      There’s hope, you’re just living in a system that makes people fend for themselves instead of supporting them. You can move to a society that does, or you can try to change yours.

      It turns out that helping people get a basic level of living standards and access to mental health services actually makes for safer communities that can prosper in multiple ways, paying the community’s investment back many times over.

      A distressed teenager committing violent acts on an undeserving target. We’re dumb and violent, and the struggle for survival brings those traits out in spades. But homeless teens were never going to be the deciding factor in our survival. Climate denialism, state-sponsored violence, artificial scarcity of survival needs, bigotry embedding itself in our institutions, there are plenty of better reasons to lose hope than this
