"Drug addict" means weak and immoral anywhere sane in the world, mate. Tell me, do you truly believe that lack willpower isn't real? That addiction isn't its most obvious manifestation? Or that people shouldn't be judged for what is arguably the root of almost all failings?

Why would these parasites deserve anything else than a basic (read: not unconditional gibs) chance to get out of this mess while some decent people struggle to live while still playing by the rules? You'd give "free permanent housing" to junkies while ignoring normal people living from hand to mouth? Because yes, resources are limited and should go to those deserving and actually capable of giving back to the system. Successful socialism isn't the same as charity.

Even worse, these basic chances make sense in the US, but in western Europe where socialism is in its "train without brakes" phase, no. If you managed to fail in this context, you're the failure, not the system.

You’re not exactly demonstrating your moral strength by calling them parasites
