How do I *actually* help the homeless people in my city?

>>939501409 (OP)
Campaign for the return of sanitariums.

See them walking? Give them a ride. Or ask them if they want the food that you don't use/want in your cabinets. Even the small gestures are appreciated.

>>939501682
holy shit this is the worst fucking advice i have ever read, kill yourself

>>939501951
lmao, I bet you're too pussy to let a stranger into your car. Either you don't trust homeless people or you're trying to help them. Pick a lane.

>>939502086
no fucking shit i don't trust them you dumb faggot, just kill yourself for being so stupid

theres nothing you can do to "fix" their life, they are where they are because of a broken flailing impotent society. you can provide them with stuff like this >>939501682, warm clothes and blankets for the upcoming winter would be good too, waterproofs etc are all good for relief. fight for foodbanks and shelters to stay open, shield encampments with your body if you have to.

>>939502621
Honestly a good number of them that I've seen are the way they are due to mental illness. They refuse to go to shelters because drugs aren't allowed in the shelter and you get searched at the door.
During the winter they set up an encampment near my work and the ground is littered with trash and needles. These people are not "down on their luck;" they have zero desire to live a prosocial life. And the only way to help them is to separate them from society.

>>939501409 (OP)
If by help, you mean get them off the streets: let them live in your house for free.
If by help, you mean clean the city up: set fire to every tent you see

>>939501409 (OP)
You can bring them food and blankets. You can donate to the homeless shelter or soup kitchen.

>>939502994
>And the only way to help them is to separate them from society.
you mean like, putting them in group homes? no, fuck that, i used to live with a crazy bitch in a group home, we don't want them there either. that bitch didn't "need help", she needed a fucking bullet to the head.

>>939503334
I mean mental institutions if they can be medicated and salvaged, or gas chambers if not.

>>939503456
they can't be salvaged, trust me, this bitch was medicated heavily and still acted like a fucking malevolent animal

>>939503334
>putting them in group homes
friend used to work at a one and this lady was costing the state 50k PER MONTH due to how messed up she was (extra staff?) and there was nothing physically wrong with her but she had attempted suicide

>>939501409 (OP)
Go to encampments and offer blowjobs

>>939504552
Or dope laced with high amounts of fentanyl.

>>939504758
hand out mcdonalds with rat poison to a hundred homeless people. The upfront will be high but the results will be entertaining.

>>939501409 (OP)
Set fire to their tents

Get them jobs they can do or help them get the things needed to fill out a job application and then receive contact from a potential employer.
Information on services that can help them will do them good. The service can't help them if they don't know about it.
Backpacks, blankets that can keep the wind out, and the opportunity to clean themself and their clothes would likely help too.

>>939501409 (OP)
Tell them to get jobs.
They're homeless cuz they're lazy and/or have drug/mental problems they refuse to get help for.

>>939502086
You can help the homeless without letting a potentially homicidal dirty stranger in your car. Bus tokens for example.

>>939501409 (OP)
Don’t get them used to receiving help. Do one off favors or help them help themselves.

Offer to employ them give them ingredients to make the food. Etc. (do not provide direct resources that they could use to sabotage themselves and cost you a lot of money. IE money etc.)

Even if it’s only an illusion of doing something for themself it’s still important to only do something that helps them help themselves.

This principle can actually be applied to society as a whole for very little money. It’s hard to buy a kitchen, make a sandwich, and then deliver it to homeless.

Much easier to teach someone or encourage them to do all that on their “own.”

It’s especially important because it encourages them and increases their own confidence (and other positive mental effects.)

A lot of the reason people are unfortunate in the first place is not only circumstance but mental health.

With my philosophy you can help people with just mere words let alone materials or goods.

Give less fortunate people rides to work (someone who needs a ride to work is far far less likely to rob you than an average homeless person.)

Teach them a valuable skill or how to stay get employed. Hygiene habits that make them more employable and approachable etc.

Again you personally not even need do this, seriously consider polities that may have this effect and approach your local government for implementation. Or hell you don’t need to go to the government necessarily talk to non profits or places like churches.

>>939505388
This also has the benefit of producing extremely driven and competent people who hold you in high esteem.

The social credit of people productive enough to work themselves out of absolute poverty is valuable.

So in a sense you are doing this for moral reasons but also for material and social benefits. It’s a win win win.

The more manipulatively and evil you employ this stratgem the less effective it will be.

That’s why corporations and governments haven’t produced this strategy let alone use it daily.

But if you look at humans on an individual level they do this quite often. Without even knowing it.

