https://youtu.be/OKcI6XQl4ZII live down the street from Echo Park in Los Angeles CA and I'm tired of the dehumanization of the homeless. I saw on the news a few days ago that the SWAT team was sent to clear the homeless out of the park.The comment section on this youtube video is absolutely atrocious. So many idiots, who could also easily end up homeless themselves, are vilifying homeless folks saying that they are all on drugs or stupid and that's why they deserve to be homeless. I am in the comment section replying to each stupid comment that's dehumanizing the homeless but it's overwhelming. There are way too many morons in the world who still think homelessness is largely the fault of the individual. Sure there are homeless folks on drugs and who poo and pee where they want, but all homeless people aren't like that, and just because there are homeless people like that, it doesn't change the fact that as long as there is the commodification of housing then there will ALWAYS be homelessness. Society is a Pyramid Scheme and THAT is why homeless exists. So many folks ignore this fact it's disturbing.Folks who dehumanize the homeless are so quick to bitch about "mUh TaX dOlLaRs" going towards helping their fellow citizen, but they don't care that their tax dollars go towards wars, bank bailouts and paying off the national debt. They say that homeless people are freeloading on society but they ignore the fact that capitalists/rich elite freeload on everything: human labor, the planet's resources, etc etc.
