"As someone who worked helping the homeless, let me go into a long diatribe about how homeless men are subhuman monsters." This person is sick. But it's very common for anti-homeless fashies to say 'oh, I work with them! So let me tell you...'
Yep. That's always the biggest issue when doing social work - if you come in to it with the idea that you're going to take some ego trip, you're going to be gone within the first few weeks, if not days.
I remember working with a college student when I was doing volunteer work at a group home, and this person saw one of the guys just urinate next to them. They were just appalled and never came back. It's like what the hell were you expecting?
Of course if you do stick around, it just makes you extremely jaded if you don't recognize that a lot of social work is a complete farce because the root of the issues is never going to get attacked in this system. I still know people that have been doing this type of work for years, but still don't really care for socialist thought to the point where they want the entire system dismantled.
Yeah, I did work with unhoused people and comrades and let me tell you this person is just cruel and ideologically liberal to fash. While I worked there I want to underline, that I did work with them in the sense of together, not in the sense of me being the superior position (though obviously I got a load of privileges).
The main thing I learned was how many misconceptions and bad patterns of behaviors I had. The fact that it could be me instead of them who are punished by society like that is self evident. It is one more reason a sentence like "They get one, meant are all of us" is true.
