Well for me, it's because I was taught in high school that American society and capatilism is evil. In college that was reinforced. I dont listen to other views, I just yell at people and call them racist if they don't agree with me. I don't believe that everyone should have equal rights really, although that's what I want people to think, I believe that my rights and the rights of people that capatilism has stomped on should be above all others. The homeless encampments are a perfect example of what I was taught happens to people when capatilism decides to fuck them over. And now that there are so many of them, I must fight for their right to exist to rub it in the face of all of the millions of racist Trump voters in LA. I don't actually care about the homeless, obviously the longer we do nothing, the more they destroy themselves, but they are the poster children of why America is evil, and all the nimbys must be reminded of it daily! I'm also oblivious to the fact that politicians are on our side because our stance is more housing, and more housing = more money in their pockets.
