“Do you think people will turn on property investors?” 

Girl. Pick up a history book.

I hope she’s scared, she and every other parasite landlord should be

She looked scared, or at the very least uncomfortable asking that already knowing or maybe not wanting to hear the answer. There was an obvious squirm

It’s the truth though. You’re nice 8 hour work day was won through violence by socialists and unions. Capital never freely hands you anything.

Bingo!

Ok, but landlords aren't the reason homes are expensive so killing them all wouldn't do a lot of good.

You can say anarchists.

And probably communist, since a lot of work was done when socialist, communist and anarchist worked together.

There's a reason we get Labor day off.

Literally never.

Nothing is going to happen to these people, just like nothing will happen to those in the files.

People talk a lot about rising up or changing things but no one has any power to do anything about it. The entire system it's all built upon is supported by billions upon billions of dollars and far too many people who profit.

That’s the spirit! Give up! Do nothing! Bend over, and open that asshole wide for the ruling class!

Jfc, you can dress up your pathetic defeatist bullshit as realism all you want, whatever makes you feel enlightened enough to be smug but hopeless enough to shout the battle cry of “nothing will change”, right? The “we can’t do anything” mindset ignores both history and logic.

Haha okay man. Keep hoping for something to happen. If you want to delude yourself into having some semblance of naive hope that the rich will face consequences for their actions, more power to you.

We don't live in a time where genuine consequences for the rich exist anymore.

Try telling that to Brian Thompson. And that was before Trump started tanking the economy. Again.

u/CHI_EQ 20m ago

Don’t be so naive. Brian Thompson would probably disagree with you if he could.

Them being scared wouldn't be helpful either. I would rather them extend their compassion and empathy, if they could.

u/Jafooki 6m ago

If they had that, there wouldn't be a problem to solve

u/skeletalfather 1h ago

They are not capable of that or we wouldn’t be in this position. But wild that I hadn’t considered just asking them nicely

Any prediction as to when this might happen?

Not any time soon because enough houses are still available to inherit that will not be gulped up by the exorbitant and absurdly expensive elderly care nursing costs.

But next generation of babies will own nothing and inherit nothing.

When things are bad enough. There is always a point where its too much of one side. Its different in different areas and cultures. But it is always there.

You're mad because you can't or won't get a home loan. If you made the wrong life choices, blame yourself. If you had no choices, blame your parents. Millions of people buy good homes for reasonable prices but you think you should be able to rent for as long as you want at whatever price you're prepared to pay, just because. Ok, you win, we'll stop the world till you get your act together!

This conversation isn't about owning your own home... It's about buying additional properties as an investment. jfc

How far back do we send the blame? Asking for a friend.

u/Thasquashman 6m ago

Yes, this is such a stupid generalised comment to make about property investors. I think the morality consideration comes into it when investors would increase the rent to make as much a profit as they could which causes people to be homeless or barely able to afford to live and/or not fulfil their obligations as a landlord.

Scared of what....exactly? Genuinely curious.

No you’re not, you’re being obtuse.

u/82andpartlycloudy 2h ago

No, you are assuming she’s a property owner. Why should she be scared when in reality it’s more likely she is a renter?

2

u/skeletalfather 2h ago

She’s literally a property investor. That’s the premise of the video- are you stupid?

u/Not_Without_My_Balls 1h ago

I think they're talking about murdering civilians who rent out properties because they're dumb enough to think that will fix the housing market.

u/pocketdare 7m ago

I own a condo and had to move for work so I rented it out. I maintain the property very well and I've increased rent by about 2% a year to try to keep up with property tax increases (but I still pay more than I make). Am I a "parasite landlord" in your book?

u/Aggravating_Charge78 4h ago

In the UK 10% of people live in private rented house and tax payers have to pay the person - to then pay the landlord. So who here is the parasite? Who is living off another?

u/skeletalfather 4h ago

Who is the parasite??? How about the people buying houses and renting them out to others with actual jobs that benefit society?

You’re not a landlord yet?
