In a presumably leftist/anarchist Lenny instance, even.
It’s fucking terrifying how many leftists have internalized the capitalist propaganda that unhoused people are inherently dangerous and that collusion with agents of state violence is necessary to protect us from them.
It’s like veganism, really. It’s sad how defensive people get when their feelings contradict their moral principles and they decide to put their feelings first.
Nothing inherent about it. Where I live homeless people are often mentally ill addicts and that naturally brings unpredictability and danger to others. Being homeless isn’t a free pass on being a danger to others. So calling cops seems entirely warranted if someone is being threatening or dangerous to others.
