“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 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?
