Living Amongst America’s Homeless published in 2018 by Perry Castillo, is a blog post about homelessness and the best way to find effective solutions to extreme poverty and homelessness. I am mentioned in the discussion under the blog post:
“One thing I’ve noticed in the past two years of living indoors is that I am far from being the only ex-homeless person who is airing their views on the matter. I’ve tuned in especially to Ms. Adora Myers, whose recommendations on this pinned Quora post seem to me to be well worth considering, as well as is the detail with which she answered an offensive question without bothering to dignify it: https://www.quora.com/Should-homeless-people-be-rounded-up-and-forced-into-work-camps.”
Thank you Perry Castillo for the compliment and the link to my Quora posting!
I am beginning to think that the visceral hatred of the homeless is fueled by subtle propaganda. What other explanation could there be? Mere class arrogance doesn’t seem to explain it.
The propaganda against poverty survivors has never been subtle. It was literally the reason behind racism and face-based-slavery in the USA. Rich people pitting poor people against one another for their own benefit has been happening for centuries. maybe longer.
