People who think they are allies but are actually part of the problem are worse than those who do not pretend. Those who pretend will expect their carve out to be protected.
Why does this feel you're purity testing people on Lemmy? Lol
There is no gray line. People who exploit others via landlording only vary in how much property they own.
There is no nuance. One either does or does not lord over land. Every landlord justifies their participation in their own way.
No one is born a landlord. It's a choice.
No one is born a landlord sympathizer. It's a choice.
Being an ally requires one avoid specific choices. At any time one can sell their property and become an ally.
Those claiming their situation is an exception are the ones arguing for purity.
I bet you have money in your wallet. A true communist would already live without it! See you in the line at the wall i guess May the ones who shoots have good aim
I see. You're confused. We're talking about landlords not communism.
Somehow this confusion is my fault. That's precious.
