We have so many houses going unused. We have food and resources for everybody, but we’ve set up a system that arbitrarily concentrates most of it on a few people! Young children, with no understanding why society is this way, are suffering and dying because they live in a world that collectively agrees to let this happen unnecessarily

Fuck, I’m stoned but you know I’m right

Edit: and the sad thought hits me: the first step is realizing the system doesn’t have to be this way, the second step is realizing it isn’t going to change, at least not any time soon

    A punishment for undesireability.

    When you’re too old, too uneducated, too unattractive, too disabled, too beligerent, or an obstacle to further extraction, you’re rendered homeless.

    Homelessness is a socially acceptable method of eugenics. A homeless person has no right to property or personhood. They can be abused, imprisoned, and executed without excuse or much effort.

    Homelessness is, at its heart, a form of social murder.

      But part of what makes one homeless is bad luck. Generally, a person with a terrible personality who cannot behave appropriately will end up being an outcast…on the other hand they could end up being president
