are people really taking the original video seriously?? i think it’s hilarious. reminds me of jokes about twinks and butch lesbians being mistaken for each other lmao. The guy in the edit looks like a really cool person. More people need to try out long hair IMO!!
It's like this clip (if you're homeless just buy a house). I mean, the girl was clearly joking.
But this guy had to take it seriouly and humiliate her. I mean the song is great, and I'm glad it exists, but people...stop thinking this girl is dumb, it's clearly humour.
Also the guy in the song quotes the "300 000 homeless VETERANS". Like, maybe it's an american thing (I'm european), but why only talk about veterans? Like are normal homeless people are not worth it?

I've had a conversation with someone before where I was discussing the amount of homelessness, and the person I was talking to discounted my numbers by saying "well, yeah, but a lot of those people aren't actually homeless. They're just, like, gay kids who got kicked out by their parents or something".
So yeah, there are definitely people who think that homelessness is a bad thing only if certain people are homeless.

I think America's view/treatment of veterans is deeply strange but in the context, I think it works to highlight the issue. It's not that homeless regular people aren't worth it, it's more pointing out that the country can't even be bothered looking after the people that were actually willing to make ultimate sacrifices for the country.
This isn't to say regular people aren't doing things for their country, it's just easier/more obvious with veterans. They potentially risked death or disability and you can't even house them. (Or provide the mental health support that gets them back on track to wanting housing)
What's the joke? At best she's pretending to be out of touch and stupid but there's no punchline? No pun, no visual gag, nothing to indicate that its a joke of any kind
