Billionaire's False Narrative...

Jesus, so many libs in the comments saying homelessness can't be solved because "some people just make bad choices" or "we need to bring back asylums"

[u/soitheach → u/horseradix]

i'm filled with rage at almost any conversation around homelessness because of how willfully ignorant everyone is about it

there's a reason we have a fuckton of homeless people, it's not because they're all insane drug addicts who are irredeemable, but because TWO THIRDS of americans live paycheck to paycheck, and that certainly doesn't mean that the remaining third is only people doing extremely well.

MOST american citizens are one string of bad luck from homelessness. that's it. one string of sufficiently bad luck.

but that's why we hold a culture of rugged individualism and "well they made bad choices," 1) capitalist propaganda stretching across our entire society because any change to address it would hurt corporate interests and 2) people voting against their own best interests because the propaganda goes on and on about how bad it would be to have? a real social safety net? like just a baseline service of the government, as any by and for the people should include, to care for the elderly, disabled, sick, or otherwise disadvantaged is considered "Bad" and "Socialism"

it is DEEPLY uncomfortable to recognize that pretty much any time for any reason any given person could become homeless, so as a way to avoid cognitive dissonance, the blame is placed on any individual homeless person's choices rather than the systemic injustices that put them on the street.

i could go on for hours more, but if i did i might do something stupid. so i'll leave it with this:

drug addiction? not their fault, because that's not how addiction works, and people usually start doing hard drugs to avoid an amount of misery that would lead to outright killing themselves, so decriminalize drugs and implement more robust social services to help however many millions of addicts we have.

mental illness? even less fault, it's fucking mental illness? idk call me crazy but if someone's suffering from mental illness.... help them? like? who gives a shit "oh they're crazy" YEAH because they're out here with ZERO access to ANYTHING that may mitigate symptoms. fucking of course they're crazy, anyone else would be too

homelessness can't be blamed on the individual if homelessness is a part of the system working as intended.

tl;dr: fuck anybody who talks shit on homeless people, mfs too stupid to understand the only reason they're NOT homeless is luck

Liberals be closer to nazie that socialist ? Paint le socked !

[u/RedStarPartisano → u/horseradix]

We do need to bring back asylums, thats not a Lib take.

[u/Moonghost420 → u/RedStarPartisano]

Do we have a massive mental health crisis in our society? Yes we do. Would asylums fix, solve, or improve that?

Not even a little bit.

Do we need more residential healthcare facilities for people with extreme versions of mental illness? Absolutely. There are plenty of people with severe schizophrenia or other disorders who have been abandoned by their families and by the state.

But by and large the entire asylum system we used to have were just prisons and torture camps for people society wanted to forget about and pretend didn’t exist. They were rarely about giving people a safe or therapeutic place to live, in practice they were a shameful nightmare where the most vulnerable people in our society were treated like garbage.

You literally just described an asylum

[u/Sad-Truck-6678 → u/RedStarPartisano]

Shhhhhh they can't handle that

[u/tensav]

I believe this is called projection.

[u/Ok-Albatross899]

“Homeless” is a propaganda word…seriously man FUCK this guy

[u/chipiberth]

Elon Musk is simply a piece of shit

[u/Needausernameplzz]

I’m a special case of parental abandonment and an honors college student. I’m perpetually afraid of homelessness. I’m just making bad choices ig

[u/Ayuuun321]

Isn’t he a drug addict with severe mental illness? Oh wait, he doesn’t have a home either.

That’s not how it works, Elon. Not everyone who is unhoused is a drug addict or mentally ill. Just because you are, doesn’t make other people.

[u/Extra_Situation_8897]

what a complete fucking POS

Society assumes someone has inherent worth or value because they're successful or rich, but this guy lacks the basic values that make someone a human being

fuck him

[u/Moonghost420]

In all cases, the word “billionaire” is a lie. It’s always a propaganda word for sociopathic addicts with severely broken brains who are so greedy and selfish that they would stomp millions of people to death just to acquire more capital.

They are parasites who will destroy our species and our planet if they are not eradicated.

[u/Dependent-Play-7970 → u/Moonghost420]

Unlike Elon, everything that you said is factually true

[u/spicyhotcheer]

Even if they all were violent drug addicts with severe mental illness, why can’t we get them the help they need?

[u/NBJayden]

Oh, of course he hates homeless people. Who could have figured X)

[u/Willgetyoukilled]

Is he not the same person who is responsible for dissolving many Federal government jobs?

[u/scramble_suit_bob]

Kyle Kucklinski rabidly endorsed a pro-genocide candidate for president, twice.

[u/Dependent-Play-7970 → u/scramble_suit_bob]

Because he thought that Trump was worse and would make things worse not because he thought that they were a good candidates

[u/nihilistmoron → u/Dependent-Play-7970]

Probably time to move on man, they are a good gateway into this but it's time to ditch them and go further left.

I would recommend revolutionary blackout live, but maybe sabby sabs is where you wanna go first.

[u/RedStarPartisano → u/scramble_suit_bob]

Facts

[u/nihilistmoron → u/scramble_suit_bob]

I could be mixing up the various liberals but didn't he also endorse fetterman before?

[u/Dependent-Play-7970 → u/nihilistmoron]

He did that was before fetterman went full republican and basically betrayed all of his voters and lied about who he is

[u/nihilistmoron → u/Dependent-Play-7970]

Tbh he was already an isn'treal shill at the time. If I could find that out . I refuse to believe this semi-liberal political channels didn't know about it.

Especially when they make this their bread and butter.

You can only be wrong so many times before you lose credibility.

[u/Dependent-Play-7970 → u/nihilistmoron]

Well aside for his views on israhell he still promoted himself as a progressive and advocated for left wing policies

so again Kyle was wrong to endorse him, but he acknowledges that so I don’t think that’s on Kyle it just means he was fooled like many other people into believing him

Kyle now acknowledges that Fetterman was a hack and a liar and even points out that he’s a disgusting Zionist

[u/nihilistmoron → u/Dependent-Play-7970]

They have been wrong so many times however. Again if I could find that out and I'm not a professional political guy as they are supposed to be there's no reason to give them this much grace.

At that point I came to the conclusion that they are either really inept at their job hence I shouldn't be following them or they are actually adept but are purposely lying/leaving things out to actually help the democrats.

Either way its no reason to be following them when they are better alternatives.

Again I recommend the revolutionary blackout network. But maybe start with sabby sabs.

[u/Dependent-Play-7970 → u/nihilistmoron]

Kyle has said that he’s basically too gullible and that he takes people at face value and that he understands now that he shouldn’t do that

Lately I’ve seen him doing the opposite of that but at the same time it is frustrating how he uses that excuse

I mean it was obvious to me for a long time that Joe Rogan was a hack and yet Kyle still acted like he was on the side of the left. I will check revolutionary blackout network thanks

[u/nihilistmoron → u/Dependent-Play-7970]

Personally I think you're showing him too much grace but to each his own.

Do give the rbn guys a look though. What I really respect about them in particular is outside of the mutual aid they do( one of their members is on dialysis but still does it) but also the fact they're mostly activists who's done a lot of on the ground stuff. So you get a lot more information that I think you wouldn't get from the pmc style liberal channels.
