I mean they're worse in my.non joking answer to your joke. They're the root of most modern badness including homelessness. We have the technology to feed and house everyone and give everyone medicine. Corporations work very hard to criminalize that to force profit. It's as if those feral people are in charge

Not until they're in a position to. I think actually a lot of our scary stories from history are not really monsters but coping mechanisms and training tools that let people prepare for the worst of humanity. That's my coping mechanism for it anyway. I know exactly what I am capable of and it is terrifying. It is also comforting to know at my physical lowest I can still also destroy someone if I need to survive but the price is unpleasant to say the least. If people all knew at all times there would be a lot of people who couldn't cope and would break down causing some very real chaos in society. It's to our benefit that ignorance on this topic exists to a degree. It also does harm but I don't think society would survive as we know it if most people knew. That might not be a bad thing but it could be.

Yeah Marie Antoinette did similar things. I don't understand and did not before I was homeless but I appreciate your reminder that this is a thing. It's just absolutely foreign to me which is why I asked for clarification. It's simpler to just ask sometimes. Also the shelters were much worse than the roofs for sure. I kept a fork from dinner one night and put it to good use because I was tired of hearing the assaults and noticed the placement patterns so decided to maim someone. It gave us a whole week off of that. Incase your brain requires some vindication juice (blood vindication juice is blood)

I did many times when homeless. Dancing releases endorphins. Now that was before I was a homeless adult with a malpractice suit I didn't know I had yet. Misdiagnosis on a spinal injury that took it from treatable to worse than most like it because I kept making myself walk since "nothing is wrong with you".

I left them as a client when they tried to convince me the bottle of "pain meds" was actually that. I have taken my same dose for over ten years. These were yellow and twice the size. So I pulled out the print out because this was pre smart phones and showed them the medicine that was in the bottle and what I found on a medication database I had access to as I was a medical student. They were heart meds that would have killed me at the dosage because it was the maximum and I did not need them. They didn't apologize and tried to get out of refunding my copay and returning the script. I actually had to call the cops. Got my meds at a smaller pharmacy next door that they eventually ran out of business but that was the third time they had messed up that way.
