if a person is complaining about “crackheads” there is a 1000000% chance someone in their family owns a Klan hood fash-bash

    I don’t know. It’s sad, but I lived in a shithole for a long time and there was a constant high presence of literal psychotic homeless people. I got chased - like they literally ran after me like five times for no reason at all. One burgled my house. Just yesterday in the new area that I live, one came up to me in a public library and blew a raspberry in my ear. I just looked up at him and smiled, like ‘haha’, nodded and then went back to my reading. He comes up behind me again and says he’s going to kill me, and that I should meet him outside, unless I’m a pussyhole.

    I can understand complaining about it. Everyone I knew around there, from very wide range of ethnicities, all lower class, all had something to say about ‘crackheads’. I think the klan hood analogy is a bit reductive. I understand it’s society that’s made them that way. I’d still rather they hung out elsewhere. It feels especially unfair that those who created the homeless problem are insulated from it, meanwhile the lower class areas have to deal with it.

      i get what you mean, its bad for everyone around when people deep deep in the throes of drug addiction become a legitimate danger to others as well as themselves.

      It feels especially unfair that those who created the homeless problem are insulated from it, meanwhile the lower class areas have to deal with it.

      this really hits deeper-sadness and its 100% a deliberate tactic by the ruling class which makes it all the more infuriating and awful
