Goddamn, I just came across this post in LA's Reddit and I don't think I've ever seen Los Angeles and the United States roasted so accurately and devastatingly. The state of our cities really should be a national embarrassment.
A lot of people don’t understand how bad it is. I’ve slowly watched the neighborhood I grew up in slowly add more and more housing encampments over the years. In recent years, I’ve watched it even spread into the outskirts of suburbs.
Lord, the subreddit for my local area is such a cesspool. On one hand, they’ll be all BLM this Indigenous land that, but on the other, straight up talk about shit like that 😐.
Liberal identity politics specifically excludes economic marginalization. Otherwise, they’d have think about capitalism, and that’s not what liberals ever want to do.
Yep. I move around a lot, and whereas I used to only see this sickening poverty and homelessness in big cities, its very much hitting mid size and smaller ones now too.

We’ve got people suggesting concentration camps and ghettos for the homeless, too.

The duality of liberal mind. And they don’t even see the contradiction
Dems and Republicans will come together to make this a reality. I worry for our unhoused population.
In California they want to ship people out to the desert and wash their hands of the problem
