-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Going to need to see some honest arguments for forcing people to house sexual predators... In fact I'm quite sure there's an amendment saying you can't be forced by the government to house anyone on your personal property (which I do think should be lessened, or we should have more Rights to passing by laws). Sounds like you're believing the progressive side is a very slippery slope.
It's for people who can't even imagine that unhoused people struggling with addiction could ever actually get help...
In their vision of the future those people stay on the street instead of getting help so they can stand in their own again. Even if they never can, them having their basic needs met makes it safer for everyone.
It's not that they intentionally are arguing in bad faith, it's just a total.lack.of empathy. They don't see those people as humans that need help. Homeless desperate people are a "thing" to them, not a bunch of individuals.
Imagine, we could have a better world if the capitalists would pay their fair share. If that happened, you wouldn’t need to argue!
