Just like JD Vance and his techbros have said.
Oh and charlie kirk. Lovable, sweet, truly good guy, charlie kirk. Had this to say:
There's a lot of reasons to dislike Charlie Kirk, but that quote is kinda reasonable?
We should take better care of people with severe mental illnesses. Sometimes that means they should be compelled into treatment. It's not a good thing that someone struggling with severe mental illness is just left out on the street, and many will not seek help due to those self-same illnesses. A person with schizophrenia is extremely likely to flee from help due to the intense paranoia.
It is the humane thing to do to get them off the streets and into a place where they can be taken care of. And while asylums have a pretty grotesque history, it's one of the worst legacies of the Reagan administration that they were done away with. Massive reform was needed, and a better structure for making sure people weren't just locked away indefinitely. More oversight and regulation, no question. But the solution we went with of just turning them all out on the street to live in tents is a huge injustice to them.
Its not reasonable by any stretch. It is coming from a place of intense selfishness: "These pointless creatures are in my way." vs "Lets lift these fellow humans who have fallen by the wayside."
I mean, where something is coming from isn't necessarily tied to its reasonableness.
If I was a huge advocate for government funding for health initiatives, that's still reasonable, even if it's driven from a place of hating fat people.
It might make me a bad person if I believed that, but it doesn't mean I'm pushing for bad policy.
