It's pathetic watching the government assure their European "partners" that Ireland will join the new arms race. We have more than 17,500 people homeless, a million people on hospital waiting lists, but the government wants to triple arms spending. https://t.co/e17gkGtWN9 #Ireland #ArmsRace #Homelessness #IE #EU

The Politics of Pity For a decade, the West has argued whether empathy should be its highest value. Some praise it as a superpower; others call it harmful. Gad Saad’s “Suicidal Empathy” topped the New York Times list. Elon Musk called empathy a weakness; John C. Reilly called it a superpower. Ideas should be judged by consequences. Compassion-justified policies have coincided with worse addiction and homelessness, rising crime, mass migration, social fragmentation, higher living costs, and controversial medical interventions for gender-dysphoric minors. When these fail, advocates often claim it was not implemented “strongly enough.” ## An Inversion of Truth A quote often attributed to Hannah Arendt claims “the death of human empathy” precedes barbarism, but no source supports it, and her writings argued almost the opposite. Arendt contrasted the American Revolution’s institutions and law with the French revolutionaries’ “politics of pity.” Pity is not compassion: it ranks “fortunate” and “unfortunate,” grants the pitier moral authority, and overrides rights. Arendt argued this enabled Robespierre’s Terror. ## The Trojan Horse Empathy can become projection—imposing your values as if they were others’ needs. Adam Smith warned about the “man of system.” Nietzsche described societies so “soft and tender” they side with those who harm them. Orwell noted equality preaching alongside elite privilege. Rob Henderson calls these “luxury beliefs.” I call it suicidal narcissism: acquiring moral status by appearing compassionate while policies erode the foundations others rely on. The reward is immediate; the damage comes later.

🚨Le lien social, ce déterminant de santé qu'on a oublié de protéger 📒 Tisser le lien social pour une vision renouvelée, intégrée et cohérente en matière de santé mentale, itinérance et dépendance ✍️ Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ). Mémoire déposé au ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec, sous la coordination de Pierre-Gerlier Forest Capsules Audio de Pratiques en Santé 🎙️🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2Hlmju8fI 🔍💡 Lien social & santé publique : un mémoire de l'INSPQ montre que la rupture du lien précède souvent la dégradation de la santé mentale, la dépendance et l'itinérance — et que le point de bascule vers la rue reste modulable par le logement et le revenu. Des repères pour agir en amont. 🧩 Analyse de Pratiques en Santé et lien vers la source ℹ️➕ https://www.pratiquesensante.com/blog/pratiques-15/tisser-le-lien-social-pour-une-vision-renouvelee-integree-et-coherente-en-matiere-de-sante-mentale-itinerance-et-dependance-6107 📌 Ce mémoire outille quiconque intervient à la croisée de la santé mentale, des dépendances et de l'itinérance : il démontre, chiffres à l'appui, que ces trois enjeux partagent des racines communes et que la rupture du lien social en est le fil conducteur. Il fournit des repères pour agir en amont — sur le logement, le revenu, l'isolement — plutôt que de seulement coordonner des services une fois les problèmes installés. Précieux pour bâtir un argumentaire de plaidoyer, cadrer un diagnostic local ou justifier une action de prévention structurelle auprès de décideurs. 🇬🇧: Weaving social ties for a renewed, integrated and coherent vision of mental health, homelessness and addiction - https://www.pratiquesensante.com/en/blog/practices-15/tisser-le-lien-social-pour-une-vision-renouvelee-integree-et-coherente-en-matiere-de-sante-mentale-itinerance-et-dependance-6107 #️⃣ #PratiquesEnSante #LienSocial #SantéMentale #RéductionDesMéfaits #Itinérance #DéterminantsSociaux #LogementDabord #PréventionStructurelle

El artículo Al raso cuando el sol abrasa destaca la dura realidad de las personas sin hogar en Madrid, quienes enfrentan condiciones extremas de calor y precariedad en asentamientos temporales y lugares ocultos de la ciudad, donde la vida transcurre al margen de la sociedad y sus miradas, recordándonos que detrás de cada historia de homelessness hay un trasfondo de circunstancias únicas y complejas. #Pobreza #Madrid #PersonasSinHogar

Nobody should be sleeping rough, full stop! Tens of thousands of vacant homes & billions in exchequer surpluses. Homelessness is a direct result of Government policy. It doesn’t have to be this way. There are solutions. https://t.co/bSbY3COkfs #Homelessness #HousingCrisis #EndHomelessness #Nocountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

There are solutions to the homelessness crisis. The Oireachtas Housing Committee report on homelessness sets out 14 actions that Government must take to reduce & ultimately end long term homelessness. This week I asked the Minister for Housing for his response to the report. https://t.co/iEfVOIbGgz #HomelessnessCrisis #HousingSolutions #EndHomelessness #IE

The Minister for Housing admits failure & tells people to suck it up! How about an emergency response, to prevent homelessness & get people out of emergency accommodation. How about increasing the delivery of social homes for all who need them to cut waiting lists! https://t.co/kw7PKkLbCC #HousingCrisis #SocialHousing #EndHomelessness #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Nový projekt v ČR ukazuje, že lidé bez domova chtějí pracovat a mít stabilní bydlení. Finanční podpora zlepšila jejich životy a snížila užívání drog. Prejudikáty o lenosti a neochotě pracovat se ukazují jako falešné. Je třeba více důvěřovat a podporovat! #Homelessness #SocialChange #očesku

Emergency homeless accommodation now costing €493.6M ‘Runaway’ spending on homelessness services has soared 570% in the last 10 years according to figures according to figures provided to @EOBroin Bad Govt policy means this figure is set to grow https://t.co/fpvz5QPhaE #Homelessness #GovernmentSpending #HousingCrisis #IE

So the Govt have got what they wanted! Renters hit with record rent hikes to line the pockets of investors & developers. The result won’t be increased supply but more financial hardship, displacement, emigration & homelessness!
