"Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution."

Cool. We could change that by cutting off subsidy money to the K-Hole enjoyer then.

    Is there some kind of chud conspiracy that homeless people are actually just crisis actors?

    Yes, exactly that. There's also an ancient chud meme that still goes around that panhandling is more profitable than most jobs.

    It's a way to pretend people can't ever be actually poor and in need.

      To be fair this one does seem like a goal for capitalists.

      Welcome back by the way.

      The thing that shuts them up (at least in my experience) is to tell them to just quit their job and become homeless right now if it is so lucrative, they hem and haw about it and make a million excuses, but oddly never agree to do it, despite it apparently being a quick, easy path to success.
