if your opinion is, it's correct to chase homeless people out of the few spaces they have access to, being told you're an anti-social monster who doesn't deserve anything good until you fix your revolting black heart, is getting off super easy.

opinions on how to best reorganize urban settings to promote access to parks and public transportation? i'll be respectful. "opinions" that displace and kill people? they create complicity in murder and violence and you deserve to be absolutely and firmly cast out of any meaningful discussion.

if you're uncomfortable with unhoused people existing, go do some activism. when enough of you murderous clowns come around and something gets done to house these people, great. we're good. until then, shut the fuck up you monster. there's no middle ground or debate here. your behaviour is disgusting.

Congrats, you’re one of the first lunatics I’ve seen since joining the Fediverse!

Just a reminder that Jello Biafra from the San Francisco group Dead Kennedys wrote a song called Kill The Poor, satirizing the heartless attitudes even back in 1980. He also ran for mayor of SF. Part of his platform was businessmen in downtown would have to wear clown suits. Would have been great if he had won.

hahahahah i know little bits about biafra's delightful weirdness. i'd rather see a well-meaning bonkers ass joke mayor than a serious one who gets a bunch of people killed on purpose

100%. I completely understand those news stories you hear where some town elected a dog to be their mayor.
