I believe it’s a thought process along the following: “I hate seeing homeless people living on the streets in my neighborhood. They are smelly and cause crime and take our taxes while doing nothing or causing harm. I worked hard to save a lot of money to own a house in this neighborhood and they are ruining it while living here for free. If I help them, they’ll continue to stay in this area. I don’t want to make them feel welcome in my neighborhood at all so I will not donate my blankets to them.”
We have a high homeless population in my city and homeowners here all have that mindset, even though we are a very liberal city.
I feel like in this case it was… “I wove these blankets for wealthy people impacted by the fires so they can owe me praise & fame. I don’t give a shit about other people other than myself.”
I mean have you never seen a reddit thread where everyone jerks each other off about not giving homeless people money so as to not encourage more homeless people to ask for money? I assume it’s a similar mentality.
