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

that's part of the decay of the west

a gipsy didnt dare insult our man or woman

even gypsies got uppity

why not?

they'll get away with it

today yes

when you start impaling them

they will be nicer

but even 30-40 years ago, even under communism

gypsies didnt dare mess with normal people or insult them

they begged sure, made jokes sure

but never threw insults

makes sense

today
