    They only make unhoused people look sympathetic when they want to use them as weapons against people they hate even more than poor people. Any other time they’re just freeloaders too lazy or drunk to get a job.

      Make a second panel where the student has invited the unhoused person into their tent, attempted message entirely undercut in one fell swoop.

      They are saying that while homelessness exists, no protests to save people from a genocide are valid. Homelessness should be solved at hone before any aid abroad.

      The point is to say that if those protesting really cared, they would volunteer for the homeless or give them tents rather than protest themselves in tents.

      Its a false equivalence to undermine them.

    Using the homeless to kick down on refugees is fine, but actually giving the homeless a home? Nah, fuck them.

    I don’t understand what’s this supposed to mean or if it’s supposed to be funny but I also don’t care so 🤷‍♀️
