Funny how these so called hardcore hobos are only beating these kids up on youtube, I mean what do you have apple power books in your box cars?? Yes they are annoying but not really, and they are fucking doing something and experiencing some aspects of life that their parents probably never had the balls to do. Teenage rebellion AND keeping a tradition alive all at once. Stop hating, they are harmless kids.

what's "proper english", dialects change from region to region and isolations in population cause inevitable change in language its development.

what boring perspectives. but more power to 'em.

anarchism isn't against capitalism per se, it is against the state, the state's encroachment upon individual liberty, and the state's collusion with corporations at the expense of the rights of the individual, douchebag

I like your last quote

[jemkox]

@cbebop2411 .... But its the fact that there not submitting to the capitalist market it the sense of transportation... no gas not amtrack... you know... use of transporting good for the convenience of the capitalist market is inevitable... but the rats on the boat live by the crumbs always hoping to give the captain the plague

That's right, attack the person - not what they're actually saying. How mentally lax of you. There is a difference between dependency and utilization.

[LovexandxRage]

Clearly, capitalism in-it-of-itself is responsible for 'the freight movement'. It's not like the working proletariat produce, it's the capitalists themselves labouring to make commodities. Without Capitalism, we'd have nothing! Naive Anarchists.

Or is the freight movement, as you put it, a response to capital? That's perhaps the better question.

Our lives have been assaulted by the various mechanisms of capital and it would be remiss not to exploit what exploits.

capitalists would have us travel in cars busses planes amtrakcs etc methods of transportation that we woyuld have to PAY for freight riding is free which is a punch in the face to all capitalists in a perfect world we souldnt have to steal our transportation it would all be free until then though wel stick to hopping trains
