    Yes. I take pictures of despair to show fellow Americans when they tell me this is the greatest country in the world. Liberals gasp that I would take pictures like this! Well newsflash, the USA is filled with misery, you just want to be shown the beautiful Hollywood propaganda. Fuck that. Take pictures of what hell this place is, what it does to people, how it treats it’s vulnerable.

    I can also post the picture of an elderly woman killed by a speeding driver. I like to pull that out when people tell me we can’t make our streets safer.

      Oh, well hello “fellow American”. Thank you for your dedication to taking pictures to show how you’re “not a lib”, but rather a truly elevated person

      Did you ask that person for consent for a picture? Or is someone experiencing the lowest state of their life journey just free game for public exhibition?

      Did you speak with them, drop them a slice of pizza, a water, or a sandwich? Or just take a picture like they’re a zoo animal to show people to win internet arguments?

        Do you live in a neighborhood with a chronic homeless population? Do you experience the pain and suffering if individuals who are unable to find shelter on a daily basis? Do you know what rotting flesh smells like from an untreated wound because the person is chronically high and passed out under a bridge?

        Don’t fucking judge my photography, judge your government and society for allowing this shit to exist. I see the pain everyday, and having people like you brush it aside and virtue signal that this isn’t a problem is pure evil imo

          Literally yes. I live within a few blocks of a shelter, and know the community decently well, as they’re part of my neighborhood.

          I notice you declined to mention if you got that person a water, or some food, or just took a picture for your internet high horse.

          Fuck off with you accusing me of virtue signaling while you use the unhoused as a fucking photoshoot for agitprop. You’re a misery tourist, and I will judge you for that.

            Why the fuck would I get them a water or something to eat if they’re passed out? Plus it was 6:00 a.m… I’m not a misery tourist. I live in the fucking misery. Show proof that you actually live near a homeless shelter. You fucking liar

              “You should treat the homeless like people, and help them out, not just take pictures like a tourist”

              “Why the fuck would I help them? Plus, the time of day was inconvenient! You must dox yourself to show proof you see the homeless as humans, you fucking liar!”

              Go to bed, pathetic misery tourist.

                    So me trying to show the people of the world that the USA is broken is internet clout? Fucking delusional liberals.

                    Documenting death in war torn countries and famine is a form of journalism.

                    Taking pictures of people in public experiencing and struggling is my damn fucking right and I’ll continue to share it and hurt your little American feelings. Like I said, don’t blame me blame your government for allowing this to happen.

        This is the USA. I don’t need consent to take pictures of people in public.

        If they choose to sleep obviously in public I will happily take pictures, there are more discreet ways to sleep, no?

        I asked them if they were ok, no response, I called 311 and they told me there’s nothing they can do even though I told them idk if he is alive 😀 insanity!

        Zoo animals, if they decide to sleep blatantly in public spaces I will blatantly take pictures of them, ask them if they are ok and if I don’t get a response call 311 (who will tell me there is nothing they can do)

        I think I got all your questions. Like I said I am documenting the SHITHOLE USA, JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T SEE IT DOESN’T MEAN THE SUFFERING DOESN’T EXIST!

          Thank you for the Palantir defense, very cool! You could interact with them like a human, and provide help instead of calling the cops to take them away because they’re sleeping in a place inconvenient when you walk by.

          Note added, misery tourist. The world becomes a better place through action, not whining online while acting like the paparazzi for people in a bad place in life.

            A sandwich won’t help someone who is suffering from a mental health and chronic self abuse. Keep virtue signaling while people continue to suffer in this SHITHOLE country. Let me guess, you also hate the idea of police getting recoded, or pedophiles getting recorded during their meet up? It’s my fucking right, you can cry about it like a little bitch 🖕

              Yes, you taking a picture to whip out for online debates helped that person. Actually helping them through the day with food and water is virtue signaling, taking pictures to show off is not.

              Have you any more wisdom or pictures of the unhoused to dispense, misery tourist?
