I like that you call them “houseless” in the video. We all have a home on Earth, but some of us are not housed properly.
I live in slc and what y’all saw was manipulated. They abused the living fuck outta the homeless and once the national spotlight was on us they claimed that what u saw wasn’t the truth. Their truth was they absolutely destroyed every single possession and burning it in the name of “it’s infested with bedbugs” they planted drugs on those who refused the “free apartment” forcing them to either join the project or go to jail and then they took away their children and dogs/ cats/pets telling them that they would only get them back if the participate in the project and then those who did testimonials aka propaganda got to stay in their bug infested, moldy slumlord ‘dream homes’. We were praised and told we were hero’s but the fucking second the spotlight was on someone else everything was again stolen from the homeless and guess what happened??? Crime… rapes, murders, thefts it all started getting worse and worse but the worst part was before the raids happened all that crime was mostly around pioneer park. But now it’s spread out to every neighborhood in every city. Oh yeah I forgot… Utah has the highest suicidal rate in the country and the highest state prescribed antidepressants!!! Fuck Utah!
1 in 3 American adults are having problems covering their expenses. This statistic implies mass suffering but it could also offer a solution to the problem. One in 3 American adults is a lot of suffering people who could demand change.
There's no question that we live in a dysfunctional society but the majority of the people in our ruling class will never admit that the root of those dysfunctions is our economic system. Lee Camp opens this show with a dive into how racism, consumerism, environmental destruction, and misogyny are built on the foundations of our capitalist system.
