    Why is this stuff being blamed on liberals and not conservatives all of a sudden? I feel like Trump and the right really succeeded in making you all hate each other while they run off with the country.

    In my country at least the conservatives pull this shit, and if anything the liberals go to the other extreme too much, which is “just let homeless people make shanty towns in parks and subways it’s their right” both are stupid but one is very clearly worse in a mora sense

      Conservatives wouldn’t build the bench.

      Free public spaces don’t encourage people to go in to a shop hard enough. You wanna sit down? Starbucks has chairs. Want a sip of water, go buy a bottle.

      Because it is popular to shit on liberals like everyone of them is a neo liberal. The truth is it is the conservatives that have been destroying public spaces like this. Although you could argue that the libs have not done much to stop them.

      I live in a small tourist town and the conservative business owners have lobbied to take out all the benches in town because of a few homeless people. Now our elders have no place to sit. They even did it to our little mall.

      So because homeless people we no longer have anywhere to sit in public and even private spaces. It is beyond stupid.

      In leftist spaces, the word liberal often has a different connotation more focused on economic liberalism.

      They don’t usually feel the need to clarify, and everyone gets mad. It must be incredibly fun to be an asshole these days.
