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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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
Repost because @Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com's original post got removed from !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net for dunking outside the dunk tank
There are other meanings for the word material, ha. Material interest means they get stuff that benefits them if they act a certain way. It is in your material interest to own a house so that you can have housing security. It is in a landlord's interest that you rent from them instead, and for as much as you'll pay.
And there's nothing wrong with judging individuals based on what they choose to do with their lives. There are activities and professions (not that landlording is a profession) that are inherently extractive and detrimental and that nobody is forced to do. For example, working as a mercenary.
Okay, don't answer my question.
Factually it's wrong. You're judging them by the associations of what they choose to do with their lives, not the actuality.
Thank you for the insight.
Your question was based on a misunderstanding of what I meant by materialism and therefore irrelevent. I would also assumes it was rhetorical.
Did you, at any point, consider engaging with what I said and addressing it? You're going in a bad faith direction.
What facts are incorrect?
It's not an association it's owning housing and renting it to other people to make a profit. That's an economic and social activity. This is obvious, but you seem to be struggling with being wrong.
I think it's relevant, if you don't want to answer that's your choice.
I've engaged with your comments as I've felt fit, if you feel that's taking things in a bad faith direction those are your feelings not something coming from me.
We should just stop here though because I've already gotten the explanations I was looking for, and my goal wasn't up get into a slap fight.
I DEMAND YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION BASED ON MY MISUNDERSTANDING OF A TERM, TANKIE!
Oh yes... My comments are sooooo demanding.
Okay let me know when you're not scared to have an honest conversation, lib
Likewise! 🙌 If you feel like answering my questions let me know!
I've learnt a lot though! Thank you!
Pathetic
Hey.. don't talk about yourself like that...
