You are only a product of your environment. The bottom of that environment is a pit, and there is no ladder back up onto the walls. Maybe a few shots towards the top gets someone to lower the ladder.

    If one can think in abstracted objective self reflection, the reaction to “arm the homeless” opens a window on one’s internal biases. If one is afraid of another exercising their right to protect themselves as egalitarian citizens, that is an abusive prejudice. If one is afraid of the repercussions, that is where society presently lacks the impetus to solve the homelessness problem. It costs far less to solve the issue properly too. Narcissism will likely make this logic obscure or blind a person from themselves.

    In an idealized exaggeration, the fact that there are so many homeless in the USA is why they should be armed to fight back against a society of prejudiced passive exterminators that harm the disenfranchised of a terrible system.

    Maybe I take longer showers… probably the shampoo…

    No amount of censoring this sentiment by Lemmy.world and corporate socials will change the fact that impoverishing so many people will result in consequences for the owner class.

    They know this too hence why the looting is accelerating. They are stealing everything that can be stolen and then they will try to impose authoritarian regime to protect themselves from the wrath of the person classes.

    Socia Economic Conditions are becoming untenable for majority of population and even the so called winner PMC class aged under Gen X are starting to wonder wtf is this really all about, daddy.
