True story.
For those interested I recommend Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson. An amazing breakdown of the history and why. Eye opener at the very least.
Edit: Curious: Why the down votes?

Image Transcription:
X/Twitter post by user 🎇 K8 is a Danger to The Republic 🎇 @K84UnitedLeft reading:
"The point of class analysis isn't to say that your landlord is a bad person, it's to say that your landlord has class interests that directly oppose your own.
"They might not treat you like shit, but when push comes to shove they will put their income before your wellbeing."

There sure are a lot of landlords on Lemmy.
A reasonable opinion on twitter? Is this from 10 years ago?
Where are all these single owner landlords? Everything here is owned by management companies and the 'landlord', more propertt manager, is an employee who gets a free rental unit to live in while they have the job.

Can anybody link me to educational resources on class analysis?
Especially those pertaining to the United Kingdom, such as the big northern working class cities like Manchester.

Even the best monarchs do not justify monarchy; it is a position inherently created for abuse. You may have a good king, or two, or ten - even kings who WILL put your wellbeing before their own interests - but invariably they will always be outnumbered by those who seek the position for the sake of abuse, or who succumb to the structure of the position which encourages abuse. Likewise with landlording. The problem isn't with individuals, the problem is with the system.
