US homeless veteran rates. They volunteered therefore they can choose to recover. Or not.

Had a father in law who would yell at homeless Americans to “get a jerrb“, despite doing a few tours of Vietnam himself and knowing his own generation’s problems re-assimilating. Tie-dyed Republican, alcoholic and CEO.

But to complicate matters further, you can inherit, from indirect sources, invisible lens through which you process direct experience. That would be the manner in which indirect information folds over upon direct information.

I ask a third time - WHAT IF YOU WAS NONCED,

AS A KID?
I would imagine you would feel entirely subjected to the big other, as if any sufficiently authoritative figure could reach into you and eviscerate you without you being able to put up a fight. I would imagine quite the array of horrible complexes can spread from this, if we consider a complex as an arrangement of said invisible lens through which your experience is precognitively filtered.

edit: not sure if "big other" is the best term here. Not sure if I understand that concept properly.

An interesting move of gus's is that when pressed he will always say something perfectly reasonable and measured but the second the heat is off he starts asking questions about the rate of black crime
I know people are at least half-kidding but framing my comments this way is scary for me. There's an asymmetry of caricaturing and/or misinterpretation. If you take the progressive stance, the worst I can misinterpret you as is an overzealous promoter of good, selfless values. If you challenge the progressive stance, you can be read as racist, misogynistic.

Bullying is a cybernetic feedback loop, there's no untangling the material conditions of the bullied party from their narrativization of the bullying per se, in a Heideggerian fashion the mode of

Quite the tag team of psychic pressures being exerted on this ideological space. Cross currents. Several fronts active at once. Keep the momentum, but not at the cost of a materially grounded progressivism.
