okay, i know the libs often accuse us of not having experienced "the real world" and saying we'll grow out of socialism, but how can you possibly not hate landlords? like, genuinely do they still live with their parents? have they never had to deal with a landlord themselves? i've got two of them fucking me right now because i'm trying to move and holy shit its taking so much restraint not to say some tier shit

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Especially in a Canadian instance. Our rental and housing markets are even less affordable than the US lol

This is what I don't get about Canadian online spaces, like subreddits for cities or provinces in Canada.
A ridiculous percentage of posters in all of these spaces are landlords or landlord supporters. I just don't get it. Why is it like this?
I had a good landlord (in an apartment, because apparently that makes a difference) who was on top of his shit, got maintenance done in a timely manner, kept the place looking good, accepted checks for the rent, bare minimum stuff. He sold the place to this slimy piece of shit who immediately started renovations on any unit that became vacant because of rent increases. He had the fucking nerve to complain about my dog barking when construction crews were doing demolition and sawing tiles and shit right across the complex from my unit. That's when I said fuck renting and bought a house.
He was not a good landlord. He was maybe an otherwise cool guy and might have been doing his genuine best to fulfill his obligations (unlike most landlords) but he was still taking money from you for the use of your home. It's unjustifiable parasitism from the outset
the thing is, you could just hire people to do those things. but instead the system allows someone to leech on you and not allow you to build equity for late life so you can retire. and even when you buy a house, the banks are rentseeking in their loans
I thought hating landlords was a universally held belief.
Those landed gentry assbats won't maintain their properties, let alone provide adequate cooling to survive the next heat dome event. Nor will they provide electric vehicle charging until forced to ~~buy~~ by law.
Fuck em.
EDIT: lol, "buy law". Bit of the old Freudian slip n slide there!
They are literally parasites. The owners of this instance are probably landlords or aspire to be landlords so they took this personally.
No but you see, according to the big minds at lemmy ca, if you are a landlord on your "starter home" (that's legit the word they used), you cannot be by definition hoarding up housing and making it more difficult to get. You're metaphysically different from other landlords who own dozens of properties.
wat.
Does this saintly immaculate landlord also rescue disabled puppies?
Liberals love to jack themselves off thinking about a hardworking immigrant who saves for 30 years to buy a house and it out
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
There it is baby
Sorry (🍁)
I find it cringe when Canadians reinforce stupid tropes that Americans made about them
Let's see Canadians say sorry for colonisation without devolving into Hitler
Honestly this is fine. This will just be the equivalent of the "quarantine" period in the sub's history. We still grow on reputation alone.
no joke. what better all time move could any of us pull off than getting one of their little lordlings to make a giant post advertising us as wanting to execute landlords?
probably like >80% of the lurkers are gonna see that and think, and see if we have a newsletter.
wut?
The whole point is to properly redistribute the land.
Honestly, it would be ideal to skip the whole killing part and just properly redistribute the land.
Yeah killing the landlords is step 2, once they start trying to kill us for redistributing the land. Kill landlords in self defense
I certainly hope that the landlords and the bourgeoisie will just say "aw, darn it" and then get real jobs, but that's probably not what will happen.
history shows theyll burn their own shit down and try to cause famines and a genocide of the general populace when the socialists demand they stop hoarding empty houses and unused land to drive up property values and rental prices
- Yet again we see the express lane used for suppressing leftists ("sorry we did this without making a post") while fascists get a long leash and all the process you could dream of
- At least they're coming around; they evidently care more about shit on a pig's balls than landlords
Thanks for only calling for the execution of landlords, I know that took restraint
A spectre is haunting Fediverse -- the spectre of Hexbear.
Im coming around to this whole federation thing. Its like belonging to a city state trying to find reasons for a war with their neighbor state.
Western ideology only functions when there's an entire ocean between your subjects and any dissenting opinions
I did a test. They like the idea of killing landlords, they just don't like y'all I guess. Sorry.
Jsyk I cant see this image from hexbear but I went to your instance to see and idk, the one person in that thread on lemmy.ca saying that killing landlords is good is being downvoted so.
It's not polite to call for the killing of other human beings*, eh?

imagine unironically defending landlords
good fucking lord I hate my fellow Canadians
whole country is full of landlord-loving dipshits, I swear
It's straight up terrible that +90% of Canada's politics is smug enlightened centrist liberals making funny faces and shaking their fists at the increasingly fascist conservatives while the working class and working poor are getting absolutely crushed
I did everything right and they indicted me
I'm doubling the rent because the building's condemned! Let's lynch the landlord, man!
I've never called for the exection of landlords, but I think I might start now.
