I really suck at knowing when I'm being trolled. I'm not the one in the screenshot but I'm in the thread. This comment was just particularly egregious.

    All of my closest friends—who are in fact the only “close friends” I’ve ever had—use hard drugs, and my de facto best friend started out as my dealer lol. The love of my life, the most deeply beautiful person I’ve ever met, has been on and off homeless and addicted to heroin since they were 18. So hearing shit like that really fucks with me.

      Same, so many of my friends have been the exact people that he was talking about. My family was homeless when I was young, not related to drug-use or any sort of crime, and people like him would still want us to be condemned to that life. It motivates me to fight more than most attitudes. This guy was a business owner, not the 1% or anything, but that dehumanization is so prevalent among the wealthy.
