If you had real empathy, you would understand how people would be upset that their streets are covered by used needles and feces rather than accuse them of being sociopaths. Anyways, I'm pretty sure GP was being facetious. If using drugs is were optimal choice for a bum, then, it would be a much better outcome for everyone involved if California diverted funding from million dollar per unit "affordable housing" into camps in the dessert that provide free hard drugs and basic necessities, and ship homeless people there, where they're likely to overdoes in a few weeks. That your immediate reaction is that of disgust suggests that the premise that drugs are good for the bottom of society is wrong.
It is telling that you perceive their comment as facetious, but not mine, even though mine was clearly written to mirror theirs in mockery.
In any case, claiming I have no empathy because I disagree with people exhibiting a lack of empathy is...an interesting take.
Claiming that I want to see homeless people suffer from addiction is an absolutely wild take.
Steel manning them while simultaneously straw manning me implies that you are not arguing in good faith, and it makes me doubtful that you are actually interested in finding a workable solution for addiction and homelessness.
