debt.
>San Francisco’s Butter Bar, a trendy outpost that prides itself on being a true-blue, trailer park-themed bar, serving up the best in “trashy” cuisine and cocktails. With tater tots, microwaved food, and deep-fried Twinkies on the menu, the bar also serves cocktails that contain cheap ingredients, such as Welch’s grape soda.
She should have lead with this. (would probably get less clicks tho :^)
Still pretty stupid to be so upset by it but it fits the description of cultural appropriation more than people building chic, low-maintenance cabins.

>Who is St. Francis of Assisi for 500 Alex.
Any woman who complains of Poverty Appropriation should read up on St. Francis, he did a lot more while choosing poverty than these slacktivists would.

canada what the fuck are you doing bro
>>56746556
Why would I spend money on a house I'll only use to sleep in when I could spend it on travelling the world?

Just wait till she is pregnant with someone else's kid but expects you to pay for it!
Are you at least still fucking her as well?
>>56746556
Poor people don't live in kek sheds.
>>56750342
Yea, because everyone wants to live in trendy places because xD culture!
My current investment property, which I just closed on, is costing me just under $30k. Two car garage and everything. It's just out in the countryside.
Good houses are easy to find, but you will sacrifice your special snowflake urban culture to obtain it
>>56746556
It has always been like that. German Ledehosen are an interpretation of Volkslich Leben made by nobles in South Germany in the second part of the 19th century.
>>56752585
How the hell is a house only $30k? Is it a trailer, condo, or something else that would suck to live in and that's why it's only an investment property?

we can send you to africa where you have all the space in the world then.

How is living below your means something to be criticized

Immaturity at it's best. People without any worthwhile skills, techniques or knowledge but are still affluent enough to afford computers and web hosting will still shitpost their opinion as if it means anything.
Meanwhile, I'll go back to my blog, otherwise I'll keep getting rejections because MORE WIMMINZ IN STEM!
>>56752753
You don't need a generator (solar panels exist or you could hook it up to city power if you're in town) and you can own the land that it's parked on, nitwit.
>>56752746
No, it's an all brick/wood house built in the 1950's. The interior is a little dated but should cost me $3-5k total to fix up.
Seriously, it's about where you live. I also purchased ~50 acres of land a few years ago for just over $80k. You can get it even cheaper out in some of the Western states.
Here's a place in the Auburn, AL area where my girlfriend attends college.

>cant raise a family
>not enough space to have technology that makes life easier or to fix things yourself like a dishwasher/washing machine/refrigerator,etc(you would have to pick 1 or 2 but not all)
>cant have family and friends over to stay with you
>not enough energy from panels need fuel anyway for when its not sunny
>rent fuel, solar panel maitenance,etc
the people doing this are hipster type people/migrants or the nuovou semi middle class who turn into migrants.
this is not a legit "stay put" live in structure
UNLESS you are legit "off grid" cabin in the woods esque

>UNLESS you are legit "off grid" cabin in the woods esque
That's my plan.
>>56752746
A lot of the price of a house is just demand led rather than the actual cost of the house itself, especially for older houses that have depreciated etc.
If all of the people who want to live in the area can't afford to pay much for a house then the price of the house will be very low.

Oo lala, look who can afford partially real grape juice. The rest of us have to buy synthetic grape flavoured water.
>>56754509
then right on, seriously, I hope all goes well for you, getting some land living off of it would be amazing
>>56754509
Is that even legal anymore?
