Edit
I kinda made this post out of spite for the fact the most previous post 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’m all for helping but you can’t expect people to tolerate being threatened, feeling unsafe, people trashing or stealing others’ property, littering places with human feces and needles…
Nobody should have to tolerate that. Offer help yes but you can’t expect anyone to put up with that. Not the homeless or those with homes.
