And? That's not the point.
That's the point of the original comment and you are bullshitting "how dare you decide what they buy!". They own the money and they decide that they won't spend money to improve a homeless person life if it won't improve it.
The point is to help this person temporarily alleviate a problem they have, whatever that problem may be. If you don't want to do this, fine, but if you're only willing to give money if they use that money in ways that you deem wholesome, that's patronising.
help this person temporarily alleviate a problem they have
And you mean drinking fucking alcohol lmao. Yeah it's gonna made them feel better for a minute, sure, lol. And fuck them up even worse after that. It's like giving drugs to drug addicts, wtf.
in ways that you deem wholesome, that's patronising.
No onre said "wholesome". If so, trying to help honeless people is "patronozing" then generally. Goverment is "partonizing". Organizations that want to help them are "patronizing".
People on lemmy are SO deranged.
The problem is that you are convinced they're going to buy drugs. You do not know that person, it is not your place to decide that.
No, I do not agree that simply offering help is patronising.
