Calling modern homeless reprobates and degenerates "hobos" is disrespectful to actual hobos. Real hobos may not have had stable homes, but they actually worked to support themselves. They moved around from place to place in a constant search for work. When they did have to sleep outdoors because they couldn't afford/find a room at a boarding house, they had the decency to do it away from the eyes of the public. They didn't just crash out on a train station bench or curl up on a tarp laid out on the sidewalk in front of someone's business. Real hobos had a code. They knew not to fuck with the residents of the community they were currently in because it would negatively impact their ability to find work to support themselves, and would poison that community against allowing transient workers to enter in the future.
Modern homeless are nothing like hobos. They're lazy, they're dirty, they have no sense of decency or nobility, they have no respect for the communities they enter or the people around them. Hobos were decent human beings who just happened to be poor and homeless. Modern homeless are parasites on society. I am genuinely not being hyperbolic nor unserious when I say all street homeless should be run out of civilized areas by stormtroopers armed with flamethrowers. Their scrap tents should be burnt to ashes in front of their very eyes. The community should gather together to throw rocks and glass bottles at them on their way out of town. The moment they try to ooze their way back into civilized areas they should be torched on the spot.
The vast majority of what we call homeless these days are not just poor, unfortunate souls down on their luck. They are antisocial misfits who don't want to work, don't want to support themselves, don't respect authority, and don't wish to abide the social contract. They want to live like that and don't want anyone to tell them what to do. They will never improve their lives or become productive members of society. They are degenerate reprobates who have abandoned their status as human beings. If they don't want to live like human beings, then they can go live out in the wild. If they want to reject being civilized people then they should have no claim to the benefits of civilized society. So no medical care, no police protection, no emergency services, and no welfare programs. They can fend for themselves away from civilization, or they can refuse to leave and be lit up by a flamethrower firing squad.
