And go where? Someplace else that doesn’t want them?

Be real, you just want them to die. To be gone, permanently. Don’t address the reasons people are homeless. Don’t provide actual housing. They’ll be fodder for labour camps soon enough, anyhow.

Nevermind there are currently 28 vacant homes for every one person experiencing homelessness in the U.S., many of which are owned not by individuals but by corporate conglomerates that have no incentive to fill them with people, since they’re a tax write-off.

Fuck everything about this. In modern society, housing should be a human right. There’s already more than enough to go round.

e: though now I think about it, what else should we expect from the US’s most famously notorious slumlord?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 117 points 2 weeks ago (12 children)

It's a lot more sinister than that.

He started with the immigrants, because there was a tenuous theory under which his personal police force was allowed to fuck them up and do whatever they want. Some little speedbumps aside, that worked out okay, no one stopped it. Now he's talking about federalizing the police force in one particular place, and moving on to the next target, who are citizens, American people, and where there's not even that vague theory that he's got a right to be throwing them in detention and letting them die of the natural conditions there.

If no one stops that, then it moves on to the next group.

  1. Preparation

  2. Planning

  3. Execution

  4. Consolidation <== you are (already!) here

  5. Domination

  6. Extermination

Idk that'll basically be everyone the course we're on...

Not all our jobs are gonna make it through this mess. Many will be faced with a choice of 'join ice or be detained.'

Nobody was safe in Hitler’s Germany. You could do everything right and be slandered by the guy who thought you charged him too much, and now you’re a gay, and thus eligible for Dachau.

This is fascism.

The ghettos, like the Jews in Nazi Germany.

Like other dictatorships building golden palaces and keeping their area nice while not giving a fuck about other places.

Like his planned gaudy gilded ballroom?

The number of people who could be fed and housed with that money should make you sick if you’re not a monster.

[–] natecox@programming.dev 39 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That fucking ballroom is proof to me that he doesn’t plan on leaving at the end of this term.

There is no way that selfish greedy fuck would spend the money on this if he didn’t think he would be around to use it for a long time.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

To be fair, he's spending taxpayer dollars, not his own money.

He doesn't just want them dead, the rich want us dead. Make no mistake, they believe AI was the turning point they needed* to finally no longer have need of the labor of the poor. And they believe the culling of the poor is the best thing they can do to combat climate change (without any personal sacrifice, of course).

*And no, the fact that AI isn't remotely the miracle they believe it is does not matter because they believe it is even though they're wrong. And yes, the rich do believe in climate change, even as they deny it to our faces.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They need to be taught they're not as smart as they think they are, and they need to learn the cost of their hubris, just like their predecessors did. These are people who have convinced themselves their success means they're geniuses, rather than them being extremely lucky or sociopathic. They believe this because they pay people to be their 'friends' and stroke their egos, so they don't live in reality. Most people go along, because they're hoping that 'success' will rub off on them, and then they fall into the sunk cost fallacy. And worse, 'if I act like him, I'll be successful, too', so they become insufferable cunts, but they can't stop because that means they were wrong.

For the oligarchs, there's no convincing them. The only solution was pioneered by Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin. They can't be swayed, because they're parasites on society. We're talking about money hoarders, who are the same as any other type of hoarder – they could have every penny ever made from the start of humanity until now (and Elon is so close to that it's crazy) – more than could be spent in thousands of years. But it's not enough. It's pathological, but in this case, it's actively hurting not just their immediate family but everyone on earth.

Think about it: what would you do if you had so much money, your descendents literally couldn't spend it all in 1,000 years if they spent a million dollars every day after you died? Would you just sit on it and try to accrue more?

Most of us, I think, would try to end world hunger, or use the bulk of it in a way that would make a major positive effect on humanity. But look at what Musk is doing with it.

Telling someone who doesn't have a home to move is the most Trumpian thing he's done in... like 3 days?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 74 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Still not as Trumpian as fucking kids and covering for pedophilies

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

At this point I think we should just start calling them the Trump/Epstein files.

On November 23, 1933 The Nazi Party passed the Law against Dangerous and Habitual Criminals. This led to beggars, the homeless, alcoholics and the unemployed to be sent to concentration camps.

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 77 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Oh they already passed that “~~law~~” executive order 5 weeks ago but no one noticed because they were stirring up so much other shit at the same time.

Man who has done absolutely zero to lower the cost of living, or provide public housing, and has actively destroyed government charity work, has in fact created an entire new class of unemployed people, but now demands they be nowhere near where he might see them....... Hitlerpig is too pleasant a name for this obese, orange, completely inadequate Oompa Loompa!

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Trump has mastered the lack of object permanence.

if he doesn't see homeless, they don't exist.

if he doesn't see employment numbers, they don't exist.

Classic conservative mindset.

Ignore a problem or demand that it cease to exist instead of figuring out how to solve it.

They really are like children.

The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital.

I hear they are building a resort in the Florida Everglades, I bet that's where they send them....

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

They're also building additions to military bases in 20 other US states to act as "detention areas" (concentration camps).

Trump's apparent plant:

  1. Take their money until they're poor.
  2. Say it's their own fault they're poor.
  3. Punish them for being poor.

When i was young and i saw in One Piece that they burned the area that the homeless people were living just to make the place better due to a high noble visit, i thought this only happens in television. Now i know.

Every homeless person in this country should have marched on D.C. years ago., they should camp on the national mall and refuse to leave until we get FDR’s second bill of rights.

Oh, he (or someone else in his circle) surely did. Make it illegal for them to be there -> they have nowhere to go -> they go to prison for illegally existing -> free slave labor.

I was walking down a street in Berlin yesterday and we almost missed five little golden paving stones in front of a house.

I wonder if you'll have some of those in the US after all is said and done. Probably not, but I reckon y'all need some fucking reminders because apart from fucking Alamo you seem to have awful short memories.
