“iron grasp of the social censors”… I don’t know what politically correct society you’re living in buddy, but this sounds like crying about woke shit to me
I’m talking about TikTok and stuff, Reddit and Facebook etc. People post memes with words redacted so it doesn’t get taken down. But lemmy has no such problem.
It’s ironic because the censorship is much more brazen now than previously. It’s ok when the right censor, free speech for me not for thee.
I think the nuance here is that lacking a house doesn’t mean you’re lacking a home. A home is a much more complicated idea that involves family or community for many people, whereas a house is just a thing by contrast.
That said, my understanding is that most people find the terms roughly equivalent, and I’ve never been either, so I might be misunderstand it.
The rate of people living on the streets is not a constant across even all capitalist societies, ‘homeless’ describes a state without implying a cause. ‘Unhoused’ properly implies that people could have shelter, but the society they live in has failed to make houses available to them.
As an aside, is unhoused really a better term for homeless? It sounds like a meme censor thing like unalive.
They are without home, they are homeless. There’s nothing wrong with that surely.
Or have the social censor extended their iron grasp to this too?
