      People assume landlords are evil, but ignore all the tenants that squat in homes and other forms of fuckery.

      mao-wtf

      Landlords don’t just steal supply of housing, many of them already have a large supply of housing. What are they supposed to do, give it all away for free?.. I’m not pro-landlord, I hate mine, but you have a childishly simplified view of the world.

        Because God forbid capital be put to work instead of resting idle.

          You will run in circles with people like this:

          who would own the houses if landlords went away :smug:

          Anyone else? The people renting them? What??

          lol how would the people renting them own them idiot. Who’s going to give them loans?? :smug:

          The… Banks?

          lol why would the banks give them loans they can’t even afford a house that’s why they rent!?

          Dude this is your hypothetical situation… Why wouldn’t they give them loans?? All the landlords are fucking gone for some reason!!

          stupid tanky doesn’t answer the question. Typical. No need to be angry, I’m done here.

        the opposite is true, you historical-object-permanence-unhaving-motherfucker. This is why they need to be TAKEN not asked to give, just as the public land was TAKEN through enclosures and genocidal expulsions and expropriations as violent primitive accumulation of capital. ie. STOLE IT. Someone hit this person upside the head with Capital until they know anything or can’t type this shit anymore. Whichever comes first.

        people like that last stupid fuck always want to talk about how anyone questioning the status quo has a “childish view of the world” as if it took their massive adult brain and all its power to look at the state of things and go “its not great but its the best we can do. i heard so on my preferred news channel”

        the same sort of deluded cope as “conservatism is the new punk rock”

        both of which basically boil down to the dumb white guy version of “people dont think it be like it is, but it do”

        brilliant. if we were all just a lot smarter we would understand that while landlords are bad, actually, theyre good.
