So apparently it’s happening all over the world. Housing prices have been intentionally escalated beyond the means of any typical hardworking human. Read the YouTube comments others chiming in from all over the world. It’s happening on every continent in every country.

What’s the conspiracy then? Smells like something something WEF … New World Order

    It’s just how capitalism is tbh. Of course the rich are gonna buy up an incredibly valuable and necessary resource only to sell it back to us in a form we cannot own. Of course rent is gonna be rediculously high but just low enough that it doesn’t kill us. It’s just good business /s

    I don’t think this is really a conspiracy or going towards a “new world order”. Its just the current world order, the logical progression of capitalism into late stage.

    calling it a conspiracy, and NWO, just makes people laugh and ignore the point you’re trying to make.

    I like Hegel for how he wrote that any change can be put into two categories: quantative and qualitative. Sometimes quantative changes accumulate and push the subject through a qualitative change. Why to put it there?

    When you have one flat, house or even renting, you don’t have leverage to get into housing market. But with each additional property (and rent cash) your ability to buy things grows in non-arithmetical progression until you can forget what money are at all. In a current system, it’s harder to achieve the first steps, but at the end of the graph you accelerate like a fucking Toyota Supra. At that point they feel like they can have most of their property sit unoccupied and wait for a better deal. Thus, empty houses and prices.

    There’s some point or a zone of breaking between these two. The one you need to cross to stop worrying and enter the big game. And 10% of these gamers own 90% of things, while also non-intentionally working on refusing that transition to others – it’s just stupud greed in the end, really. That’s by design. Those who built it – I mean not illuminati but oligarchs – influenced policies for centuries to put them in their favor. So we have what we have.

    There won’t be a NWO and it’s not coordinated, but natural. There would be a little reshuffles at each market collapse that would make rich richer and poor poorer. And I don’t think it can be changed unless people got fed up with that BS enough to organize and make rich fear them.
