In your humble opinion, are the majority of the homeless people responsible for the situation they are in? IOW: do they deserve to be homeless, because it is their personal failure or do they not, because they are a victim of the circumstances (the reasons they are where they are are largely out of their control)? Have you ever talked to homeless people? Are they really just “bad people” and “will never change” or are they hardworking individuals who’ve just had a punch by life that they were unable to stand after?
Hey: be nice.
Bro, how if they are not being nice to me first?

It’s not an easy thing to learn how to deal with, but it’s always good to try to deescalate situations when possible.
There are different ways to handle it, humor is one method. So, if someone accuses you of being a bot, you can reply with something like, “Hello, fellow human, I am most certainly a human replying in the most humane way possible”.
Additionally, attack the argument, not the person. If someone claims something that you didn’t say, focus on that. Try to leave out any insults since that will just escelate the situation.
If all else fails, just block and report. Some instances here are known for dogpiling when someone’s opinions are seen as a threat to their own beliefs.
