I would love to see that a country give homes to the homeless, like Norway does. A fixed address is the basis of everything else for a possible social recovery. Handing out supplies and food from Caritas cannot ever get people off the streets. It is a shame and a failure for any state that wants to call itself first world, to have so many people sleeping on the streets, while they spend billions on military projects and only worry about percentages in the stock market.

But tjose people are so important to society!

See, the very poor/destitute serve as a triple threat to discipline the working class!

As an example of what happens when you dont crush yourself into a life of being exploited

As a release valve for emergency labor-it doesn't have to actually be viable, just believable to enough prople

And as a class they can look down on and fear, an enemy to justify the presence of and valirize the practice of policing, especially when they're forced into close contact. It's why out of the way camps are violently cleared, but there are tents on sidewalks in major cities.

All of a sudden, flag laws would be a very hot topic.

You can mess up the colors, cut it into a skull logo stolen from a comic book, but don't dare use it as a blanket, that's just wrong.
