Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Yeah, so is eating out of a dumpster. Jesus Christ. Have you ever even talked to a homeless person?
They're talking about establishing mutual aid networks, not relying on existing ones.
Soup kitchens are not mutual aid networks and now they're saying eat out of dumpsters.
My guy, food not bombs explicitly is a mutal aid network and they're specifically discrediting your attempt to discredit them because they have eaten out of dumpsters. But sure, it's everybody else that's wildly out of touch in this conversation.
I am discrediting them because they don't give a shit about child abuse. And you're defending them. Not a good look.
Also, this same person you are defending says the real problem here is accusing imaginary people of being spies.
You're discrediting them for something you hadn't even brought up yet? Those goalposts are on wheels as long as they hold up your self righteous justification to be snarky on the Internet huh?
I brought it up and they ignored it. Did you even bother reading the discussion?
Their idea about letting people's kids be homeless and starve until they're taken away from their parents and put in foster care for the sake of a general strike is fucking disgusting. And you're defending them.
I spent years eating dumpstered food when I lived in the US. You're proving my point.
Have you ever even volunteered with Food Not Bombs?
Did you feed your kids out of dumpsters? And if so, were any of them autistic kids who would only be willing to eat things they approve of and starve otherwise? I hope not.
But I'm guessing your suggestion is either force-feed them or let them starve.
Also, do you know one of the reasons they take your kids away from you and put them in abusive foster care? Because you're homeless.
Basically your whole idea is advocating child abuse.
Amazing how many people here think you should put the welfare of others over your own children.
Its clear you've never dumpster dived before. Its usually wrapped in food grade containers. Completely sanitary. And good stuff, like super fancy expensive pastries.
And food not bombs works with restaurants and groceries to get the food before they even put it in a dumpster, just before its thrown out.
Seriously, please find your local chapter of Food Not Bombs and volunteer. You would learn a lot. Feeding people is not an issue in the US.
It's also clear that you're making things up, sparky.
My entire post was about child abuse and you just ignored it.
So I guess we know how you feel about children suffering.
