While this is hilarious, it's also dark in a way. It reveals a mindset I've seen that's very prevalent among conservatives, but also among liberals and even some of the less lefty leftists. There's so many people out there who see people living in abject poverty, on the ass end of society, absolutely downtrodden and broken, non-functional, prone to abuse etc....they see that and they think "it's an affront to me that I have to see this."

Not that it's awful and evidence of a broken society that people can be abandoned and left to rot like that. Not that things need to be reorganized so that no one can fall that far. Just that those people need to be out of their field of vision, suffering somewhere else. And very frequently, they're fine with violence, coercion, and confinement being used to achieve that.
