Exclusive: Newsom calls ban on S.F. homeless sweeps "preposterous'

A tweet phrased it this way...

Liberals will really consider doxxing a judge who ruled that you can't arrest people just for being homeless before considering giving people homes.

Oh look someone scratched a liberal.

I remember watching a news clip which had some woman from San Francisco explaining that while she is 'very liberal', every day that she leaves her home and sees shit from a homeless person left on the sidewalk in front of her home that she becomes 'less liberal' every day.

Which says everything that needs to be known about her and most liberals. They won't question why a human being is left with no choice but to defacate on the sidewalk and why they don't have adequate housing or facilities and what should be done about it, but will quickly draw the conclusion that there should finally be some solution to the homeless question.

"I fully support the economic system that lead to these conditions, but when I see the results of the economic system I support I think we should enact overt fascism so I don't have to see the results of the economic system I support!"

Love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal!

"Wouldn't it be great if we could concentrate some of these undesirables into camps?"

We could call them "Sanctuary Zones". Need to have those set up by 2024.

According to Mirror-Universe-born Lorca's worshipful praise of my-hero in Discovery canon, we're more like the timeline of the Mirror Universe, right now. doomer

In the mirror timeline, Gabriel Bell sold out the organizers of the riots to the cops.

How do so many events have parallels with different outcomes that still have followup events that can also have different outcomes? what-the-hell

Federation Special Circumstances gets bored sometimes and jaunts over.

I mean, the appropriate reaction to daily, intimate reminders of the failures of liberalism is to become less and less liberal.

Become less liberal by becoming leftists, right? anakin-padme-2

says it's "inhumane" to prevent the cops from treating unhoused people like garbage to be cleaned up.

San Francisco, the Bay Area in general, and the perimeter around it for quite a ways around is full of people claiming they are as progressive/tolerant as they come, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT violently hate unhoused people.

Try it if you're there. Ask what should be done for unhoused people and watch the hatred bubble up and they'll instead talk about what should be done to unhoused people.

They'll preach that homeless people need to be housed while wanting to be landlords

They'll complain about wealth inequality while worshipping the tech overlord that they work for

It's all self masturbatory moral signaling while secretly wanting to be the oppressor without having to face the reality of their consequences

If the government announced a plan to kill homeless people, over half of all Americans wouldn't object to it. Of those who wouldn't object, over half would cheer it on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Of those that objected, over half would do "sure this is bad, but" wishy washy enabling arguments and let the slaughter happen outside of "have you no shame, sir? Sir?" speeches that usually work in their movies.

Literally the rest of the US, left and right alike: "Lol San Francisco's unaffordable and homelessness is rampant."

San Francisco: "Heh, looks like someone's jealous of my good property values! What's the matter, my city too fancy for ya? Homelessness is worth it so I can feel fancy in my overpriced house btw." smuglord

One of the weirdest real quirks of Bay Area liberals is they love performative generosity. A lot. By that I mean you could probably knock on their door if you look safe enough us-foreign-policy and if you play your cards right you'll get spontaneously treated to a wining and dining extravaganza at the price of hearing their life philosophy and their heroic Main Character Syndrome story of rising to greatness through adversity.

As long as you don't at any point ask for any actual financial aid or a place to live. If you do, you're fucked.

San Francisco delenda est

And Palo Alto… Palo Alto must be carved out of the earth and ejected into the sun.

Fuck everything around Napa Valley too. The fires didn't go far enough last time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

as someone from SF, yeah this is pretty accurate

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

done ~~to~~ against unhoused people.
