I kinda made this post out of spite for the fact the most previous post in this community, whose title I quoted/copied, was getting so many downvotes... At the time I posted this, the previous post had about a 30% downvote rate, and it really, really made me mad.
I am relieved tho to see people in the comments here who have real, actual empathy for their fellow humans. Thank you for contributing here.
It blows my mind how normalized it is to hate on those who are struggling. Especially in 20fucking23 when so many of us now are on the verge of it ourselves. Let's be better, everyone - to everyone. I beg you.
There are indeed some comments here that had my cursor hover over the moderation button, but since this was posted on the /c/memes community that has by its nature a more diverse set of subscribers and is meant to reach people that are not already "coverts" anyway, I refrained from doing so mostly. And of course @Five@slrpnk.net is totally correct that this post was "front-paged" which usually doesn't help with the discussion quality.
In the end, I think this thread had some worthwhile discussions, and maybe made a few people reconsider their hateful stance on homeless people.
