"I’ve always used lumpen to mean genuinely useless humans. For example: my ex had this shitty roommate who absolutely would not get a job, cook, clean, or anything else that could be viewed as beneficial to the household. He absolutely lived off her largesse, and did nothing to alleviate her burden - she worked 7 days a week, virtually every week, to keep his worthless ass alive, and did…everything else. His existence is undoubtedly a big part of the reason our relationship turned to shit.
A drug dealer can theoretically stop being a predator, and people with substance abuse issues can be helped.
Yeah, ok. I'm pissed off because I watched someone I cared about be used by a guy who wouldn't do shit to relieve her burden. I'm not exaggerating her work schedule much - she got about 2 days off in any given month, so I'm the freak? This has been going on for about a decade. I gather he's had a job for about one total year of that. But sure, I'm the asshole here. If you say so.
If someone uses someone for years upon end, at what point do you say "you know, he's not respecting HER human rights?" Seriously, she was lucky to get 2 days off a month, and had to do 90% of the housework and about 98% of the cooking. That's vile.
Yeah, it really is super-frustrating. I tried to get her to get rid of him, but it never did work. I like to think she's managed to do so at this point, but lord knows.
Drug dealers aren't predators. Some are, but I don't think I've had a single friend in the past three years who didn't sling or used to sling. All my dealers are cool. Sometimes I buy coke just to have an excuse to hang out with the plug I got for that.

Trash just keeps on being trash."
of course the irony of this logic is you have just written yourself off as an irredeemable soulless freak
