Virtue signaling
A nod to the homeless as an indulgence. All while the shit on the streets drives everyone from California.
shareI would have rather had it be a straight documentary, told by the actual nomads.
shareI enjoyed the movie but you have a point Iconoclast
A doc about these modern nomads would be very interesting
Yeah, the real people who live in RVs are a lot more varied and interesting.
shareYou can find lots of mini-docs on modern nomads, or RVers as they are called, on YouTube. I watched some and was sort of fascinated for a while. But my interest waned when one rough-and-ready character in a makeshift RV talked using a bucket for a toilet.
shareThat's the only turn off to the Road Lifestyle...flushing toilets and hot showers seem a rarity and that's sort of a deal breaker

TRUCK STOP SHOWERS FOR NON-TRUCKERS
Well that could be useful info
shareI used to watch some on Youtube also, but not so many anymore. I still watch Angela M and sometimes Panda Monium. It's odd they never say where they are getting their money from when all they're doing is constant 'camping or glamping.' I can't imagine they make enough from their Youtube channel to support their lifestyle.
shareWell, there was a proper documentary called "Camperforce" made based on the book and the Swankie and Bob Wells characters in the film are real nomads.
As for the title of the thread, these days "virtue signaling" pretty much means "being a decent human being" IME.
The people who use "virtue signaling" spend their time crying about Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head.
shareI agree, that would have more political impact, but Nomadland was a decent movie.
