And go where? Someplace else that doesn’t want them?

Be real, you just want them to die. To be gone, permanently. Don’t address the reasons people are homeless. Don’t provide actual housing. They’ll be fodder for labour camps soon enough, anyhow.

Nevermind there are currently 28 vacant homes for every one person experiencing homelessness in the U.S., many of which are owned not by individuals but by corporate conglomerates that have no incentive to fill them with people, since they’re a tax write-off.

Fuck everything about this. In modern society, housing should be a human right. There’s already more than enough to go round.

e: though now I think about it, what else should we expect from the US’s most famously notorious slumlord?

It's a lot more sinister than that.

He started with the immigrants, because there was a tenuous theory under which his personal police force was allowed to fuck them up and do whatever they want. Some little speedbumps aside, that worked out okay, no one stopped it. Now he's talking about federalizing the police force in one particular place, and moving on to the next target, who are citizens, American people, and where there's not even that vague theory that he's got a right to be throwing them in detention and letting them die of the natural conditions there.

If no one stops that, then it moves on to the next group.

  1. Preparation

  2. Planning

  3. Execution

  4. Consolidation <== you are (already!) here

  5. Domination

  6. Extermination

[-] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

I'd disagree on one point. The reason he started with immigrants is because on a deep level, many people - certainly most of his supporters - are somewhat racist, and are OK with immigrants getting fucked over, deported, or slaughtered.

Idk that'll basically be everyone the course we're on...

Not all our jobs are gonna make it through this mess. Many will be faced with a choice of 'join ice or be detained.'

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Nobody was safe in Hitler’s Germany. You could do everything right and be slandered by the guy who thought you charged him too much, and now you’re a gay, and thus eligible for Dachau.

This is fascism.

He doesn't just want them dead, the rich want us dead. Make no mistake, they believe AI was the turning point they needed* to finally no longer have need of the labor of the poor. And they believe the culling of the poor is the best thing they can do to combat climate change (without any personal sacrifice, of course).

*And no, the fact that AI isn't remotely the miracle they believe it is does not matter because they believe it is even though they're wrong. And yes, the rich do believe in climate change, even as they deny it to our faces.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

They need to be taught they're not as smart as they think they are, and they need to learn the cost of their hubris, just like their predecessors did. These are people who have convinced themselves their success means they're geniuses, rather than them being extremely lucky or sociopathic. They believe this because they pay people to be their 'friends' and stroke their egos, so they don't live in reality. Most people go along, because they're hoping that 'success' will rub off on them, and then they fall into the sunk cost fallacy. And worse, 'if I act like him, I'll be successful, too', so they become insufferable cunts, but they can't stop because that means they were wrong.

For the oligarchs, there's no convincing them. The only solution was pioneered by Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin. They can't be swayed, because they're parasites on society. We're talking about money hoarders, who are the same as any other type of hoarder – they could have every penny ever made from the start of humanity until now (and Elon is so close to that it's crazy) – more than could be spent in thousands of years. But it's not enough. It's pathological, but in this case, it's actively hurting not just their immediate family but everyone on earth.

Think about it: what would you do if you had so much money, your descendents literally couldn't spend it all in 1,000 years if they spent a million dollars every day after you died? Would you just sit on it and try to accrue more?

Most of us, I think, would try to end world hunger, or use the bulk of it in a way that would make a major positive effect on humanity. But look at what Musk is doing with it.

anything to distract from his child and wife rapist past.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Hey, don't forget about those random women he attacked!
E Jean Carroll wasn't his wife yet she still got raped.

[-] jimjam5@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Child rapist. I’m surprised he hasn’t already issued the national guard to round up the homeless folk.

[-] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

This man would throw fellow Americans into a woodchipper if it would make people forget that he was best friends with a child sex trafficker

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

And that multiple trafficked girls seemed to be from trump beauty pageants.

Man who has done absolutely zero to lower the cost of living, or provide public housing, and has actively destroyed government charity work, has in fact created an entire new class of unemployed people, but now demands they be nowhere near where he might see them....... Hitlerpig is too pleasant a name for this obese, orange, completely inadequate Oompa Loompa!

Trump has mastered the lack of object permanence.

if he doesn't see homeless, they don't exist.

if he doesn't see employment numbers, they don't exist.

Telling someone who doesn't have a home to move is the most Trumpian thing he's done in... like 3 days?

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Still not as Trumpian as fucking kids and covering for pedophilies

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

At this point I think we should just start calling them the Trump/Epstein files.

Where does he want them to go?

[-] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago

I don't get the impression he's thought that far ahead.

[-] Waldelfe@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

Oh, he (or someone else in his circle) surely did. Make it illegal for them to be there -> they have nowhere to go -> they go to prison for illegally existing -> free slave labor.

On November 23, 1933 The Nazi Party passed the Law against Dangerous and Habitual Criminals. This led to beggars, the homeless, alcoholics and the unemployed to be sent to concentration camps.

[-] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh they already passed that “~~law~~” executive order 5 weeks ago but no one noticed because they were stirring up so much other shit at the same time.

Let’s keep the homeless and work to house them. Then let’s take the Orange Turd and send him to El Salvador.

Most homeless used to have a home just like you and I. This president doesn't care about anyone.

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I remember reading about a horrible statistic on the homeless. While many will talk about 17% being vets, or what the new number is. Based on interviews and polling of the homeless, an estimated 35-45% are people that grew out of the foster care/orphan system. Nearly half of the homeless likely never had a place they could call home.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Child “welfare” in the states is legal human trafficking. Basically no qualifications to run a group home. Lots of kids end up in sex work because it’s better than being at a home.

Can't move if you don't live anywhere

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

the favorite tactic gop uses, is bus them to blue states to hobble the states resources, than they can have sound bites for fox, and grifters, see look at nyc and california, they cant handle thier homeless population. Also they dont want to alert the news that they are doing it, so it wont look like the gop states are doing it on purpose, and the blue states are attracting the homeless all on thier own. the amount of homeless drastically increases in blue cities around the time of his first term too.

When i was young and i saw in One Piece that they burned the area that the homeless people were living just to make the place better due to a high noble visit, i thought this only happens in television. Now i know.

[-] vorpuni@jlai.lu 7 points 1 week ago

The Olympics have this every time. Summits for the elite too if it's needed. What's a bit new here is how shamelessly it's advertised.

[-] jonesey71@lemmus.org 4 points 1 week ago

They temporarily move the homeless out and move more prostitutes in for those summits.

It's been happening in the real world for a long time.

There's all sorts of anti-homeless architecture out there such as changing benches to make sleeping on them uncomfortable, or adding spikes anywhere on the ground someone might seek shelter. We waste so much money and time attempting to make these poor peoples lives more miserable when all of that could have gone towards simply removing the issue of homelessness.

[-] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

I wonder if he will pet them know by post or email? Will they be sent to work in a "poor house"? Seriously, no one chooses to live homeless. These are the people who need support. Right now, the US is causing an increase in the homeless population.
