I'll probably regret asking, but how is it dehumanizing? I said that as humans they would be able to find shelter, but an animal would not. Isn't that almost exactly the opposite of dehumanizing?
- giraffe_lady 2y agoYou dismissed the concern about homeless people instead redirecting to your empathy for farm animals. A lot of humans are disabled, or are young children, or have a cognitive impairment, or are otherwise limited in their ability to act on a weather warning. Homeless people aren't an even slice of the population but all of these groups are represented.
- ars 2y agoIt's "dehumanizing" to assume a human is capable of acting like a human? And I think you have a rather low opinion of homeless people.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoYes, defining "human" in terms of capability that not everyone has is dehumanizing. Really is that simple. I spent many years in and out of homelessness and still have deep ties to people out there. I have more respect for them than I do for most people around here frankly.
