Most likely, considering the context, yes. But there were posters made during WWII with the slogan "Ждем с победой" ("Waiting for [you to return bringing] victory" or something like that. Here's one by Nina Nikolayevna Vatolina, for example, maybe there were more).

But it's not like it really matters lol

Ah, so you're a landlord, that's why you're so evil. Your whole argument here is basically "I can't exploit them for maximum profit while doing basically nothing so they all are subhumans who don't deserve help". That's vile, man.

Also, I'll take an educated guess and say that you're in New York. And since it's America, these homeless people didn't have access to psychiatric or narcologic help during their stay, and probably didn't have any relatives/friends/social workers to support them (you and your friends clearly never offered help beyond what's required for you and them to receive money). And battling mental illness alone, while still stressing about a job and where to love after the contract expires and they're kicked out because they're too disabled to look after themselves doesn't lead to a speedy recovery. Same applies if they're battling addiction.

At the same time, yearly police budget of NYC is 5.8 billion dollars. Given that there are around 100 thousand homeless people and NYC median rental rate of ~3100$/month for a studio appartment, NYC could pay for a full studio appartment for each homeless person for the whole year, and it would cost under 2/3 of the police budget. So yeah, it's not THAT expensive in the grand scheme of things.

People say that Bloodfiend nerf isn't significant, like 220 -> 195 bleed buildup or somewhere along those lines. So it's probably still viable

Ok, so you do admit that opposition to gay marriage is based on hate. Good.

And the discussion was about the fact that the vast majority of conservative policies are dictated by fear. Have you forgotten?

Can you give me one singular reason to oppose gay marriage that isn't based on hate?

Yeah. There's a lot of things that conservatives hate, that's what I was saying since the beginning. And I didn't even mention the hate of non-christians, for example, or for socialists.

And if you support some things but not the others, you're still supporting policies based on hate, so my point stands

Well... if a conservative:

• supports gay marriage
• doesn't believe in ROGD or the notion that people become transgender because of social contagion
• is okay with sex education that includes homosexuality
• supports transgender athletes
• supports transgender people using bathrooms according to their gender
• is okay with drag shows and doesn't believe they're automatically unsuitable for children
• doesn't believe that people of color are inherently more violent/stupid/dangerous/filthy/etc
• supports schools in teaching even the unsightly parts of the country's history
• supports immigration
• supports diversity and inclusion
• doesn't believe that young people are lazy ungrateful brats
• doesn't support patriarchy
• defends women's rights to abortion
• believes that government should spend more money on helping homeless, drug addicts, disabled, orphans, etc

Is this person still a conservative?

Yeah, modern conservatives are ridiculous. Haven't you heard?

How am I generalizing, beyond pointing out the defining cause behind the movement?

Oh, yeah, you should be hateful of intolerance. If you aren't, you're hurting those who are getting hatecrimed by conservatives

I should be what? A conservative? No, thank you, I live in reality and I'm not scared of made-up culture war bullshit

Then what's your problem with the comic?
