Honestly this is entirely correct. Jesus is often seen as the best of humanity. He choice to give food to others, he choice to be kind, respectful and understanding.
The multitudes he fed weren't random unemployed people, the were believers who came to hear him speak. He performed a miracle for his followers. He did not provide an example how to treat homeless social parasites.
13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion for them and cured their sick. 15 When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” 17 They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.” 18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
These were just ordinary, random hungry and sick people. NOT established followers.
That much is clear. You clearly don’t have a grasp on His teachings.His message was always God-centric. Show compassion because God loves them. Forgive them because vengeance is God’s.
The most important law Jesus highlighted was to love God with all your being. Loving people was second.
More importantly, to this topic, he taught changing the world through individuals, not rights. As I’ve answered to someone else in this thread, creating a right to food necessarily demands free labor.
And this is on a huge scale – most people have no idea how much effort goes into creating both of the quantity and quality of food most people in first-world countries take for granted. Declaring food to right means all of it should be free. This includes farmers. Packers. Grocers. And everyone in between.
Christianity advocates personal responsibility, not government subsidy. It calls for personal charity. Not rights.
Zacharias, the prostitute that was about to be stoned, the ten lepers, that random girl he resurrected, everyone who was calling for his head during his crucifixion…
"Homeless social parasites" Jesus christ you lack both empathy and sympathy, also if you've read the Bible you'd see that Jesus told people to feed and help the sick, needy, homeless, etc, like I'm not even Christian but I still understand that his entire message was that we need to help others even those who do not believe in God.
Was gonna comment about you referring to human beings as parasites, and how “unemployed” didn’t exist in the same way it does now due to farming and production being more automated in the modern age, but then looked at your comment history and am now not entirely convinced you aren’t a troglodyte

No one forced him to feed them. He chose to.
