TRIGGER WARNING: We have people self immolating because of genocides happening and because people are losing housing. This nation is going down and it’s the greed of the capitalists that’s the cause.
I’m basically in that elderly gentleman’s shoes as far as housing goes. I’m sorry to his family and to him for being pushed into this situation.

Elderly man self-immolates while being evicted.
Housing is a human right.

I didn’t say that-- you’re saying that.
What I’m saying is that in addition to the housing crisis, you have a mental health crisis, and it’s irresponsible to ignore or conflate the two.
It’s wild how desperate y’all are to gloss over how much deeper these situations go, because it gets in the way of a headline.
okay sorry. what do you suggest for helping with the mental health crisis then?
A good start is being able to talk about it and have dialogue, without getting defensive. Stigmatization is alive and well, and it’s one reason why people don’t seek resources and help.
