If I comment about not wanting to only double down on harm prevention, it must mean I just want to lock every homeless person up and throw away the key.
Its a preposterous way to view issues that have miles and miles of nuance between both extremes, and worse, this thinking has taken over more than just internet forums.
I don't much care if its the left or right that comes up with the most sensible policies to better the crisis, I just care that someone does.

Apply this logic to (violent) crime and things get really scary real fast.
On a collective and societal level, I don't think that in 2021 we're psychologically set up at all to deal with things effectively if ever they were to get really bad.
So let's just pray they won't get really bad, OK?
