obviously the belief that states shouldn't feed people is both callous and against a wealth of evidence, but i think the real victory for a conservative worldview here is the total acceptance that it wasnt the state, this state, that put people in food poverty in the first place

deregulation, privatisation, cronyism, austerity - these are all state initiated actions that have made people poor - significantly poorer than they were 10 years ago. those weren't natural disasters, the government did this to people

and if you still believe you can afford to eat because you are Good and not because you were Lucky, then i have a bridge to sell you
