Kim Possible :kimoji_fire:The Feds patrolling DC neighborhoods, peering into cars with flashlights, puzzle me. Are they looking for folks sleeping in their cars? Is that illegal, to live in your car, or take a nap in your car?!? I hope DC folks get creative. Have cut-outs of scream ghosts, or whatever.

Kim Possible :kimoji_fire:@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange I think it's partially performative "tough on crime" bullshit, but also, those in power and business owners really do want the homeless locked up. They don't want to actually solve the problem, just to blame the victim, the same way they do with every instance of misfortune. "Be born into wealth, you lazy bum!"
What will bring about systemic change? I fear it will take a lot of collective suffering to shake people up.

@kimlockhartga@beige.party @Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange When wealth is built on excessive real estate pricing, homelessness is inevitable. The system can’t tolerate a fix.
Nonya "Fucking Bitch" Bidniss@kimlockhartga@beige.party I think that's correct. It will take a mass uprising and/or huge national strike to affect the trajectory of the U.S., and neither one of those will happen without extremely widespread, severe suffering, especially of the middle & upper middle class. Like not only the urban, but also the suburban and rural people who are doing pretty well, will have to be the main mass of people who stop participating in...well, daily life I guess.
Dr. Eric J. Fielding, PhD@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange @kimlockhartga@beige.party Will the Trump Gestapo take the homeless people out of DC to Alligator Auschwitz or another concentration camp?

Nonya "Fucking Bitch" Bidniss@EricFielding@mastodon.social @kimlockhartga@beige.party If the U.S. follows the Nazi Germany template. Trump has already issued an executive order on forced institutionalization of homeless people. The Nazis put political enemies in concentration camps first, then moved into a campaign of institutionalization, sterilization, and euthanasia of the mentally ill and disabled. They expanded to homosexuals, people labeled "gypsies," and ultimately of course, Jews.
