Those rich bastards may have raised 60k, but the city still is fighting and the proles have raised 30k to counter the anti-shelter fundraiser, according to the article. It’s not over yet and the city may still get the desperately needed shelter.
Imagine if they donated to helping others instead of helping lawyers.
That would be communism.
If they choose where their donated money goes, it’s still capitalism
Ah, NIMBYs.
Eat the rich.
Hey, they vote Democrat and dress like hippies still so they’re not the problem. All the filthy poors and scary minorities just need to stay out of their neighborhood and they’ll be fine.
The whole planet’s your god damn backyard you hypocrites! Build a habitat for humanity!
excusiez moi, monsieur; what the fuck?
Can’t rich people ruin Texas or something? Why one of the closest thing to a semi-redeemable part of the US?

Ports, food, and various entertainment and tech industries are there. Only way for them to move to HellWorld is if Texas offers more attractive policies for those industries which are unlikely to happen. Not to mention the government is also supportive of this faux progressivism. Newsom defended against removing prison slavery because minimum wage costs too much lol
Ironically, all those amenities were propped up by America’s so-called “undesirables”.
Whether CHUDs want to admit it or not, America is a boring place and the few places that aren’t boring are dominated by the very people Americans are told to hate.
Why are we posting news from 2019? How did this get this upvoted and nobody noticed? I get that this sucks and the rich people in this situation are garbage, but this does nothing but stoke rage. There are plenty of examples of rich people being garbage in 2023.
Fucking NIMBYs
They could have just voted Republican if they were just going to oppose the same policies they voted for…
They are fine with building shelters…just not within 100 miles of their homes.
The most normal lib shit.
Sure, but do you live within a few hundred feet of a shelter? Do you walk your dog during the day and see the the daily cavalcade of ambulances and police cars stopped outside one? Ever been stopped at a red light outside your building and had someone walk up to your window asking for change, then curse and spit on you because you don’t carry cash?
There’s a huge difference between helping people get back on their feet, and just sheltering drug addicts.
I was writing out a response talking about my experience the past 2 years living 1 block away from a bus station they converted to a shelter.
But I fucking hate you. Your post has angered me so much I don’t want to be enlightening or even funny.
thank you for opnion, Mr.
Epic Bacon @ lemmy.malding-liberals

What time does the narwhal bacon my gentle goodsir?
wow, ok fuck you too then lol
Actually you pay taxes for the American military to murder brown children and for Tesla to fund research into a new car model
Your tax dollars go towards killing brown kids and drone striking weddings not social programs, American.
Wow, shocking that a liberal with a le epic bacon username holds Reagan-tier ”fuck the poors and druggies” views
Except that your taxes go into making bombs to blow up kids in the Middle East and for Zelenskyy to launder money in a country with an economy 1/3rd the size of South Africa, with immeasurably worse pay, labour conditions and lower quality of life.
:pigpoop: :PIGPOOPBALLS: :horsepoo-theory: :eat-ass:
Yes but they would feel bad for putting a GOP sticker on their Tesla
Can all these NIMBYs just pack up and move to Tallahassee already? Seems like they’d be way happier there.

Make all the Marxist declarations you want, but I bet dollars to donuts, if the compassion received in your daily existence was withheld (compassion you don’t recognize due to your lack of compassion for others), you would be a much more miserable person than you’re already showing yourself to be.
I honestly don’t understand the point of this comment.
The quote HappyBadger posted is from philosopher (among other things) Karl Marx; it has been abbreviated and taken out of context. The full quote says:
“We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror. But the royal terrorists, the terrorists by the grace of God and the law, are in practice brutal, disdainful, and mean, in theory cowardly, secretive, and deceitful, and in both respects disreputable.”
Marx made the declaration when Prussia sent soldiers to shut down his newspaper; he was saying force will be used against the State’s attempt to use force as a way to suppress people.
The article to which HappyBadger is responding is about PEOPLE suppressing people while the State is trying to show compassion; antithesis of the original purpose of the Marx statement.
By abbreviating/misrepresenting the quote, HappyBadger is saying that he wants no compassion, in turn will show no compassion, and that he’s not apologetic for his behavior.
My response attempts to call out his post as a lie. Our everyday lives are filled with moments of exchanged compassion; all of which enrich the lives of the givers and receivers. It is an unspoken aspect of how individuals relate to one another within a social context.
If HappyBadger truly has no compassion, then he is likely a very unhappy person. And if all the unspoken, unsolicited compassion received throughout his daily life was truly taken away because he didn’t ask for it (and supposedly doesn’t want it), his life would be made all the more miserable because of the lack.
