    its always funny when the ghouls who write these things slip the mask a bit.

    these arent necessarily people suffering from mental illness or have substance abuse problems

    Like thats not ok either you twisted fuckhead. Maybe the fact that you're pointing that out warrants some investigation into that?

    Similar energy to the "these arent uncivilized brown people, these are relative modern white european people" shit going around at the beginning of the ukraine shit

      Its worse than that because this quote is attributed to someone who is supposed to be helping them.

      :what-the-hell:, these people are eugenicists that think over-complicating the process will hide it.

      :swole-doge:: "Man, these homeless people are everywhere, maybe we should rethink housing as a speculative asset and end homelessness. Have I ever told you about Red Vien-"

      :porky-scared-flipped:: "Whoa now, it's okay! They have health problems so let's keep them there even though I complain that they're an eyesore. Seeing them homeless is the only way I can feel good about myself!"
