I’m imagining one of those problem-guys saying specifically this during a game.

You’re damn right I did.

Because Lemmy is one attempt to do the exact opposite. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Also, Cory Doctorow’s troll army is working full time.*

I’m not blaming the cop. But I’m also not praising him. Nobody here helped the woman. Let’s just lament her homelessness without weirdly congratulating the people who kicked her out.

a small measure of good

There was no measure of good whatsoever. Her situation was made objectively worse, and we’re presuming to praise those responsible merely for not making it even more worse. I’m not the one who created any doom or gloom. I didn’t kick her out. And it’s not cynical to sympathize with the homeless woman instead of with the people who kicked her out. Mate.

Again, it’s not praiseworthy that they merely declined to abuse her. I’m not scorning them, but they get zero credit for declining to abuse her (beyond the abuse of kicking her out with no help).

there’s a very real chance that the contractors looked the other way

Without evidence, there’s no point in this speculation unless you’re hired by their PR to praise them (which seems unlikely).

the way this world gets less shitty is when more people start making these little steps towards revolutionary kindness and then those little steps start getting bigger and bigger

Sorry, but this is absolute nonsense. It’s meaningless. She is homeless.

a woman with a home was made homeless

This is the only story. Let’s not waste time praising the heroic saints who kicked her out.

cops and business owners in this situation actually seem to have behaved in a very humane and decent way

Well it’s nice that they didn’t beat her to death. But they still kicked her out and didn’t actually provide any more help. “Services in the area” probably will be less adequate than what she’d had before they booted her.

I don’t expect them to actually take care of her, but they don’t get a gold star for declining to bludgeon, strangle, or imprison her. She’s on her own.

I never suggested they should let her stay there. But they don’t get a gold star for kicking her out nicely either.

They didn’t look the other way. They kicked her out. And I don’t blame them. But neither do I praise them or call them good.

Do you realize you can post actual pictures here instead if links?

Writing books and getting people to read them.

It was Havana syndrome, shot by a Jewish sound laser from space to make the guy crash in an attempted suicide bombing because USA is not helping Israel enough.

I am 100% serious and I have receipts.

Also the Jewish sound space laser is alien technology.

Great business opportunity for American and Israeli companies. I wonder how long it will take to bring all those children back to life.
