im actually in favor of charging them for this, and using the most overpriced government contractor you can find, with some absurd conditions about how visible they can be from outside (not at all) etc. maybe add an expensive certification. if their heritage is really that expensive, they can pay out the ass for it.

or, gouge them just the same, and give all the money to the SPLC or something.

also, date each statue was comissioned constructed and finished.

and a reminder of the names of every piece of shit who voted for it. addresses, for the ones who are still alive.

why make them agree?

remind them of an actual civil war hero, and just take them down, killing any CSA fuckers who get in your way?

if we need the materials for anything, or it gets too expensive to keep in a box, sure. lets not give this scrap priority over other scrap.

satire is dead.

why do the sociopaths who declare noncompliant unhoused people ontologically evil want us to understand them, when they won’t even try to understand the people who make THEM uncomfortable?

uh huh. i bet you need to open powershull to do that though, dont you? or does linux not even HAVE powershall?

see, this is why you linux cultists just cannot sway people, you’re all pushing this insane operating system that can’t even print to a printer that’s powered off in a block of concrete launched to orbit a distant star and be a russel’s teapot to drive any aliens sending probes out mad.

ooh, did they sacrifice the goats in the factory? pretty snazzy; i haven’t bought any new hardware in years, and this might just be the impetus I need to run out to microcenter.

WHY do these people not want structure, or shelter, or society?

have you considered that? have you fucking asked that? why someone might want to see the world burn? or do you just accept when you’re told they do, and assume they’re a magical evil monster?

I used to do a lot of work with unhoused populations. I tended to get those people, because nobody else could deal with them. I could, because the structure I offered wasn’t coercive, the shelter I offered was clearly defined (when I could offer any) and no-strings-attached, and the society I was working for was one that would include them and give them a voice and treat them like fucking human beings.

okay. so someone wanted to drink on the streets. there’s a reason. maybe a dumb reason, maybe a crazy reason, but a reason. I’ve been pretty close to taking this option before, once after seeing some shit that an emergency room kicked out, once after dealing with police victims. if I had been complicit and tied into existing systems, if I hadn’t read all the theory and committed myself to working against oppression, I would have done something an awful lot like that.

seems like you just really enjoy throwing people away, and don’t want to put any effort into understanding awful shit that they’ve experienced and how it motivates them to do the things they do, which you sometimes find odd.

no. shut the fuck up with this authoritarian garbage. when the “shelter” offered comes with a slew of dehumanizing draconian traditions, forces them to abandon other resources (including pets, which are also functional when you’re homeless) and wildly precarious, you would have to be fucking stupid to take the deal. cut this shit out, or let me impose those conditions on YOUR shelter.

nah, they’re about to happen, just late. check india and silicon valley.

and honestly, I would like to sit on a bench at night without worrying im keeping somebody out of their bed. that would be cool. I would like to stop the streets smelling like piss. I would like too walk on the sidewalk without having to detour and step into the street to avoid people’s homes at least twice a block.

clearly, armed neo nazi thugs, even if you LIKE armed neo nazi thugs (we should, um, have a chat separately. what the fuck is wrong with hypothetical you?) don’t make that happen. and for the libs: you wouldn’t even have to look at human tragedy beyond their full comprehension every time you go outside! yes, you would have to give resources and basic human dignity to the ‘undeserving’, and supply side jesus WOULD damn you to eternal hell (being homeless in san francisco but during extreme weather events), but the few years before you die would be substantially nicer.

you don’t know how many drains that sysadmin installed under her altar, do you?

because printers are the most proprietary fedjacked snitchware that has ever existed.

open source DIY paper printers need to be a thing.

its not, but as a point, the AI shit heads really do show what copyright law always meant, who it was always for. its an a call to the rest of us that we must sail the seas.
