"Unhoused people" The newspeak is strong with this one. There was never anything wrong with the word homeless. Have progressives gone too far?

"Unhoused people"
The newspeak is strong with this one. There was never anything wrong with the word homeless.
Have progressives gone too far?
- theandrewbailey 4y agoMaybe. Look up George Carlin's soft language skit. It's happening to "homeless" now.
- BulaVinaka 4y agoIt's meant to imply that private persons shouldn't be allowed to own property, and that a central authority should be responsible for "housing" people.
- ajhurliman 4y agoBack in Seattle the lingo was "persons experiencing homelessness". I feel like the more syllables you can get in there, the more PC it gets.
