Any books on the homeless being awful? I'm looking for books on how the homeless are destroying America.
Nice quads. Being homeless isn't as anomalous as it used to be. Just go where there are high numbers of them and observe them in their natural habitat.
Maybe you should read about how america makes people homeless.
It's always the tripgays.
>No one here with a trip or a name
You on meds by any chance?
The homeless aren't destroying America they are a symptom of a country that does not care about its population. Finland eradicated homelessness in 5 years.
Homelessness in America is a result of a self perpetuating drug problem that started with San Fran hippies in the 60s. People get interested in that lifestyle, they participate, they get sucked in and become the next generation of drug zombies. I doubt there have been many meth zombie attacks in Finland before it got "eradicated".
This is wildly incorrect.
not an argument
Refute it
Domestic and child violence is the leading cause of homelessness in every 1st world country. Google it.
Woah op that's so edgy you're so cool.
There are lots of schizos and drug addicts. Who can be dangerous.
There are also many people just down on their luck. I knew a guy who had cancer which caused him extreme financial problems and so was living out of his van.
The nicest guy just very unfortunate
Yeah big pharm is innocent and all and had no part in the Percocet/OxyContin to heroin pipeline that hasn’t just ravaged the inner cities but spread to the burbs and upper class communities as well
Who said they didn't? God you really are dim.
Not an argument
A lot of it comes from the overwhelming amount Immigrants flooding into the country for no good reason
They are good cheap labor for people like myself and my dad, and their women take up a substantial chunk of the sex trafficking industry
Your completely right. Those immigrants are the reason those losers are taking copious amounts of drugs
I figure this whole thread is probably bait but I am begging you all to study just basic sociology
I drive past an encampment of these scumbags on a daily basis. Truly life unworthy of life.
>I demand that you study a discipline founded by Marx so that you will conclude that fentanyl users pooping on the streets is a symptom of capitalism and that people shouldn't be able to own multiple houses
"No."
Actually, the one that I drive past seems now to be a mixture of both sorts. I can only imagine that in places like California there's a "diversity" of types as well.
Why are you such a myopic twit?
Got a couple friends that work jobs that make them interact with the homeless a lot. One of them is a very left leaning and all of them including him seemed to hate the homeless more after their experiences(maybe hate is a strong word, but definitely a more negative outlook). To my knowledge it seems like in most cases if your homeless you do have a chance to get out if you have enough willpower and where you live isn’t absurdly expensive. Gotta just get off the drugs I guess.
This might or might not be true, anyone that actually talked to homeless folk extensively could tell me if it is but I’ve also heard that homeless people are homeless because they pushed literally everyone else in their life away that could house or help them. I mean think about it how many people in your life do you know that literally were born with no one whatsoever?
There's this San Fran troony I know who absolutely hates the homeless. Can't blame him, since they leave shit and needles everywhere. Before moving there however, he used to be pretty left leaning himself.
Also, I know someone whose brother is homeless. It's his own choice since she allows him to stay at her place. He only swings by when he needs a shower. I know this type of homeless guy isn't in the majority but a lot do indeed have the opportunity to escape it and they don't take it. Kinda shitty for the ones who don't have the same opportunity but that's life I guess.

Something idealists don't want to admit, there is a subsection of the population which will take any request to compromise on their behavior in order to be a part of a community as an unbearable affront to their dignity and individuality. Like say we hit post-scarcity and we could give everyone on the planet a literal fricking mansion with robot butlers, some people would invent a reason why they "need" to encroach on their neighbor's personal space and start spewing incomprehensible rage when you start questioning their motives. These same people would start arguments with their neighbors over their landscaping based on complete nonsense like "I'm allergic to every type of grass, everyone within fifty miles of me needs to rip up their lawn and replace it with woodchips."
It's like you say, you pretty much have to be the shittiest person in the world to wind up homeless in a society with as much abundance as the US. I've broken into vacant homes and squatted there and the neighbors were totally cool with it because I wasn't a junkie frickwit.
Where the frick did you do that? I wouldn’t stand for some squatter Black person in my neighborhood.
Homelessness, like all things, is sort of a choice. Yes there's the usual sob stories about folks down on their luck who can't catch a break, but there's a lot of folks who are just fine jacking off under bridges and getting high. Pure freedom, honestly, the one way to get out of the system.
my dad is actually currently homeless
it definitely started as a choice
he wanted freedom from bosses and responsibilities
i can't really help him in the sense of giving him a place to stay permanently, because he would flout any standards i have in my home and it would affect my kids
he isn't incapable of work, but probably has narcissistic personality disorder
he definitely has burned a lot of bridges when people try to help him
he dreams of hitting it big with some easy scheme, or breaking into hollywood and becoming famous
i wonder if there are a large number of those types in los angeles.
