    Except complaining will get you absolutely nowhere, because the people you’re complaining to (E: with the power to do anything within the existing system) don’t give a shit at best, and at worst, get their kicks out of sweeping homeless camps and abusing their occupants (or at best, are already on your side, in which case you’re still achieving absolutely nothing by complaining).

    Maybe consider “do some direct action to actually help people” instead.

      Do you have any recommendations?

        Go out in to your own community and figure out what’s needed. I have no idea where you live, how you’re able to help, or what kind of support your community might need.

        Start by looking for a Food Not Bombs or other group helping feed vulnerable people, and go from there, I’m sure that at the very least they’d appreciate a donation and or helping hand, but more importantly, they’ll be able to point you in to several directions where your help could be used.
