also he's speaking in all positives about himself what are you talking about silly???

Some people have misconceptions of the homeless

A lot of them choose to be that way

i mean in what context bro, thats a big statement

i'm gone peace

have you ever talked to a homeless person before and if so did they say that they chose that lifestyle?

I’ve worked with the homeless

Yea lots of them are fine with the lifestyle

like he found his soul, now he's free you cant coerce him into anything he was about to lose hope and then the sun rose ? bro are we reading the same lyrics why do you think these are melancholy

in what context do you work with them? and are you inferring this or is someone literally saying it to you, cause im sorry but i just don't really believe you

Volunteer work and yea I remember specifically having a conversation with a guy who basically didn’t agree with societal standards… Working a 9-5 at a place you hate just to barely make ends meet until you’re 80 said it sounded like slavery to him, hilarious coming from a white man

As a formerly homeless nigga I loved it

sorry ana, i thought it was weird

in many ways it is chosen over homeless shelters

I was homeless throughout pandemic and interviewed homeless

it saved up money and its the freedom to go wherever and sleep in car

Nah I understand thinking it was weird honestly I met with Vic and Vic really nice helped quite a bit and knows my story. Wouldnt be surprised if it came up

i get that, i don't think shelters are really a good solution. i just think its kind of at odds with him saying he wants to build a commune and saying f*** nfts etc

The current system of shelters they basically treat the homeless like prison with barcodes.

Even trying to get Chicago homeless checked in who did want shelter was a difficult process 2020

There is a freedom to being able to walk wherever or really move wherever at any time. Its a different kind of freedom though with different restrictions. When I am like wherever my car goes thats my capacity

or in his case a backpack

Not held down to rent surging prices, mortage, landlords

the freedom to ask or help friends and nomad like is different

I would say he is out of touch but he does work for the homeless and wants to build shelters

obviously I cant recommend the homeless experience for everyone but s*** did change my life for the better overall bigger picture

Ye is in a way combatting the idea that homeless are seen as lessers

S*** WHEN I WAS HOMELESS AND EVERYONE GOT MAD AT THE FIRST OF THE MONTH I WAS LAUGHING MY ASS OFF cause every cold moment in the car or isolation or not being able to go home I was up a thousand dollars

It was like Survivor for me

and I made it

@ShintaroKago thanks for sharing your perspective bro appreciate it . i guess its more nuanced than i thought

still think ye should be careful with what he says about this s*** though cause his version of homelessness is staying at soho house or whatever

Some do sure but there's a lot that will tell you they chose it because the alternative is embarrassing to them

Not that it should be embarrassing. There's a lot of cruelty in the world

It’s a lot of stories

It’s not just people who down on their luck and just don’t have help

it is 96 percent that though is what im saying

Also I don’t think this bar is actually gonna be on the finish version

Sounds like he was just tryna rhyme something for the placement

spitting facts, people forget homeless people are still people

Yeah that s*** was wild lol

also changed my attachment to wifi, internet and how to view being human. I want to write more about it.

I would be charging my phone random places still shown love

There are some homeless in the same park as Lollapalooza Chicago that I interviewed and asked them many of the questions you have in this thread
