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

    sicko-wistful mfw when wishing that we could address the social conditions that push people toward choosing self-destructive patterns of behavior instead of treating it as a scarlet letter that justifies (further) ostracization.

      I know we all know that capital uses drug abuse and the larger sphere of vagrancy as a social pressure/conditioning tool, but it’s crazy to me that people always vote to do everything to make “crackheads” and other of that outcast social caste’s lives worse. We always want to punish the vulnerable and downtrodden simply for the mistake of being vulnerable and downtrodden. It’s really just the worse thing, and creates downward vortex of misery.

    I say this to my parents when they complain about poor people doing poor people things, which is every time they go on a road trip and get confronted by reality. Whatever instinct for class consciousness they had was completely annihilated by watching liberal cable news during Trump era covid isolation.

    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
