Really?

I’m not asking you to magically fix unemployment, I’m asking you to realize that a lot of the things you’ve been saying are common talking points used to demonize the unemployed and make it seem acceptable to enforce all kinds of draconian bullshit that ends up hurting more genuine people than “scroungers”.

Only about a third of that applied. Some of that was in respect to a person who was literally taking my necessities while buying themselves liquor. And while I do understand that much of what was said is used to demonize those who shouldn't be, it doesn't make the statements themselves false. I don't want to demonize people in need. I want people who are really trying to get all the help that they need. But the other side of the coin exists. Pretending it doesn't because we don't want to offend or screw over the people putting in the effort is just as detrimental.
