Just because a person is homeless, doesn't mean they don't have connections to the place they grew up in, you know stuff like family and friends. Just because a person is homeless doesn't mean they are willing to move to a different country, let alone continent.
You thinking homeless people are things that you can just pick up and ship into a different place, is quite concerning.
My reluctance to have them stay in the United States is based on the fact that the government can and will fuck with them for existing.
You immediately assuming my suggestion is dehumanizing is concerning but what else is there to expect when negativity is what runs the internet?
Go ahead and skip to the personal attacks so I can block you already.
In my opinion it would be better to focus your efforts to getting a better government, than to spend millions and millions moving possibly unwilling people to a foreign land and have them take over space that is probably owned by the natives who might have a thing or two to say about this weird new colonization plan you've cooked up. And then hope that they start a self sustaining commune there.
I dunno, just seems like a weird route to take. But seeing how bonkers your government and political system is, I can understand why you would think such a odd plan would have some merit.
I mean, I don't have any problems with not trusting the US government, that's just a sign of being healthy. My concerns were just for the people you would want to fly to a different place and for the people living in that different place.
How many millions do you think it takes to change the government until you run out and how does this scenario address the question we’re supposed to be answering?
EDIT: I like how you shifted the goalposts and suddenly they all have families that love them and that makes them anll unwilling to move to a better location.
In that vein, I’d like to also present some shifted goalposts: They love love love the idea of free housing in a tropical place with no government to harass or kill them and they can live in peace until they choose to move back. Right now they’re drinking fresh coconuts and talking about how all the people that love them are living with them.
Sorry, what question I was supposed to be answering?
Edit: whoops, misread what you wrote lol. Sorry. You can ignore me now :D
This one.
Yeah I edited my comment but too late. I misread what you wrote lol, sorry about that
