All of a sudden I can see, more clearly, how "landlord" is a form of controlling the poor, like low wages is, it's not just an imbalance in the current system where they've accidentally made the system entirely too heavy with investors and not rebalanced the system to be fair, that's no accident. It's a system and purposeful tool of oppression. They aren't going to make housing more affordable or do anything about the fact "landlords" (landlords, corporations, Airbnb, owning houses) hold too much power. That's by design. Capitalism creates slavery in insidious ways, until suddenly it's not insidious, but by then it's too late.

You got that from this post?

This and a few other key pieces floating around. History, capitalisms usual trajectory, current happenings. The fact that it's so bad and no politicians are doing anything, but like multiple places in the world. The levels of fascism popping up everywhere. Capitalism is a pyramid scheme where the people at the top want exponential growth, with a finite amount they can take from. The genocides going on, are to increase profits and control world shipping corridors. If they take all of our land, they have the majority of the populous in the world, as a slave work force, we would work just to pay them for the roof over our heads. The rules around renting are getting so extreme, and nothing is being done about regulating this, to protect the renters rights. Without renters, the house they live in falls into rot, and they go out of business overnight. But renters aren't treated like the customer, we're gaslight into believing renters are subservient to landlords and landlords are doing renters a favor (by letting them pay off the landlords property, and or lining their pockets) the trajectory we're currently on, and the pace at which the rules and laws are becoming a tighter noose around the renters neck, tells me it's getting a lot worse, very fast. I don't know, now I'm rambling. I'm tired. I don't even know if I'm making sense right now.

You make enough sense in the points you make.

Responding these things to the post at hand is what makes no sense. It sure looks like either you've got an idea in the chamber waiting for a soapbox at best and shilling at worst. I kind of doubt the shill line, but everything you wrote is stereotypical Lemmy and landlords which is unusually asymmetric commentary for a post about how not to get evicted.

This tastes weird. I don't disagree with you, but I feel like I'm in an advertisement and I don't like it.

I don't think capitalists think much beyond "I need more money and I don't give a shit about anything else". Sure, some are super fucking competent and scary as shit, but most are Zuckerbergs, Musks, and Bezos. Incompetent weirdos that managed to sit their ass on a somewhat stable asset and had others do all the labor for them.

But the system itself is doing thus, more than the individual pieces
