Edit I kinda made this post out of spite for the fact the most previous post [https://slrpnk.net/post/2167450] in this community, whose title I quoted/copied, was getting so many downvotes… At the time I posted this, the previous post had about a 30% downvote rate, and it really, really made me mad. I am relieved tho to see people in the comments here who have real, actual empathy for their fellow humans. Thank you for contributing here. It blows my mind how normalized it is to hate on those who are struggling. Especially in 20fucking23 when so many of us now are on the verge of it ourselves. Let’s be better, everyone - to everyone. I beg you.

      I wonder how tolerant you’ll be of people shooting heroin in your backyard when they all decide to move there, seeing as how welcoming you are.

      I live in an area where homleless junkies are a protected sub-class, and before I moved here, I never witnessed a murder, or ever saw people shooting up drugs with my own eyes. Two murders later, and having to call the police to get them to remove junkies from our property later……

      If you have kids, you might want to re-think your support and shift towards donating to systems that will help them NOT be homeless. Because internet blowhards that contribute nothing towards helping these people are cringy at best.

      Stop enabling them.

        Actually, I live in the downtown area of a major city. I see lots of homeless and drug abusers. So does my 10yo son. Some of them are shit people but the majority of them just need help.
