Welcome to the land of the free, you are free to die of hunger in the streets and no one will give a flying fuck.

That's patently false. Lots of cities are making it illegal to be homeless in public spaces like streets and parks.

Ok then you are free to die of hunger if you are homeless but don't do it in a public place.. good..

What's the point of that rethoric? If you didn't see someone homeless dying of hunger in a public place like streets then the problem it's solved and people like that didn't exist?

Welcome to the land of the free..

What's the point of that rethoric?

It's black humor.

He's pointing out that lots of people don't seem to have a problem with homeless people dying. They just have a problem with homeless people dying visibly in the streets instead of invisibly somewhere else. Or, even worse, actually addressing the causes of homelessness like building enough housing so the rent isn't too damn high.

It looks like you think they’re disagreeing with your point, but they are jokingly disagreeing with your scope.

You were like “i think it’s bad and bad and people in charge don’t care that it’s bad”. They were like “i think it’s horrible because the people in charge just want to make it worse.”

Yeah I understand the black humor, what I didn't understand it's the rethoric of it, I mean what's the whole point into letting people die of hunger but stopping them of being seen? A whole non-sense fascist rethoric?

Edit: IDK if it's just me but it's something evilish don't you believe?
