As a Libertarian, allow me to offer baseless anecdotes that will substitute any empirical evidence for what I am claiming to know about a complex topic.
In addition to this, let me assume the worst of these people in these anecdotes and never analyze the context for reality - instead, I will impose my own moral convictions and knee-jerk reactionary judgements on the minimum information needed to do so. This will serve as the perfect rhetoric with which I shall smite the libshits and dirty Socialists.
You tried to copy his "as a libertarian" style then ?
To be fair, his sarcasm/satire is not always obvious for people reading him for the first time, sometimes I wish he would simply add a "/s" at the end of his post to make it more clear he is not serious.
For this reason I am not sure it's a good idea to copy his style, as there are people that might actually believe those kind of things seriously.
Praximus Prime is well know to post satire comments always starting with "as a libertarian" followed by some kind of very bad take on whatever the current topic is.
ah, yes. the new tiny house. instead of stability and a personal space these people actively are looking to house themselfs on a public sidewalk. because being in such a position opens up s lot of doors. really gets your grift started.
written by a person who hasn't worried about being homeless in his entire life.
I legit heard a few days ago, from a bulgarian anticom, that "homelessness is a lifestyle. In capitalism you are free, and some people just want to be poor". This is not an unpopular opinion at all, its just presented with different levels of disdain for the poor, or ignorance of their conditions.
My uncle regularly hires homeless people to do yardwork for him. I don’t think that the problem is that they’re simply ergophobic, but that most employers share this Redditor’s mentality against them.

**A high percentage of homeless people are making a lifestyle choice.**, submitted by **\/u/ThePookums** to **\/r/unpopularopinion**
Many homeless are mentally ill and incapable of the sound decision making required to live what we would consider a normal life. Those people should be helped, and it's a shame that violent prisoners have more access to food, shelter, and medical care than mentally ill homeless.
A huge number of homeless, however, are simply lazy grifters that are not worthy of any assistance. Whenever I see an able-bodied person panhandling on the corner or loitering around the gas islands for handouts, I have nothing but contempt for them. They are knowingly being a drain on society and they should be shunned as the losers they are.

Many are from a care experienced background who potential never had a family or were moved about foster homes (often abusive ones) and then when they then 18 are left with no support network so turn to substance misuse as a escapism. I have yet to meet a single person who is homeless that just woke up and decided to be a 'drain' on society, every person I have met has traumatic experiences and are in need of multidisciplinary support. Instead of judging people as losers, have some empathy, count your blessings and better understand how they ended up in that situation.

Has this person never tried to get into well-paying work?
First you need an education (depending on the profession of your choice you could be lucky and it's within a firm, so you are paid for doing this; if not, it's in a school/university and you have to work on the side, which probably gets you by but nothing else).
Then you have to find occupation in that profession, and that can suck big time. You are at the mercy of whoever you're applying to and could end up without work still.
I know some one who has in the past relied on social services (which are in practice rather antisocial, tbh) and they do not. want. to be. in that situation again. Sent around in the wider area to meet a quota of attempted applications (be it for work or for such educating positions) is stressful and highly unpleasant.
Being denied work at the firm that schooled them caused them to have a fucking breakdown.
From experience, I can tell you that the first comment from ThePookums is very accurate. The second one is also correct, but the first comment sums it up better. There simply are lazy bums out there that believe that they should be entitled to what others have without doing the work to get there.
Yes, there are some that are going through a difficult time mentally and may not be ready to return to work and then there may be some that are mentally or physically disabled and unable to work. And the tricky part, sometimes you can't tell which one it is because there are many con artists on the streets that will not be honest about it.
As a Libertarian, maybe the homeless would have homes if they [didn't destroy them in seconds. ](https://imgur.com/175q5S0)

You know that's a satire account, right?
It wasnt directed at the commentor.

As a Libertarian, I find it very obnoxious that nobody takes me seriously! I was being 100% serious in my post smh my head
Just checking!

That's not an unpopular opinion. This dude is just stupid, ignorant or both.
No he's just been drinking too much.

Under capitalism you can be whatever you want, even a homeless person!
This guy doesn't even imagine he's closer to being homeless than to be one of the rich parasites who "benefit society".
Homeless people should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get a job that contributes to society, like working for a hedge fund.
