Are you saying we should shove homeless people who are statistically disabled into the front lines to be massacred? Wtf we need to protect them not murder them.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

They don't let the poor or unhoused get near people with power.
If one can think in abstracted objective self reflection, the reaction to "arm the homeless" opens a window on one's internal biases. If one is afraid of another exercising their right to protect themselves as egalitarian citizens, that is an abusive prejudice. If one is afraid of the repercussions, that is where society presently lacks the impetus to solve the homelessness problem. It costs far less to solve the issue properly too. Narcissism will likely make this logic obscure or blind a person from themselves.
In an idealized exaggeration, the fact that there are so many homeless in the USA is why they should be armed to fight back against a society of prejudiced passive exterminators that harm the disenfranchised of a terrible system.
Maybe I take longer showers... probably the shampoo...
No amount of censoring this sentiment by Lemmy.world and corporate socials will change the fact that impoverishing so many people will result in consequences for the owner class.
They know this too hence why the looting is accelerating. They are stealing everything that can be stolen and then they will try to impose authoritarian regime to protect themselves from the wrath of the person classes.
Socia Economic Conditions are becoming untenable for majority of population and even the so called winner PMC class aged under Gen X are starting to wonder wtf is this really all about, daddy.
Exactly. You can't spend your entire life planting seeds and then be pissed when the trees start to grow
