It doesn’t matter how desperate or disillusioned you are, there is no excuse for violence.

Ask them about Ukraine, or Israel, or the cops.

It does matter how well funded and backed by the State Department you are, then violence is always justified.

Sure, but it at least explains violence, no? Then perhaps we can solve this problem by not making housing only for rich people? At this point, I’ll even gladly be happy with a tax cut that applies to the working class too.

People don’t just get disgusted by homelessness, they actively seek out ways to hate and fuck over the homeless. Even just being at the brink of going homeless can make people do fucked up shit to you.

Sexual exploitation of the homeless for shelter/food is sadly not uncommon. There’s shitload of fucked up stuff done to desperate people, and it’s not even counting the toil of just being homeless. It breaks you. The solution is to fix housing.

I wish there was a term for prejudice against the homeless. Like ableism, it’s a huge, unaddressed issue.

There is a term. It’s called “liberalism”

Yeah it’s definitely way higher than 0.02% of LA that’s homeless, a quick google search finds the official 2023 number was 1.2% of the city’s population, 60x higher than the number this dipshit pulled out of their ass

Realistically, it’s even higher considering the way the government measures homelessness across the country is absurd and pretty much guaranteed to dramatically undercount

A classic online debate tactic is to pull out of their ass 0.001% or 99.9999%, when they really have no idea what the percentage actually is.

Wait until the sheeple learn that the government intentionally exaggerates black crime rates to make white people look better.

Sorry Bubba, you’re not special.
