I'm not opposed to the message, but did it have to be an AI generated picture?
I’m torn on whether this is AI. The AI detectors I put it in say no, and the letters being consistent (all T’s looking like all other T’s, etc) says real person to me rather than machine generated. The wood grain is also consistent beneath the lettering, and it and the chain link fence don’t meander or disappear in any weird ways that I see.
That said the building in the background looks weird to me, as does the lighting. And the combination of the wood grain plus the texture on the lettering does give it that weird quality that AI text tends to have, it immediately made me question it as well. I just can’t decide if it’s a weird artifact of real textures clashing or not.
Why not
Yep, it's literally in the name unhoused/homeless. Will giving someone a home fix mental health and/or addiction issues? Probably not. But providing permanent, stable housing is a necessary first step.
It's also funny to me when people say they are Christian but don't want to help the poor. The good Samaritan is very clear. So is the bit about the sheep and the goats.
But you can use the Bible to justify anything, I guess.
I'm not Christian and I don't want to see them. Also I didn't consider housing them to be my job. That's why we have government that we elect and pay taxes to in order to fund it. This is just bs sign that simply virtue signaling instead of asking hard questions.
Christianity is about control for the powerful and bedtime stories to make you feel better about inexcusable shitty behavior for the masses.
That's the church. I would take care to keep the institution distinct from the spirituality. Some of the most practicing and compassionate radical leftists I've ever met have been christian anarchists.
Love thy neighbor as thy self, because let's be real, they can just fend for themselves, and if they don't, well, fuck the poor. I mean, why should I have to take care of all these lazy bums? They're always begging for scraps anyway. It's like, if you can't handle a little poverty, then maybe you shouldn't be living here. Fuck the poor.
I have more respect for someone who goes "I hate homeless people, I think they're scum" and pushes for actually housing them because they don't ever want to see them again, over someone who goes "Oh those poor dears! We really should do something!" and then just likes a social media post about hostile architecture and leaves it at that.
I wish more countries could address this issue rather than trying to pretend it isn't an issue by implementing hostile architecture.
Straight to the jail. /s
Agreed, give people dignity and safety. We all need help sometimes
