if your opinion is, it's correct to chase homeless people out of the few spaces they have access to, being told you're an anti-social monster who doesn't deserve anything good until you fix your revolting black heart, is getting off super easy.

opinions on how to best reorganize urban settings to promote access to parks and public transportation? i'll be respectful. "opinions" that displace and kill people? they create complicity in murder and violence and you deserve to be absolutely and firmly cast out of any meaningful discussion.

if you're uncomfortable with unhoused people existing, go do some activism. when enough of you murderous clowns come around and something gets done to house these people, great. we're good. until then, shut the fuck up you monster, they hang out in populated spaces as means of survival, not to inconvenience dumb privileged slobs like you.

there's no middle ground or space for debate here in ethical or pragmatic terms. your behaviour is disgusting and violent. it doesn't matter that you're too stupid or selfish to know or care.
