I hate and avoid homeless people. They're often in the library. Therefore... I've had this idea for a business kicking around for awhile, basically a private library with membership fees. It would have all the accomodations you wish a library would have but that it can't have due to being public commons, like free coffee, private reading rooms, locker storage, and of course no vagrants.

This sounds like a good way to discover being a dick isn’t unique to the homeless.

  Did you know Nazis also wiped their butts after taking a dump? True facts. If you enforce laws or wipe your butt - you are a Nazi... Go back to Reddit please.

    No, I'm very specifically talking about the propaganda that was used to send homeless people into death camps. If someone echoes the sentiments it should raise an eyebrow.

    There is a very big difference between liking steak and categorizing large swaths of humanity as inferior. If you say "oh, of course Hitler grouped homeless people as inferior, antisocial beings and rounded them up and killed them, this is a reasonable thing to do and I bet he also liked steak!!", this strikes me as pretty unusual. Yesterday you told me that I had things I needed to work on because I said these things are bad. But I'm guessing you have some hostility in yourself that you haven't addressed. Is there something in others you have trouble accepting? Something about yourself you do not accept, so you have to pin it on something external that makes you uncomfortable? In my own life, I did go through a phase where I started to appreciate I was too harsh on things I didn't understand or had written off as not worth anything in my younger years. That was also the time I got rid of any fear I once had of the homeless. Today I volunteer in food pantries, as an example, and I remember in my mid 20s thinking food pantry participants might be "riffraff" who are somehow out to get me (they were not). My ability to see parallels to Nazism in your words are a result of those experiences.
