That's the answer. People forget how weird they are because they're just everywhere (at least in regions like mine).

I don't buy clothes I don't buy furniture I don't buy baked goods. I don't donate old clothes I don't sell old furniture I don't throw away extra produce. Mutual aid societies and gift economy FTW.

it's not part of the normal economy because they can't use the banking system
