[–] alvvayson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 52 points 1 year ago* (2 children) Indeed. There is a hierarchy. Commit blocks are better than tents. But proper social housing is better than commie blocks. And proper social housing mixed with middle class owner-occupied housing in the same neighborhoods and even within the same buildings is the best. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 14 points 1 year ago (2 children) Honestly if I wasn't busy at work I'd make a whole list of why commie blocks are bad, including why they hardly make good social housing permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] alvvayson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 year ago For anyone interested, there are multitudes of videos on YouTube showing commie blocks and why they are bad, so don't feel bad for focusing on work.

But if I saw someone saying victims of shootings that got bodyshot are "shitting on it for no reason" and "they only hate that their bullet scar is ugly" I'd call them out too. Just cause something is better than the absolute worst doesn't mean it's immune from all criticism. There's probably a fallacy name for this, but I don't know it off the top of my head.. I shall call it "the starving kid fallacy" for now after the classic example of "there are starving kids in africa so you should eat your vegetables" that parents do.. and it the same way OP is doing by saying "there are homeless people, so you should be content with living in a commie block". It's just guilt tripping people for being dissatisfied with their situation for no particular gain other than a perceived moral high ground permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 1 point 1 year ago Who is saying its immune from criticism? permalink fedilink source parent [–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago Privileged people that have never known suffering should not be allowed to have an opinion on this. permalink fedilink source parent [–] eistari@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago there was a project to move people from favellas to social housing.
