At this point, for the needless cruelty to make sense to me, it has to be a sex thing. They have to be getting off on it. It doesn’t make sense otherwise.
I get that under capitalism a underclass of people living truly miserable destitute lives has to exist to scare the working class into accepting worse conditions. As all those worse conditions have to be is just good enough to keep the worker out of the underclass to be attractive.
But creating a system where these people have to exist as a societal tool for discipline and then calling the people forced by the system into this misery as taking a ‘lifestyle choice’ as an excuse to take away what little shelter they have is beyond cruel.
