*sigh* who said anything about conspiracy theories and such? But for sure, socializing is less disturbing to outsiders if done indoors.
This reminds me a little of that book "On the Run". The author (a white woman) become "embedded" into an inner city Baltimore neighborhood. She spends most of her time with bangers she gives fake names like "Chuck" and "Mike" who hang out on the street all the time when not in jail. But she also spend some time with another group of young black people a few blocks away, who went to work, played video games, hung around indoors and avoided trouble with the law.
Obviously nobody should play music so loud it bothers neighbors. But you can get more leeway out in the country than in a densely populated neighborhood. Just like you can be louder if you live in a detached house vs. apartment. And where do you get the idea that only white people make riverbank outings or go camping?Or maybe they should all pile their belongings into the van and go camping down by the river or out in the woods where, guess what? People play music and laugh and talk and dance and make noise that bothers their neighbors who are other campers or wildlife.
WRONG!Of course if those activities are carried out by white folks, then they are good. Put a brown skinned person behind any activity and it is bad, bad, bad, bad.
You think most of the people on that video work even 20 h/week? At least in "legal jobs" as Goffman calls them.And dangerous! How dare those people not be working 20 hrs/day!
The fact that you cannot conceive of the people in the videos having jobs says a lot more about you than it does about those people or society.
Enjoy your basement, Derec. It's obviously making you very happy.