There literally aren't enough jobs for everyone.

>>939505299
That is about as ignorant as a coherent comment on this topic gets. The only reason you don't deserve to be called a retard for saying it is that there are some homeless people that wind up that way because they were mental or druggies from the start.
Homeless people are poor people. That is all there is to it. You don't wind up with money just by being sane, drug free, and willing to work.
There are homeless people with college diplomas in actually useful fields. They didn't wake up one morning and say "Time to be so lazy that I wind up homeless."
They did what they could for a good life and got fucked over anyway. The same could happen to anyone not born with a silver spoon in their mouth. No amount of thinking you are better than others because your life has not completely collapsed around you will change that either.

>>939505388
>>939505546
just kill yourself

>>939505647
I am aware. A stable income is still what they need. You cant expect the government to care half as much about them as they do coddling illegals so government reliance is not the way.

>>939505647
There’s an infinite amount of work, it’s just employers know there’s enough supply of workers to undermine us all as a class.

Organize and refuse to work unless they give you want you want. Or find careers with less workers. Or gather your coworkers together and start your own business.

>>939505707
kill yourself

>>939505806
you are so fucking stupid

>>939505756
You’re pissed because I can solve the problem profitably.

Anyone left after my solution is implemented simply doesn’t want to work and wants to continue being a sponge that drags everyone else down.

My solution is universally fair to workers employers homeless benefitors(those helping) etc.

My solution is cheap efficient humane and makes society and your community better as a whole.

>>939505873
As opposed to the genius breathing with his mouth screaming at me like some kind of monkey with aids.

>>939504758
No, just blowjobs

Kek, really pissed off some corpo bootlickers didn't we?

>>939501409 (OP)
go work at a food kitchen.
Like really. It helps.

Then when you go. take a bag of clean new socks.

Besides that nothing.
Nothing is going to change the world till all the billionaires die.

Throw molotov cocktails at their encampments at night.

>>939506087
Do it. Sooner or later the homeless will return the favor. The more houses the homeless burn down the more people are in the same boat as them. The more people in the same boat as them the faster the problem gets resolved by someone that isnt a psychopath.

>>939501409 (OP)
When it gets cold, I go to Walmart and pick up a bunch of the cheap fleece blankets and hand them out.

why would you "help" the homeless, what kind of fucking stupid pussy does that?

>>939506184
No they won't, they're too strung out on drugs. When the homeless people get uppity, normal people will just shoot them. Problem solved.

>>939501409 (OP)
Fixed settlement location. Consistency of where they sleep makes all the difference for the ones who just want a job and to keep one.

>>939501951
>>939502086
I guess you two are too retarded to read "or give them food." Don't want to give rides to himeless people, then give them food.

Read more then one sentence, dipshit.

>>939501409 (OP)
i was a homeless person myself for about a week and i would honestly say to offer them your kindness and respect as if they are anything but those things then you are setting them up for failure

>>939501409 (OP)
You alone? Volunteer at your nearest soup kitchen and/or homeless shelter. Try to advocate for people to get therapy and/or rehab. You can't save them all but if you can even touch a few lives and get people to better themselves, you're doing God's work.

A little over a decade ago I was homeless, and smoking crack. The people helping me never gave up on me and today I got a job that I love and support myself in my own little cozy apartment.

People like you who want to help others are the reason I kept fighting and got myself to the point I'm at now. God speed anon.

when you see them sleeping or doing the fent lean, kick them in the head as hard as you can

>>939506184
>Retard doesn't know about home insurance
If my house burns down I get enough cash from insurance to buy another. Sure it would suck, and I would lose a lot of money and possessions, but I am not going to be homeless.

I also have enough in savings for a down payment on a new house if I absolutely had to do it because I am not an idiot and I have a real job, because I got a real degree in college.

>>939508483
>Everyone has fire insurance.
Yeah. Ok. Stress test it. When the city is on fire and everyone is homeless, dead, or on their way to being one of the two see how much the insurance company is willing to bleed.

>>939508606
What is it blm again? Why would the city be on fire?

>>939508631
If you can't bother to keep up with the conversation don't insert yourself into it. At least try to not sound like a LLM.

>>939508289
That's actually the time to blow them

Give them free gay blowjob to ease their suffering.

>>939501409 (OP)
You have to actually purge the shit out of them, kill them all, clean the city boy

>>939508963
Have you ever left your room once?

>>939509057
Yes and there's a lot a shitters out there. The answere is right in front of us, is just that no one is brave enough to make it happen
