Honestly i stopped reading after "organic eggs from a dumpster" as this seems to be just one more person that is "out of the system" by just parasiting on the system itself. Like many "anarcho" punks i have personally met they really do not have an issue thinking that they are out of the system while living off its infrastructure and using its emergency rooms when needed. Im all for a different lifestyle and a better society ( whatever that might mean to you) but most of these approaches are just childish

He does answer some of these criticisms in another post:

Yep this "system" falls apart without being linked inherently to the system it claims to be dropping out of. If a large number of people tried this they'd all starve.
If everybody did it seems like a weak argument to me as it is quite clearly a minority endeavour and will always be so.
Homelessness will stop being a minority endeavor once AI-driven job automation becomes widespread.
