They have a hard time "accepting help" because as often as not; it isn't really help.
Its libs jacking themselves off with the monkey paw; doing awful shit using nice words so they can feel good while being assholes.
Sure you get a room and three meals a day! No pets, must detox first, curfew but also you must have a job, and also dont mind the bars haha yes we do have to lock you in.
You must be out of your mind to prefer sleeping in drug riddled unsafe camps in a leaky tent to what you just described. You tried to make it look bad, but even with your hyperbole it really isn't.
You've obviously never been homeless or had an animal you gave a shit about.
I love my dog. I only adopted her when I had the living space and security to take care of her. Strange how that works huh?
I wonder how much you actually care about an animal if you think it's something to be used as leverage for not having to better your life.
Like half of Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless. So what point exactly are you making? That you're morally superior for being better off? Or that we should wait until we have at least two paychecks saved? You have all the answers?
My answer seems to be living in a developed country in Europe. I can tell you, I felt very superior about the place I live walking the streets of San Francisco last year and being harassed by homeless people every street corner asking me for money or drugs.
Also yes, have at least two paychecks saved if that's a possibility for you. It's hilarious how you try to make your own advice seem like some alien concept that's unachievable.
I didn't feel morally superior at all, but the way you people are unable to come up with any good excuse why homeless people don't want to use the help that's available to them and instead turn into raging incoherent idiots is quickly changing that.
Had the dog when you became homeless.
Found a stray who helped you, with emotional support and doggishness(finding food, staying safe), as has been a thing since before humans ever slept inside anything other than a fucking cave, to survive.
Seems like you just want an excuse to hunt them for sport, because realizing they're so fucking similar to you and youre like two pieces of paperwork (not even filed by you, doesn't even need to be correct) away from being in that position is Fucking Terrifying, but you also don't want to have a society where we don't let this fucking happen to people, because you're afraid you won't get as many of your favorite treats.
Don't be that guy.
Lmao all these assumptions and strawmen. It's really not worth my time to respond to your incoherent ramble because I actually got my shit together. Good luck, don't let your copium run out.
So you don't deny any of it? Just deflect abd reassure yourself that 'I have my shit together, so it can't happen to me'
Cope
Why do they always say exactly that? As if I'm the one with the fucked coping mechanisms here, instead of responding to anything ive said, like its some sort of gotcha?
Are you mad?
You're not even responding to shit I said; youre just like three comments into trying to find an excuse why I'm someone you shouldn't listen to, because compassion is too scary for you, but you would feel like such a huge ass arguing against the things I've said, and you know it.
But why are you mad?
Why do I think I might be mad?
A quixotic commitment to logic and reason, proven impossible to complete a century ago, even after Edward Bernays and ivy lee thrust a dagger unto the heart of truth? All realities that interacting with you really drives home. Its mildly frustrating, but it does also make me question, in little ways, if all of this is mad, and even if we can do better, we shouldn't, and I should just be trying to maximize harm at all times.
I also think you're a total asshole completely scared to have basic compassion or humanity, but, like, That's more disappointing than frustrating, and not wholly unexpected.
Damn but y are u mad though?
Shit. I guess bevause my mom never loved me. Same reason ive got a thing for older women, I bet. Theres this whole social thing where everyone says 'your mother loves you' and it was just... Harrowing as a kid? At least kids with dead moms got to just say that and people believed them? There was room for something else there, but I didn't have the luxury of being allowed to heal, every moment around that awful fucking woman was a twist of the knife, a reminder that I wasnt worthy of love, wasnt supposed to be loved. And that kind of fucked me up as I developed. There are empty places, and theres nothing I can do about them; there's nothing I can do to heal those wounds, because they can't be healed. They're just kind of always a part of me now, you know? And I'm angry about it
But I don't see what that has to do with this.
How about you? Why're you mad?
Ok but why are you mad though?
I Just told you. do you not remember? are you okay?
U mad?
