When I see things like that I kind of assume there’s some addiction or mental health issues going on. It’s not typical behaviour for someone who’s well-socialized and obviously difficult to be around but I’d suspect that persons got much deeper issues and public shaming isn’t helping them.
Trust me, there are people in this world who care for noone but themselves. I think you’ve just been lucky enough to avoid meeting one of these people.
I think they just don’t give any fucks
ReR D France ?
Imagine complaining about getting a free view of some grippers.
The people at !fuck_cars@lemmy.ml need to advocate for these people to be banned before advocating for banning cars.
I actually don’t mind banning cars, I just can’t deal with being locked inside the same vehicle as a psychopath/sociopath.
Unfortunately that falls under a different category. Fuck cars is about advocating for good public transportation and making cities easy to enjoy without a car. You’re asking for better mental health care and services for the homeless. There are very few people that would actively do this type of thing if they had any other well lit up space they could do it.
I agree. I’m not going to advocate for public transportation if I take the risk of running into a weirdo like this, or even worse.
At least in my car, I’m guaranteed to not run into weirdos or gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society.
I like your username

Unfortunately, we are completely surrounded by gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society. Those individuals just happen to be in the government.
This is what I used to see on the way to work, on a good day. Fuck you San Francisco!!!

Have you ever lived in a major city before? In my time in NYC this wasn’t abnormal to see. Not every society has the exact same inhibitions and taboos as others.
This is because of capitalism and fast pace of life. Some use transportation time to do a lot of things they can’t do otherwise like sleeping, cutting nails or applying make up. Some also to work or study.
Edit: she is cutting her nails isn’t she?
This is no different than shaving my body hair on the train. I’m forced to leave my trimmings on the train too because my boss wants me in the office 8:00 on the dot!
It’s true. I’ve seen a lot of these things on public transit and every single time, one look at the person tells you they are not okay, not by a longshot. It’s mildly infuriating that we leave people homeless and in such a condition in the first place. The fact that they shit on the bus is really just a symptom of that underlying wrong.
Yeah… You don’t see this behaviour in countries that treat their people well. I never had issues with public transport in Australia. Australia has significantly better support programs for homeless people and people with low/no income (including unemployment payments and rent assistance). Public transit in Australia also has far more ridership compared to the USA.
In the US especially we also have to ask specifically, how well has America treated black people? The worst offenders I have seen on the morning bus have been black, but IMO they’re only treating the bus about as badly as they have been treated themselves. Which of those is the real outrage? The bus? No.
Yes, black intercity culture is completely innocent and has never harmed themselves. Go to E St Lou. St Lou even. Get over yourself and actually live the shit you wanna preach about from your textbook first
I’m from Oakland, fool, so you can kiss my ass. And you mean “inner city” which is a conservative dog whistle like “ghetto.” At least spell your racist jargon correctly if you’re going to open your mouth in public.
Who the hell said black people never harm each other, anyway? Not me. It doesn’t change the reality of systemic racism. In fact when you put people in harsh circumstances they tend to hurt each other more.
