The bourgeois are dangerous.

Someone once told me homeless people don't deserve to have shelter because they can't afford it. I don't even think they just lack compassion, I think they don't even view us as human.

Fearmongering generalisations are about as dangerous as the bourgeoisie. Re-education is the key when it comes to individuals who lack any shred of sympathy for other human beings.

Its not the first time any of us have heard something similar. I was giving 2 euro to a homeless woman on a cold frosty evening for a hostel on Williams Street in Limerick once, outside the 2 euro shop, and a posh old woman (looking like a parody of the bourgeois) came up to us, took the coin out of her hand, caught my hand and placed it back in mine and proceeded to give me a lecture about "giving money to these people" and she started shouting into the homeless woman's face. The homeless woman happened to be eastern European, she was also an old woman, and the posh woman told her to fuck off back to her own country, she isn't the responsibility of the Irish people. My mother was with me the same day and my mother ate the posh old lady alive and told her "who exactly does she fucking think she is" etc while i followed the homeless woman to give her back her 2 euro. This homeless woman only asked me for the money directly because we chatted in the street a few times before and she kind of new me, she wasnt a drug addict or anything, but she did suffer a bit of metal illness, so do i so i had a bit of empathy with her, not every homeless person is begging for drugs, in fact most of them arent.

This guy is obviously a huge dick, but we don't do ourselves any favours by thinking that all wealthy people are cartoon villains or the pre-ghost Ebenezer Scrooge. I won't deny that there are, in fact, a lot of sociopaths in high places but it's not everyone.

When did this subreddit turn into a liberal bastion of 'every viewpoint is precious, we just need to reform people who think this way' instead of outrage at the non-ambiguous moral depravity that capitalism encourages and its beneficiaries embrace?

The bourgeoisie are never going to cede their class dominance through compassion or altruism.

So if you just want to spend energy typing out a defense of someone, go defend the working class in one of the reactionary posts on the front page.

You don't even need to get into a humanitarian or morality to see the fallacy in that argument.

There aren't two choices: die or do drugs all day. We can help bring them up to be productive members of society, whether by direct social assistance or a more supportive structure.

“I mean, I’d rather they all die than sit and do drugs and not work.”

In practical terms the benefit is not having to step over a dead body on the way to work, or deal with them standing in traffic.

I saw a guy in a hospital gown literally dying on the side walk out in Riverside. A burger joint manager had told him to not lie in the shade near the restaurant.

So he was released from the hospital and left to die.

The bourgeois are all sales pitch & no product. Subterfuge, obfuscation, deception, and betrayal, are their tools of the trade.

When you're actually producing something, the numbers gotta be right. I've been in trades where - if you lie, people die.

There's a difference in focus.

I'd like to say that I'm very tired of the wolves and sharks meme for broker/trader types. Wolves and sharks survive through inter-species predation. Brokers/traders survive through intra-species predation, which is more properly defined as cannibalism.

Caveat emptor, taken to it's logical extreme, means - if you blink, we get to eat your children...alive.

We can do better than this.

That is why we kill this swine or put them to work in the salt mines, then appropriate their resources.

They're incapable of compassion or empathy, empty headed with exception of the individualist drum-beat, parasitic, and obstacles to the struggle of workers everywhere. What could you expect from a being whose existence is predicated upon exploitation of another?
