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.
