    A lot of people don’t understand how bad it is. I’ve slowly watched the neighborhood I grew up in slowly add more and more housing encampments over the years. In recent years, I’ve watched it even spread into the outskirts of suburbs.

      We’ve got people suggesting concentration camps and ghettos for the homeless, too.

        Lord, the subreddit for my local area is such a cesspool. On one hand, they’ll be all BLM this Indigenous land that, but on the other, straight up talk about shit like that 😐.

          Liberal identity politics specifically excludes economic marginalization. Otherwise, they’d have think about capitalism, and that’s not what liberals ever want to do.

      Yep. I move around a lot, and whereas I used to only see this sickening poverty and homelessness in big cities, its very much hitting mid size and smaller ones now too.
