Do they think people are profiting off by faking homelessness or something?

Nah, these particular posters just straight up hate the poor. It's real mask off. To the point that Reddit actually might consider banning this sub if it gets enough reports for the right admin to see it

Do they realize millions of people work a job, often times multiple jobs, pay taxes and everything, and still can’t afford a home?

Calvinism runs deep in America's veins. "If you're homeless, it's because you're a bad person. Your terrible situation is proof that you deserve to suffer."

God, I can’t fucking stand it when these fuckers Do the “I pay taxes” schtick. When I point out that they are no more a citizen than I am they either ignore me, pivot to something else, or stop posting for some reason.

In the winter, preferably

I hope every single person who posts there ends up ~~homeless~~ headless.

Fixed.

A Modest Proposal
For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick
~Author:~ ~Jonathan~ ~Swift~

...

I am assured by our merchants, that a boy or a girl, before twelve years old, is no saleable commodity, and even when they come to this age, they will not yield above three pounds, or three pounds and half a crown at most, on the exchange; which cannot turn to account either to the parents or kingdom, the charge of nutriments and rags having been at least four times that value.

I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasee, or a ragoust.

I do therefore humbly offer it to publick consideration, that of the hundred and twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle, or swine, and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore, one male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in sale to the persons of quality and fortune, through the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump, and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.

I have reckoned upon a medium, that a child just born will weigh 12 pounds, and in a solar year, if tolerably nursed, encreaseth to 28 pounds.

I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children.

Infant’s flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentiful in March, and a little before and after; for we are told by a grave author, an eminent French physician, that fish being a prolifick dyet, there are more children born in Roman Catholick countries about nine months after Lent, than at any other season; therefore, reckoning a year after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three to one in this kingdom, and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us.

...

Sure, the Reddit admins are pedophiles, but they’re not far-right—they’re just libs, which is almost the same thing, but whatever. As I mentioned in the OP, I once got a dude permabanned for bullshit like this.

If I had to pick between staying a homeless meth addict and having these people as my peers, even on my worst fucking day I’d stay a homeless meth addict.
