They believe people that aren't housed are dangerous, lazy, and that you shouldn't give them money.
They have already begun installing home security garbage that will effectively flashbang pedestrians and delivery drivers at night.
I understand that homelessness is a requirement under capitalism because housing and land speculation is the only real growth vehicle (i.e the backbone) of capitalist economies. Regardless of what these people do, millions will be forced into homelessness by the market and market-state.
I need theory covering why you should give homeless people money, and capitalist parasitism (Mao?).
Anything on convincing these people on why they should do mutual aid with the people on the streets will also be greatly appreciated. I think anything on liberation philosophy would be more effective as they are religious.
These people are not particularly privileged, and identify as socialist and religious, but the difficulty is that they are quite old and paranoid.
the "danger" thing really gets me. who the fuck are you that houseless people could threaten your fucking safety? the people who get any self defense equipment taken away by the cops, who get surveilled, harassed, and beat every goddamn day by the pigs?
yeah the people this society's put at the bottom of the bottom if they come at you with their fucking bare hands and you lose i can't say you ain't had something comin.
but what people actually mean about danger is visible human poverty that might threaten their fuckin capitalist fairy tale that everyone on the bottom just ontologically deserves to be there to suffer and die (just not where my bourgouis ass can see it)
