I kinda made this post out of spite for the fact the most previous post in this community, whose title I quoted/copied, was getting so many downvotes… At the time I posted this, the previous post had about a 30% downvote rate, and it really, really made me mad.

I am relieved tho to see people in the comments here who have real, actual empathy for their fellow humans. Thank you for contributing here.

It blows my mind how normalized it is to hate on those who are struggling. Especially in 20fucking23 when so many of us now are on the verge of it ourselves. Let’s be better, everyone - to everyone. I beg you.

    I want homeless people to stop being harassed by police, government, and other people.

    If they’re harassing other people or making the place unsafe then they deserve to be harrassed by police, government, and other people.

    If society has failed someone to the point of homelessness

    “Society failing” someone isn’t the only thing that causes homelessness. Much of the homeless population are there due to their own bad choices. They deserve help, but they weren’t failed by society into homelessness.
