I'm sure you have all noticed this from various comment boards to Reddit and 4chan. "I'm a Christian but (communist bullshit)" or "I was a Republican but (more communist bullshit)". It never turns out well, the atheists will still say youre an idiot as will progressives. Why placate them? Why does nobody stand up for their beliefs? Are we that scared of cancel culture or are we just that scared of possibly offending someone? Who will be the first to say, "This is what I think. Dont like it? Tough titties, now get out of my way".

Oh, that and just blindly giving money out just because it's a human that asked, just gets you labelled as a "sucker".
I disagree with basically everything you said there.
Going one further I think of all the people I've replied to today you and I are probably the most out of sync in terms of our perspective on what is virtue.
You're a scrooge.
Well, I could give that meth addict asking me for money some change, but he'd just go kill himself with it. Because I know damn well where the poor people go, and where the free food is. If he's "Native", I know he also gets band payments.
Maybe you're right, maybe I should just be non-judgy, and give money to whomever.
If you're choosing to live in a place where you're surrounded by addicts, that's on you.
Maybe it's different in the US, but those are the only assholes begging for money on the street.
They are NOT going to use it for "food", and welfare will buy them work boots, so don't fall for that, either.
