What radicalized me? I have seen multiple cases of law enforcement/local governments destroying a house someone built there to live in, in some cases on their own land.
They claim it’s for their own good. How is sleeping on the street better than your own built up shelter or cabin? They say they were offered shelters. Why, they already had somewhere to live they built themselves. Building your own home gives you purpose and fulfilment, relying on handouts takes this away from you.
I can understand it when someone build a castle without permission or if there is a danger to others. But anything that is clearly a temporary structure, so cabins, sheds, tents, yurts, etc. Maybe check if they are ok, but leave them to it if they are happy there. Homelessness is largely a result of deliberate government policy.
it’s about control. people get a dopamine hit from managing others, from power, because it motivated humans to organize and have leadership, but it gets out of control and cops and government officials get a huge dopamine hit from the power of destroying someone’s home
it’s exceptional cruelty, and make no mistake, they get off on it
the scum who hurt vulnerable homeless people should be rounded up and tried for their cruelty, but sadly human beings are as a whole such scum that this emotional destruction and cruelty of the most down-trodden is completely acceptable.
