No. You dont pay people to exist for the same reason you dont feed the bears.
Yeah man if I give the 50 year old lady at my bus stop some spare change for fare and a meal she’ll lose interest in foraging for desiccated salmon carcasses and lose her natural fear of people. Next thing you know she’s in the suburbs, running around on all fours trying to eat a corgi
Or she’ll spend it on a forty ounce bottle of swill or some smack to put in a needle and inject into her arm. But hey as long as you feel like you’re doing something, right? That’s what’s important.
I’d rather be duped out of my money a dozen times than withhold assistance from someone out of cynicism.
Fucking grow up and develop some compassion for the people you share a world with.
Fucking zip your cock holster shut you virtue signaling piece of feces.
wow nice comeback, so intellectual and grown up lmfao
anyway, deciding to deny everyone the couple of bucks they need to afford, say, a meal, a shower, a ride, a place to sleep for a night, a new piece of clothing, entrance to a place with wifi (because internet is a necessity for the job application process, for example), one of those prepaid phone situations with a certain amount of minutes on it (because a phone number is also often a necessity for job applications on top of general emergency services or just straight up communication with loved ones), or any number of other similar low cost things that go toward bettering one’s situation just because you’ve got it stuck in one of your three brain cells that homeless automatically equals drug addict (and hard drugs are apparently that cheap lmfao) so they MIGHT do choose to do some drugs is absolutely fucking idiotic and wildly ignorant, you’ve clearly never once in your life actually considered what the situation is like beyond what you saw on cartoons and internet memes
just say you don’t like the idea of helping others and go
I mean, frankly, if someone’s first impulse is to take the two bucks I can spare them and save it up for a shot of heroin, I already know one thing about them, which is: their life sucks considerably more than mine, or anything I have heretofore faced, and they deserve my sympathy far more than my scorn. Homeless people, surprisingly enough, are people. Pull your head out for a moment and try to imagine what it would take for you to choose heroin over food and shelter. If you’re honest, you will admit to yourself that the most likely answer adds up to life-destroying problems in one way or another.
You do a disservice both to your fellow humans and to your own soul if you look at someone with life-destroying problems and decide to view them as an animal.
