Some real estate dickhead just rang my mobile (which is not advertised anywhere) saying they were "just in the area" and wanted to do an appraisal on a house we own in .

It's an agency we don't use for any purpose, have never used for any purpose, and have never approached for any reason.

Is there some sort of legal issue with some smarmy sales knob looking up property owner details and cold calling them?

Makes me feel all gross that their grubby mitts are pawing through my deets somewhere in the hope of being able to stick a tongue up my bum and get a taste of some back door cash.

I can think of a few exceptions. But I think owning multiple properties in the same location for more than a specified amount of time should be illegal or heavily taxed.

For example, you buy a home and are still trying to sell an old one. You might own two houses for some time. You might inherit a house and need to sell it.

You might have family in multiple parts of the country or work in multiple parts of the country/world and need a place to live.

A friend’s mom had severe asthma and was told to leave her home state during the winter and live in Florida.

But I have a friend who owns like 3 hours in the same neighborhood just as rental properties. That should be illegal/heavily taxed.

Why’s there a murderous authoritarian dictator here? That’s some real tankie chud shit.

tankie chud shit

The user you're responding to is a long time anarchist who's been active in various indigenous anarchist orgs for at least the last several years and has hosted multiple fund raiders for them through the site. He's not exactly a tankie unless you consider him being rude and praising the number one landlord basher a single time to instantly outweigh all the anarchist praxis he's been doing for years.

Oh please don’t give me that shit.

No anarchist is going to praise Mao or China. They’re an ML kiddie.

We know exactly what you lot do to us given a chance, you’ll turn your guns on us just like you did in Spain.

So I was informed you were talking shit about me and could not see it so I had to make an account to ask you to kindly touch some fucking grass. I do tons of organizing with MLs and Maoists and none of them are going to "turn the guns on me". People like you however I am very worried about calling the cops on us.

Also Mao was an anarchist in college lol.

Like I said, no investigation no right to speak.

I blocked your shitty instances as somehow Hexbear and .ml got back into my feed. Good to see you got off the propaganda platforms. Maybe you can learn something while you’re here.

Also I find the idea of your little chat groups hilarious, I hope you’re still talking and thinking about me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

blocked your racist ass too. And you are the one that replied to me so it's funny you are still thinking about us.
