No good deed goes unpunished.

He drove him to his house and let him take a shower. It's possible there was more to this relationship than a philanthropic big Mac. Which is fine if they're both consenting adults, but puts the assault on a different context.

This is the type of stuff that really shows me there’s no hope for humanity anymore.

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.

Yeah but who wants to have a cohesive society when you live in a dystopian degeneracy

Username checks out

To answer the question though, I'd suggest a relatively small handful of people that have inherited incomprehensible generational wealth have the resources to enable favourable policies keeping them rich at the expense of the most others on this planet, wether by getting into a political position to do so or otherwise influencing the people in those positions.

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

bigotry embedding itself in our institutions

it has always been there and it is still there expect now it is less race but more class focused.

fuck z peasants!
