Any books that will teach me how to live like a cockroach? Tresspassing, freighthopping, scrapping metal, getting shit for free, stealing things from public property, lying to get public services and welfare, transforming legal consumer goods into drugs, using karate moves on policemen, etc.

Yes yes, it's a subset of street knowledge that always interested me.

By the way I forgot to say that if this thread die with no recommendations, like my last four threads, I will literally kill myself. I just can't take it anymore. So please guys make some effort.

Find PDF's of old Loompanics books.

Here's an old catalog of titles to search from;

Just get involved in your local punk scene and make friends with the crusts. They will show you the way of heroin addiction, anarchist praxis, and homelessness, good music too.

>I am on welfare. I live at your expense, you pay taxes and I don’t do a fucking thing. Twice a month I go to the clean, spacious welfare office at 1515 Broadway and receive my checks. I consider myself to be scum, the dregs of society, I have no shame or conscience, therefore my conscience doesn’t bother me and I don’t plan to look for work, I want to receive your money to the end of my days. And my name is Edichka, “Eddie-baby.”

Someone should make a response about this where wagie is travelling and going to concerts and sporting events where NEET is a broke bitch stinking at home all day (parents in the next room asking when he's going to get a job).

even better put those travels inside a thought bubble wagie is having while sitting at his desk or standing at his register. maybe a year calendar on the wall behind him, a red circle around one of the days.

Not a book, but if you want cheap shit that you can probably make money on. Go to any junkyard/reclamation yard during the rain and worse weather possible - best if its open and the people who work there stand exposed.

Wait and barter with them for 20 minutes without leaving, if its anywhere else where haggling is allowed stay for like 2 hours, they'll basically pay you to stop wasting their time, its a pretty good way to make money off of items.

Also if you want free food dress like a bum dirty clothes etc. then you just need to find a soup run and then you'll get free soup.

My source for this was a family member, they the money to own multiple properties but did this sorta thing out of protest against charity or the welfare state I suppose.

pic related... but it's more about the mindset than actual advice or education

Well you'd run them dry that way I suppose as well as getting free shit, not to mention he was Jew in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham. Who was pretty put out by people getting what they didn't deserve ("essentially I had to work to put food on the table why do they not have to pay", is what I'd assume his logic would be).

Mind you I was young enough that I was born far after his death so much of it could be hear say but the actual advice seems sound.

Also I guess it puts material cost on them, with minimal effort as he had a shitty coat he'd use for it.
