I don't know how bad the situation might be abroad, but in East Europe. any homeless could just saunter over to the knights(yes, the motherfucking Maltese Order, the literal Knights Hospitaller, their buildings proudly flying the livery of the order.) where they would be given a bath, new clothes, food, medication, a dorm room with lockable... lockers to store their shit in, they would help them to get their paperwork in order, get them on Social Security(basically just access to state healthcare instead of gibs), arrange them medical care, dentists, barbers, psychiatrists and medication if they need to and help them get jobs and training, which is practically a 100% success cause Hungary is huge on workfare and the gypsy brigade sweeping streets could always use one more warm body. They would also help them with access to support groups like anonymous alcoholics, set them up bank accounts to save up money and eventually into renting assisted halfway homes. They basically reboot your entire life from 0% no matter how bad you have it if you are willing.
Why the streets are still full with human wrecks wallowing in their own shit and piss? Cause you see, the Knights have one simple rule, you cannot be admitted if you are drunk or high. No really, that is it. The homeless would rather CHOOSE to beg and shit and freeze to death on the streets, just so they could have their highs. And of course, they are "free" to do this, because it would be so heckin unwholesome to round them up like stray dogs and put them in the workhouse like the commies used to do it.
In the end is this freedom that these wretches adore so much. The complete freedom of the deprived, the freedom of the animal with no attachments to anything, nothing to care about, nothing to lose, no material possessions, no human connections, no morality, nothing. The freedom to shit themselves in the middle of a tram and make it everyone else's problem. the freedom to pick a fight with a random cashier, just existing completely in the moment with no relevant past or future.
The asshole retarded virtue signaling fuckers enabling them are ten times worse though. I absolutely fucking
REVILE how every discussion about them ends up in some blowhard moralizing about how poor homeless people

(( just need our help

(( and then they will be so grateful

((((((. The shit covered hobos are ultimately just an accessory to living out their fantasies about just how much of a heckin wholesome Good Person they are, unlike all those evil nazi bigots who say that giving them spare change will not accomplish anything. In a fucked up way, beggars provide a goodpersoning karma service just by their presence. They don't actually want to help anyone or resolve their problems. They just want to think themselves as socially sensitive, Good Persons.
