The Oregon case decided Friday is the most significant to come before the high court in decades on the issue and comes as a rising number of people in the U.S. are without a permanent place to live.

And imma keep advocating for kicking those selfrighteous fuckwads off their collective benches so they can get a more upclose view of their shit

It's not as if these folks can just go off into the woods and build a cabin. There's no where to go that isn't owned or protected. You gotta sleep somewhere, it's not a choice, people need to sleep.

Next is extermination camps

Forcing people into shelters or jail is super fucked up. If I decide I want to camp out in a tent and remove myself from the capitalist grind I should be able to do it unmolested. These fucking vampires think they own every grain of sand.

Sounds like the solution is for the homeless people to protest by refusing to sleep in shelters, forcing the police to arrest them all, overcrowding the jails and clogging the court system until the entire system grinds to a standstill.

So what do I know, I haven't been homeless in 15 years

All the old Marijuana convictions being overturned means the corporate prison system has a shortage of free labor. Seems like jailing the homeless puts them back on top. Big Brain SCOTUS. /s

Jail = free labour

Shelter = help

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Jail = makes $$$

Help = costs $

The math is clear.

Sounds like this will inevitably happen anyway. It's not like they are bussing homeless people to Colorado are they?

No actually, I am asking are they doing that, because I can see them doing that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

it's not exactly a new thing, but yes. they've been trying to bus people as far as they can get away with.

In case you ever need led hardproof that America is not a Christian Nation.

But the Church will help! Our doors are always open! With strings attached, of course.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

Feels pretty spot on for the Christians in the church I went to as a child

They want to imprison homeless instead of house them to exploit them for slave labor. Abolish slavery in prisons and see if they keep outlawing homelessness.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Homeless people who get arrested for camping and similar minor "offenses" are typically quickly released. Many of them have mental health and substance abuse issues, so they're not the best workers. Even the prisons don't want them.
