if you buy a house in LA you can expect to pay like 1 million for it at least, and its not like that will even get you anything good. so piker got an okay personal house in an expensive city. cool. whatever. let me know when he becomes a landlord.
Right or like, what else should he do with the money? Invest in exploitative corporations via the stock market? Become a landlord like you said? Maybe there's better stuff he could do like start a co-op with it or something, but there's a lot worse he could do, too.
(Though as a Californian I gotta say even in LA, $2.7m is still getting you a pretty nice house IMO)
This weird Calvinist "You must live maximally pure ascetic lives to be in the elect" is a brainworm US leftists need to drop. Kropotkin was a leftist, Engles was a leftist. Class traitors exist, rich workers exist.
All this guy did was buy a fucking nice house for him and his extended family, and his brother's family.
To some people you never stop being royalty since it's in your divinely annointed blood, therefore even without living in the forbidden palace, Emperor Puyi was still the Emperor of China and a goddamn commie!
Henry Puyi was a weak man whose reign led to hard times. He did whatever anyone told him to do, which is how he ended up as a puppet of the Japanese. He couldn't even get girls either, when it was time for him to have a wife he went to a high school and kidnapped one of them. What a loser.
If socialists won't practice what they preach, then who will? Socialism is as much a moral argument as an economic one; if the opinion leaders won't follow their own advice then it's just going to feed these Fox News chuds with ammunition, and they'll say the whole socialist movement is just a grift like Jimmy Falwell.
Playing by your enemies rules works out great! Just ask your old pal Baked Potato Johnson how his divorce went after he signed a prenup his exwife wrote!
i live in the rural northwest so you could get some pretty beefy houses with 2.7 million in comparison to LA. like i just looked up a house on zillow in LA for 2.9 mill and yeah it looks like a house that would be maybe 600-700k here. maybe less. sure its definitely fancy looking but most prices in LA for housing are multiplied by like 3 or 4 in comparison to normal parts of america
the real question is, why LA? youre a streamer lol, go live in montana like a king
yeah. its just for some reason people have this warped view of socialism, that you need to take vows of poverty and make your own life miserable. like sure, its great to help your fellow dudes out. but its also ok to just make sure you arent fucking anyone else over.
Like, someone's going to live in that house. We have to normalize dense affordable housing a shit tom before "let's demolish Hollywood to build council housing" becomes a politically viable option. I'd rather it be Hasan than another fucking ghoul. Socialism isn't asceticism, the point is entirely that we passed the technology threshold to give everyone plenty without forcing a communal poverty.

Funny enough I have family in Montana in a touristy area, and it's even weirder there than in LA. People literally knocking on their door asking to buy their house. They paid like $200k for their house and they told me they could sell it for 3x-4x that. No way this thing doesn't blow up.
Lots of smart people won't live anywhere but the coasts. As professionals, they would rather eat glass than live in a so called "flyover" state. They have in-demand skills and have zero desire to live in places that are small minded, lack diversity, and lack interesting and rich culture. The coasts are chock full of diverse immigrants and unique people who have no desire to live in a conformist mono-chromatic culture. Top talents don't want to eat breakfast at the Waffle House.

Not super familiar with streaming specifically, but I know a lot of YouTubers and internet personalities more generally all end up down there for content creation/networking. A lot easier than having to fly down there constantly.

The last fucking Emperor of China was a communist.
That should speak volumes to anyone
Not while being an emperor though.

Don't blame our divinely mandated failson for following his destiny of being a piece of shit before being redeemed by the Reds

What part of socialism is against personal home ownership? Cuba has one of the highest rates of home ownership in the world.
Luxury home ownership is the issue here. It's very bad optics. It looks a lot like joining the enemy, or at least giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Serious "Bernie has a Dacha" vibes here.
We're never going to win if we subscribe to the same moral calculus as the enemy. The point is to destroy capitalist morality, not beat them at it.
It's not bad optics we all deserve luxury homes luxury homes are good optics

I'm going to guess that he probably just has friends and such in LA. Azan likes his treats just as much as everyone else, as well.
