This narrative is pushed all over the communist sphere in places like Reddit. you always see things like “almost all of the homeless are just people who lost their job, their car broke down, they are just like you and you could be next.” Uh, just no. There is a mountain of difference between most of the homeless I see who being locked in asylum is the compassionate thing to do, and me and normal people.
I honestly feel like those people just cannot be left alone, they NEED a guardian to even function, why give them money anyways if they use it for crack, meth, alcohol or whatever is the rage now. They will NEVER fix their issues on their own and because of that there will always be homeless. There's people who can be helped but it's not the majority and not even a big minority, its a very, very small minority that can be fixed that way. Others are just entirely broken and better off if they OD.
It sounds cruel but is the sad reality we live in.
Yes. They need to be institutionalized. It worked in the past and it can work again if people stopped dicking around like there's some new fangled solution out there.
