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

A lot of big tory brained comedy in that thread. Some choice quotes:

I’d be provided vital housing to those who want to rent. Not everyone wants to own.

The Landlord thinks they’re providing a vital service! ![farquaad-point](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0b72940d-3070-40a3-a37c-3ba5a0abf658.png "emoji farquaad-point")

People rarely remain in one income bracket over a lifetime, they gain experience and move up.

Rather telling of a sheltered life experience.

Well would you run a business at a loss? Would you work for nothing? (Charity aside)

Implying being a Landlord is work.

Life in an rpg - you just gotta grind some xp so you can level up, then you can afford housing

I love how chuds always say "OH YOURE JUST JEALOUS YOU DIDNT GET INTO HOUSING EARLY ENOUGH." Ah yes, if only i'd been born 20 years earlier and wealthier.

landlords are demons from the underworld and calling for their death is based

[–] Torenico@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Going full Doomguy on the landlord demons is the only way to go.

Forcing people to read Adam Smith would be a 1000% improvement over these dumbasses defending landlords.

Even the guy we (incorrectly) hail as the prophet of free markets knew that landlords exploited people when he wrote (very arguably) the first economics text.

[–] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

Landlords are people

incorrect

[–] Cummunism@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

stupid fucks think that the landlords built the houses. odds are, they did not. They provide nothing. So much boot deepthroated on that subreddit.

This is a real fucking person.

line them up against a wall of your choosing, or theirs. and shoot them. all of them.

[–] JuneFall@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That isn't even what Mao did. What you describe goes much further than Maos actions.

technically true

Leaving them all to whinge and cry about having their “essential service” repossessed would be funny anyways

[–] echognomics@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Got banned literally 2 minutes after posting this lmao ![mao-clap](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/1b4813f2-96d9-4c7b-96e8-2bc96e338756.gif "emoji mao-clap")

I want to remark that the house I am living in was constructed within the GDR, so no, land lords didn't play any role in it.

[–] WithoutFurtherDelay@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

people act like being a landlord involves repairing and doing maintenance on every aspect of every house they own and not just sitting around on their ass doing nothing like it actually is for 90% of those fuckers

The other 10% only own their own house

What if we rehumanized them, piece by piece.

Ship-of-Theseus them back into real humans, using reconstituted parts.

KILL ALL LANDLORDS

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Other people don't need it, they want it. And they're not entitled to it - it's not their property

Redditors who support landlords on the concept of shelter.

People aren't entitled to it.
