capitalists will literally be like “it’s cheaper to address homelessness by installing hostile architecture and hoping they all die rather than giving them a place to live” and bootlickers will be like “sounds good to me”
and studies will be like “No, it literally IS cheaper to give them a place to live” than do other shit” and bootlickers will be like “SOUNDS FAKE!”
More often they’ll be like “BUT YOU CAN’T JUST GIVE THEM SOMETHING FOR FREE, THEY NEED TO DIE OF EXPOSURE LIKE RESPONSIBLE ADULTS”
The last one is it. You can show them the research demonstrating that it will be cheaper and they’ll say, literally HAVE said, that giving them something “before they earned it” is in some way immoral, that it’s somehow unfair or hurtful to people who have jobs, and that it will make people “lazier.” They genuinely think the threat of starvation and death is where work ethic comes from and that this is the glue holding civilization together.
They also tend to convince themselves that people who are homeless often did something to deserve it, and therefore we must keep them punished until they fix their situation by themselves.
These are murderous, sadistic, obscene views to hold and the people who choose to hold them barely have any humanity.
