A large part of the problem is that many don’t want help

Take your own advice.

"a large part of the problem'" does not mean "the whole problem"

Saying "a large part" is just weasling out of the fact that you want to say "all", but realise you don't have the evidence.

Stop putting words in my mouth.

Stop making your mouth the right shape for them.

That doesn't even make any sense. Because you, in your wisdom, have decided that I am the kind of person who must believe [x], you are going the believe that I, personally, individually, do in fact believe [x], despite my explicit words saying I don't believe [x].

Alternative facts have taken hold of this fucking generation.

Your explicit words have not demonstrated you don't believe x. Your explicit words express a view very, very close to x. A view that seems, to me, carefully presented.

That's not how reality works.

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I didn't say anything about how reality works. If there's something I said that violates fundamental laws of physics, please, explain, instead of simply asserting I did so.

Or, better yet, let's get back on topic.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There is no topic. You claimed I said a thing. I said no. You said "yeah but you were thinking it". I said no. You said "I reject your reality". So here we are. Nothing further to discuss, except perhaps how ridiculous your approach to dealing with the world is.

You've said most homeless people don't want a home. This is demonstrably untrue, and blames them for their own suffering.
