Employing a bizarre reverse aversion therapy-let's call it saturation therapy-corporate news outlets, the government, Madison Avenue, revisionist historians, television, and Hollywood work in concert to proliferate the spiritual cancers of narcissism, avarice, hubris, materialism, self-absorption, pornography, gluttony, pathological nationalism, obsession with external beauty, and xenophobia.
It is not a leap of logic to conclude that perceived superiority over the rest of humanity, deeply rooted denial, an inculcated devotion to rapacious capitalism, and the spiritual ills resulting from "saturation therapy" combine to form a strong impetus for sociopathic behavior.
Bludgeoning a defenseless human being to death is one such behavior that immediately leaps to mind...
Genocide?
The United States has the financial resources to end homelessness tomorrow through the intelligent use of public money. Instead its decision-makers elect to line the pockets of corporate cronies and war profiteers by pouring $600 billion per year into entities and programs which exist to kill human beings.
By deliberately lavishing obscene sums of public money on the murderous military industrial complex while seriously neglecting programs to attack the root causes of poverty, the ruling elite of the United States are waging an agonizing form of economic genocide against homeless people.
Preserving the delusion
In a society that worships money, material success, youth, and beauty, homeless human beings are anathema on several levels. Ultimately, to preserve the delusion of the American Dream, those caught in the American Nightmare must be eliminated in some fashion.
The number of US homeless people relative to the number of the homeless in other developed countries exposes the brutality of the United States' "survival of the fittest" socioeconomic system.
Don't think about them. You could become one of them.
The very existence of these indigent vagabonds reminds US Americans how fleeting and unattainable the American Dream truly is.
Don't look at them. You could become one of them.
3.5 million deeply impoverished human beings forage in garbage dumpsters while heirs like the Waltons and the Mars hoard fortunes large enough to sustain hundreds of thousands of people.
Don't touch them. You could become one of them.
Homeless people are the antithesis of the American ideal. They are often impoverished, unemployed (or under-employed), unattractive, dirty, beaten down, and addicted to drugs or alcohol.
