The parasites desire to return our lives to 19th century industrial revolution living standards where entire families lived in open communal basement spaces with only a broom closets worth of space to live in then immediately say your life is still better than the 19th century because at least you have hot chips, T.V., and a smartphone to doomscroll on.

If we scroll up to the beginning of this discussion, I start out by saying "1 bathroom per 3 people is rather adequate", and I only start pushing to imagine even less when someone replies to me saying "that is not enough, a bathroom to person ratio of 1:1 is required". Yet somehow I'm the hermit advocate.

Idk I just think it would be a lot easier to not rely on redundancies that we survived for millenia without, and can easily conceive of doing without if we imagine a short distance beyond the scope of our civilizational norm.

or if your lifestyle imposes a requirement upon someone else.

That was the one line I took an issue with and I was curious to see how far that line of thought extended. It's reasonable and I agree with you. I mentioned earlier that I have family who lived in a commune and despite being left-leaning they had certain "individualist" type mentalities and what could be considered early hippy "anarcho-communalist" ideals that consistently hard-lined against forms of socialism that didn't involve a Kropotkin-style approach, essentially.

Doesn't really seem to be that here and I get/understand more what you mean now. I didn't interpret what the other user was saying as 1:1 plumbing but yeah I don't agree with that either. A half bathroom with no bath/shower and a shower room is better than just one bathroom imo. Also don't see any reason why toilets can't be in the shower itself unless it's for those who struggle to use them.
