On that topic I wish D&D had shame and they kept the thread for 'tracking Biden's campaign promises' where they were all crowing and condescending in March 2021 about all of those missions he accomplished.
You know, just so you could quote all of the 'erm actually by nominating a gusano to be the first latinx head of DHS Biden has already closed the concentration camps'

gavin is just so tired of the homeless not being rounded up abd warehoused
that's literally the context here. CA dems are inacting a "CARES act" which is specifically about setting up courts and retainerships to force the homeless to legally go where they want them.
The same year he's crowing about a budget surplus big enough to end homelessness and house every homeless person in CA gavin and his veto proof majority instead set up a court system that allows CA to institutionalize them

Yeah. What I love about that quote and plan to specifically allow local governments to force the homeless into court ordered programs before they commit any crimes and put them in conservatorship if they don't comply is it's 100% a 90's republican plan.

For extra comedy, if you said "Look at this plan from Texas, and here's what Greg Abbot said about civil rights advocates protesting it." They would absolutely boo and hiss the mean red team.

Last week there was a little piece local media ran about a local whining about homelessnesses and it was just a perfect distilled view into the liberal mindset

she moved to Portland from the East Coast five years ago because she wanted to live in a more progressive city.

Oh word?

quote:

she shared stories about how the crisis has impacted herself, her friends and neighbors.

“My friend is a realtor who just recently lost a deal because a homeless camp popped up in front of a house the clients were going to buy. What if that’s how you made a living? Are you going to subsidize that loss for him?”

Lmao

“They blame it on unaffordable housing,” Rose said. “That’s part of it, but it’s also enabling, and they don’t want to give up that narrative,” Rose said.

If I were homeless I would simply choose not to be, as soon as society stopped enabling my footloose and fancy free lifestyle







-otherwise I would be unpersoned and sent to a treatment facility until I made that choice

the fun part of that is how those involuntarily institutionalized homeless people are going to be used as slave labor. using convicted prisoners as slaves is legal, because this is a demon cracker nation. using people who were not convicted of a crime is very much not legal, due to some minor conflict i have been assured was about states' rights. this will not matter at all.

DS9's sanctuary districts were way more humane than what we actually got though.

You got shelter and an ATM card to withdraw welfare money. And all it took for the American people to start sympathizing with you during a riot is a heartfelt plea that homeless people have families too. If the homeless actually rioted and god forbid kidnapped some cops in real America the public would be baying for their blood

If you're a service worker and you call the police because a homeless person is assaulting you they will straight up refuse to come help you. But if a homeless person makes a petit bourgeoisie uncomfortable by simply existing it's straight to jail.

you can get liberals to support slave labor if you simply call it by a different name. It’s gross and lol if you think camps for the homeless set up in this country by elite shitheads like newsom will end up as anything other than sanctuaries of unimaginable cruelty, much like private prisons

It’s because mass visible homelessness is a sobering reflection of what American capitalism is really about beneath all the bullshit advertising and progressive campaign slogans, and this scares the poo poo out of people like newsom

nah, a Newsom supporter/the average CA lib, sure. But Gavin? He's strictly a climber with 0 ideology or conscience. His entire thought pattern is "this will get me votes, and homeless people are icky" there's no reflection of the cruelty of capitalism, just subhuman filth he wants gone.

This is an undoubtedly correct assessment of Newsom, but it's also a 100% correct assessment of why homelessness is a problem to be dealt with as brutally as possible by any politician in any arena. I have a modicum of sympathy for California as a place where the unhoused won't automatically freeze to death at night and therefore will always be a destination for them to go, but that just means that the problem can't be dealt with on a state-by-state basis and must be addressed comprehensively at the federal level. And given that it can't be solved under capitalism, can't be solved locally, and the federal government (from a domestic administration perspective) has all but collapsed except for instances where it needs to continue to exist to benefit capital, there is no humane examination of the problem, much less work toward a solution.

I'm not giving Newsom a pass on being lovely but I am willing to admit he couldn't do anything to solve it even if he wanted to (which he doesn't and which is a totally separate unsolvable problem).
