One of the most bizarre aspects of the Western Left I've found is the absolute idealization, "oh they dindunuttin", infantalization and complete and total removal of any and all responsibility from Lumpenproles.
As someone who spent a while homeless and spent several years of fucking hell having to interact with antisocial lumpenprole ""homeless"", it honestly never shocks me how bizarrely protective and aggressive the majority of most Western Leftists are when it comes to their sheer, infantalization and worship of Lumpens and Lumpen behavior.
From my experiences, homelessness basically works in two regards, most homeless are "invisible homeless" like I was, had to sleep in car, shower at gym, still go work, couch surf etc. These are mostly all good people who have just been fucked over by circumstance, and frankly, most will get out of homelessness, they will eventually move into a share house or whatever. Average Homeless period for these people is 6 months. Only reason I was fucked over so hard was because of Covid lockdowns, which quite literally made it near impossible to actually fucking find a new house legally.
But long term homeless are not like this at all, I eventually had to start dealing with Long term homeless, and the vast majority were absolute personality disordered, psychotic pathological lying, scheming assholes. Myself being a leftist, often tried to help, but help was almost always returned with a twisted knife in the back. It became clear as well, that alot of long term homeless, weren't even homeless, they had bennies and housing and everything given to them through charity or Government, but they rather just spend it all bumming around, alcohol, drugs, prostitutes, being a general dickhead etc. Frankly, it's a pretty fucking chill life if you have no asperations and don't give a flying fucking fuck about the rest of society or yourself, and that honestly was the case with a majority of the long term homeless I interacted with, genuinely antisocial, pretty predatory people who had burned most of their, if not all bridges and worse, often dragged good but vulnerable people down to their level.
Tell this to most leftists though, and that homelessness won't be easily fixed by just "giving people homes" and worse of all, that long term homeless are actually frankly, the majority of the time, gaming the system and absolutely enjoy being antisocial, and it's instant wailing and gnashing. "THE RICH ARE JUST AS BAD" blah bla
