    Elon spouts BS all the time, but $20 billion to end homelessness is some of the biggest bullshit I’ve ever heard.

    Is homelessness really Musk’s problem to solve? Or do liberals just want it to be his problem?

    Bill Gates is worth 107 Billion . Perhaps he can end homelessness as well.

    Whether someone is a drug addict with severe mental illness is irrelevant to whether they’re homeless or not.

    Do they have somewhere to live that has a permanent address? No? Then they’re homeless and need help.

    Obviously there’s a bit of nuance with things like ProxyAddress where homeless people can have permanent addresses but still be homeless, but the gist of my point is the same! Do they have a home or not?

    It’s amazing that a man who does enough ket to bring down a racehorse even dares to use the phrase “drug addict” as an insult.

    The word Elon is a propaganda word it is a lie. It is actually Felon, which is a violent drug addict with mental illness.

      Psychology Today is another corpo shit hole that avoids paying taxes in the US. Article writers are verified in the loosest sense of the word. Please take psychology today with a grain of salt when used as a resource.

        Ok.

        its malignant forms, it is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against disowned and highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others, breeding misunderstanding and causing interpersonal damage.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection

        Better?


        Also I’m not sure why I should care that psychology today does pay taxes in your country when your country is putting tarrifs on every other country in the world.

    Respect to Kyle. Dude started off in the Atheist channel days of YouTube and didn’t fall down the gamer gate MRA pipeline like most of them did. That was such a right wing cash grab that so many channels grifted towards.

    Then he continued with good left adjacent commentary on most issues and stayed true to his moral compass. Didn’t fall for the right wing narratives that TYT and other similar channels had during post COVID. He stayed consistent and didn’t grift to the right for a bigger audience.

    I disagree with a bit of what he has said over the years. I disagree with him on a lot of “big picture” stuff. But absolute respect to his consistency. I’m pretty sure he’s still entirely user funded still (no sponsors etc).

    It’s refreshing to have watched him on and off for a decade and hes been consistently on the correct side of issues. Its rare to see out of a political commentator.

      Been watching him off and on for a decade now, it is nice to see how consistent he’s stayed, and you’re right he is entirely user funded and takes great pride in it.

    Coming from someone who has never experienced it, nor has anyone in his family history. That is what needs to change in every billionaires life. Make them homeless foa few years and see how they handle it

      Sadly they can’t experience it. Not really.

      I remember awhile ago there was some grifter YouTube channel that was posting “Homeless to $100k” videos.

      Like even in their made up scenario the first thing they do is ask a friend for a place to stay and some cash.

      Like, that’s literally the hardest step and they just act like it’s so simple to the point of not even addressing it.

      Most of the difference between people that end up in the final stage of homelessness and people that got back on their feet is the support systems that are available to them.

      Which is why people that work to end homelessness do a lot of work focusing on keeping people from even getting to that last stage of homelessness in the first place. It’s much easier for our society to provide safetynets long before anyone ends up on the street addicted to drugs.

    In most cases, the word “genius” is a lie. It’s usually a propaganda word for egomaniacal, ketamine-addicted sociopaths.
