Sleeping rough is eye opening. But the folks closest to the atrocities are inevitably the ones who have the least power to stop them.
Only remedy for that situation is the kind of mass organizing of the lumpen proles that hasn’t seriously happened since the 70s/80s. Thanks to mass surveillance, brutal policing, and a corporate state increasingly run by algorithms, its harder and harder to see a world in which a mass movement can emerge again.
Doesn’t mean folks shouldn’t try. After 40 years of digging our own graves, we’re in one hell of a hole. But the only way out is to start climbing.
I do not fear becoming homeless. The state should fear my homelessness as it will only signify the next phase of my radicalization.
People forced out into the cold will set society on fire to keep warm.
They’re more likely to freeze to death.
Not in my country, because it’s hot here, not because we have good social protections.
This is the most gen z comment
Yeah the state doesn’t worry about the homeless as a threat to authority. Where have you ever seen the homeless in organised political action?
The Bonus Army? Not necessarily homeless, but pretty close to it.
Your radicalization poses absolute zero threat to the state.

Enough radicals and the state is threatened.
Eventually, minor iterative quantitative changes will result in a drastic qualitative change.
