I've seen threads on this very site where HN users proudly described laughing at people out in the street. These were not greyed out comments, either. Elon Musk recently claimed that homelessness was a "lie" and that unhoused people were actually "violent drug zombies with dead eyes": https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/elon-musk-homeless-trump-vivek-ramaswamy-b2663740.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic... You don't have to dig very far to see the hate. At the root is a deep, inhumane entitlement to keep "undesirables" out of sight and mind, plus a conviction that anyone in that situation did something bad to deserve it.
