    You said it yourself that the US government does not have a rule stopping the abuse of the homeless by local government. That is US government failure.

    And I do not draw a different between local and federal. It is still the US government, the US system as a whole. Pretending that there is no failure occurring here is nonsensical.

    And the point wasn’t about bench modifications, but the horrific and obviously visibly failing state of US infrastructure people can see with their own two eyes being completely ignored in favour of anti-homeless shit. But you’ve only focused on the minor point while ignoring the far larger one.

      There’s a lot of things I criticize the US government about but advocating for federal government overreach into something that’s distinctly a local city issue is not one of them.

      And the point wasn’t about bench modifications

      Yes it was. That’s what the original commenter I was replying to was talking about. You’re the one trying to strawman the discussion into something else entirely.

      Btw, this is !liminalspace@lemmy.world, not some political community on lemmygrad.ml. Go take your America hateboner and aggressive troll behavior somewhere else.

        "Protecting the homeless is overreach lmao. This is why america is in the dire state it’s in, because people that claim to be left wing are overtly right wing by the standards of literally anywhere else in the world.

        I am British. Why should I like america? And why do you assume everyone is american? Also bringing weird ultra-nationalist rhetoric into this is fucking weird, and goes to show just how ““left”” you actually are. In the UK you’d be a tory.
