Somehow it led to me stating that it wasn’t hard to picture myself being homeless because I was living paycheck to paycheck and I was only one missed check away from eviction.

I got told that I had no grounds to advocate for the unhoused because I had never “actually been homeless”

Then I got banned shortly thereafter.

I still think about that sometimes. Cuz the logic confuses the fuck out of me. Anyway, bash the fash!

      I can explain where the hatred comes from.

      I have a deadly fear of needles and despise trash. When I started to see both of those in local parks, my fear and disgust began to turn into hatred. The city subreddit I was in and the local media did everything that they could to push that hatred towards homeless people, giving all sorts of bullshit arguments and leading me down a reactionary path. At that point, when I thought the word "homeless" in my head, I pictured this and this. I stopped seeing the person. When I moved to a new city, I stopped following the old subreddit, and thus cut off the propaganda. Additionally, the city I moved to is much cleaner. With the propaganda gone and the city being cleaner, I began to move left and ended up here. I'm going to make a post about where reactionary politics come from in a bit.
