no. they want to annihilate the homeless. they don't give a shit what happens to the homeless after they're gone from downtown -- if they were being culled, these fools would call it 'fake news'
I've always been operating on the assumption that the average conservative doesn't want the absolute liquidation of the homeless population, but would rather have them relocated to somewhere they could inevitably ignore. Idk tho, I've constantly underestimated the bloosthirstiness of the average american
I mean, you're entirely correct, there's very little functional difference between pushing marginalized people into some ignorable area and just outright massacring them. Conservatives will choose fascism as their solution every time, don't get me wrong. But that's the point: They can express some humanity in wanting poor people to improve while simultaneously enuring that this is impossible. They don't need to openly advocate for pogroms so long as the violence of poverty does that for them
to me, one of the most incomprehensible things people do is come up with these silly lies to tell themselves. maybe that's why they are happier and more succesful than i am
as a person who used to think that homeless people wanted to be homeless, it definitely is a general comfort to avoid ever considering that structural (and fixable) problems are the reason why we have issues in the first place.
I mean but that's it, right? It's not a conscious choice where they say "I want poor people to die" but rather subscribing to an ideology where poor people just happen to die and they get to look the other way and wash their hands.
they literally just want sanctuary districts, not an actual solution to homelessness or poverty

what happens when you put a bunch of defenseless, marginalized people in a system where the population can safely ignore their plight?
American prisons.
Or Afghanistan

I don't want blood on my hands, I just want the ugly people to leave.
Ok, now that I've reclassified them as foreigners, they're actually very strong and scary so please begin bombing immediately.
