    I can tell you have no idea what im talking about you’re literally the person in the tweet who thinks its a simple issue that is easily solved by giving people food and housing. I dont know what planet you live on but people have food and housing and still commit crime. Giving people a good quality of life reduces crime but there are other factors at play.

      I expect your mind is made up and that you already realize this, but it’s not that this idea would solve all crime, it’s that it would help. It’s about which policies do the most good.

        You dont think I understand that this helps? I know this helps. This tweet is acting like they’ve found an absolute fact and no one in government is listening but that doesnt track at all with reality and “memes” like this erode public trust in government. The reality is every single leftwing government around the world knows this and even right wing ones at this point. They have all implemented some form of policy based on this understanding but it’s not a silver bullet and government is a balancing act and at some point you still need other approaches like police.

      You are exactly the suit that is being lamented in the meme. Your narrow minded view of the world was programmed into you and you’ve not shed it yet.

      Crimes of desperation don’t happen when people aren’t desperate. Most petty thefts are crimes of desperation. Some of jealousy.

      You’re just unthinking and uncaring as a result of your conditioning. I hope better for you.

      You’re getting robbed blind by suits while seeing desperate people trying to survive as the problem inside a system designed to crush them under a jackboot.

      It doesn’t have to be this way.

        Why are you saying crimes of desperation when we are talking about general crime. Most of the people committing crime have food and a place to live. It’s not all homeless starving people.

          I’ll agree with you.

          Like is someone stealing a ps5 to hawk it for food or pay rent? Sometimes but definitely not always.

          It’s kind of pathetic how everyone is acting like this is a simple issue that you fix basic social safety nets and there won’t be crime. Just as pathetic as right wing takes on immigration or basically everything.

      Gaslighting is abuse. It’s why centrists do it all the fucking time.
