consider

there are both Romani gypsie

s

and Irish gypsies

this lifestyle independently developed twice

Knowing that, helps them better immerse in their role of being filth

Kind of like guilty pleasure

it's parasitic

yeah gypsies and irish travelers are trash

but it's not abnormal

Of course it is

Survival is savage

Gypsies have been genetically selected for being surviving genetic rejects for thousands of years

since when, there's plenty of examples in the biological world

By virtue of tolerance

It's a bit much to call something that persists rejects, rejects by your standards of acceptable civilization perhaps

but they are robust examples of human behaviour

not some aberration

you'll have gypsies forever

Even their physique has completely transformed to match the spirit

Of complete depravity

Of mind, body and soul

I don't think they are that depraved

degenerate

but the modern west is more depraved

Yes, but it's road downhill is quite accelerated

Changes are as much environmental as they are genetic

would gypsies survive the collapse of civilization?

Due to relatiely shorter timespan of decay

I think they just might

@fallot more importantly, would other people tolerate them in their vicinity ?

they already don't

that's a given

the key would be always maintaining a balance between how much they dislike you

and how much they are willing to do about it

before you move

they've done it ably for a long time

you are not correct

i remember even here, and this is not the most tolerant place in the world

gypsy behavior towards normal people

was strictly reserved, submissive and careful
