We should create an online database of every single government official who enabled this cruelty (criminalizing poverty) in any capacity and make it a public website.

If the political winds change, we.can decide what to do with it later.

There is so much distributed culpability for this cruelty that it's easy to just throw one's hands up in defeat instead of recognizimg their are people who are culpable and could be held to account at some point lawfully.

The dissenting opinions are just painful reads.

Yes. That is literally the plan.

They want to either kill the homeless or jail them so that they can be enslaved for free labor.

Constitutional originalists and spitting on common law, name a more iconic duo.

All originalists should have to explain why they’re doing something to Thomas Paine

And they have to dig him up with a spoon to do so. By hand, no outside assistance.

You know it.

If everything is illegal then you are already a criminal. Can't get out of it? Commit to it! That's already the problem with the system we have today. Stop making things worst!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well actually you can't die either, that's illegal. Let me know if you find any other options and I'll make sure they get illegal'd as well!

It's fine we'll just put people into inescapable debt and have their options be a labor camp or a comatose bio-energy source. You will of course incur medical debt for the comatose option.

It makes perfect sense, the supreme court is just subscribing to the same belief of vaunted UK politicians that homelessness is a lifestyle choice. Perfectly reasonable, just choose not to be homeless, problem solved. /s

If you're homeless, go to t Your town's rich people area and sleep near their mansions. La Jolla near San Diego for example. That's also where I humanely drop off animals that get into my basement like possums and trash pandas.

Only when it happens to the rich are rules changed. If you persist, suddenly it will be legal to sleep in the city streets again!

After all, homeless people used to be housed people. The banks took their homes after their bosses too their jobs. Whoever lives in their old house basically is just in the round robin of people.

If you're sick of this, in the DC area, and need a saturday activity, reminder that there's a "Mass Poor People’s and Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington, D.C. and to the Polls" in Washington DC tomorrow morning 10 AM. Make it if you can. Yeah I know the title's absurdly long and marching doesn't do shit but what else are we gonna do.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago (3 children)

marching doesn't do shit

It's a beginning.

what else are we gonna do

We'll boycott, strike, riot, and revolt.

Import french La Revolution

They even sent us a big statue so we wouldn't forget.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I guess we'll follow your lead then

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

No, you fucking dolt!

The whole reason we're in this position is your refusal to think for yourself.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Well this is an explicitly peaceful march so leave the rioting for another day
