Literally none of this says: don’t give people a home. My point is giving them a home is not enough, it won’t solve the problem.

Is this a weird English language thing? Is this a Lemmy or an internet thing? People seem to deliberately put stuff into posts that aren’t said.

It’s even in the text you quoted from me that my opinion is just giving them housing won’t solve the problem.

How the fuck does that say “don’t give them a home”???

I think the missing context is that when you write with majority negative phrasing, people assume your argument is against it.

Consider: “You have to cover apples in sugar and put them in pastry, and then add custard to make me want to consider eating them!”

This sounds like you hate apples, not that you like apple pie.

I thought the situation was more like: “If you got apples you can make an apple pie”. And I was: “No, just apples make a bad pie, you also need the other ingredients”. And then people wrote: “How dare you hating apple pie!”
