    Conservatives love imagining a better world and getting mad at it. I love that they've even dropped the pretense of infeasibility, just flat out "oh you think children should have food?"

      The best part too is how many conservatives were born with a golden spoon and massive amounts of privilege but they exert this idea they only worked hard to get where they are. They simply won't or can't can't grasp for moment what it would be like to walk a mile in the shoes of everyone they think is beneath them, which is a lot of people

      We need homelessness to scare the fuck out of the low-wage service sector workers who are just scraping by.

      If you don't have those last rungs to fall down, you might not show up for that 2.5 hour minimum wage shift bagging groceries during the evening rush.

    And while you're at it, why don't you just use the resources and technology of society to benefit everyone equally, that certainly wouldn't be really cool and good.

    Ben Shapiro is literally John Cleese from the "Merchant Banker Sketch" holy shit lmao. He physically cannot fathom the idea of any sort of altruism as being good. Here.
