There is a thing called "homeless shelter" and Im pretty sure its more than just a tent

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you think they let you live there permanently?

In pretty much every country other than the US they do, these images are always very strange because they're so focused on the US.

If they can live there permanently, they're not homeless, are they? And that sounds surprisingly anti-capitalistic, almost like what this meme is talking about.

Getting these people help makes sense from a capitalist perspective too, help them and they can work again and probably do a full life of that. It really isn't anti-capitalist.

Yeah they do, actually. At least in most countries...

Then they're not homeless. If you have a place where you can live as long as you like, you have a home.

Why is it not a residence if you can stay there indefinitely? That sounds like a residence to me. The Internet tells me that 'residence' means 'the place in which one lives; a dwelling.' If they don't ever have to leave, they live there.

So homeless people dont exist then? Because where I live, everybody could go to a shelter for as long as they like.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If they don't live in a shelter indefinitely, yes. They are homeless.
