    Based! I'm happy this shit show is over. Private property rights are an essential part of a free society and I'm thrilled to see that the Supreme Court upheld these rights.

    Ah yes, the inalienable right to evict. :gui-trans:

      The eviction moratorium wasn't infringing on private property rights, the state was just no longer using its monopoly on violence in order to enforce evictions.

      Hey, StrappingYoungVlad, if you're reading this (Which you probably are you narcissist pig): I hope you live to see the poor rise up against you neolib ghouls and you learn just what's it's like to lose what they have, and then some, bitch.

      They say they support ending the eviction moratorium, yet /r/ChapoTrapHouse continues after death to live in their heads rent-free. How curious. :charlie-kirk:

    property rights are human rights

    It's more important that landlords are able to collect rent than it is for people to have a safe roof over their heads.

    Neoliberals are such fucking scum and they know it

      Sometimes I wish human rights were property rights. Then maybe the bourgeoisie would start respecting them.

    All those cowards in that thread saying "I don't have an opinion on the morality of the moratorium either way, but I agree that it was against the law for the cdc to enact it." There's a deadly pandemic ravaging the country. illegally keeping people in their homes is better than legally kicking them to the streets. Who the fuck do they think they're fooling with that literal child-tier logic?

    "Evictions are always bad, but this was still the right decision" Fuck off. It's insulting to my intelligence that you think I believe you.

      "It was illegal so therefore it was bad/it was legal so therefore it was good" is the liberal version of the Nuremberg defense and about as morally bankrupt.

      Literally half the thread is people openly celebrating and the other half is people that are embarrassed by the people celebrating despite agreeing with them. They have to throw up the fig leaf of centerism to save face, as if they actually care about the people affected by this.

        The number one thing that stopped me going through a rightward slide was that I was in the sort of anti-SJW sphere and realising that a bunch of these people sure loved defending every cop killing that ever happened.

        On some level, I hope these people stop and think "gosh, this group I identify with sure seem strangely gleeful at the idea of making more people homeless" and re-evaluate from there.

      It's great that large swaths of people think that if you're pro evicting people into homelessness you can still save it by saying actually you don't have an opinion on it.

    It sucks so much that there are popular forums like r/neoliberal when Reddit trashed every left-wing one and banned chapotraphouse. There's literally nowhere on reddit to discuss this in the opposite direction other than maybe LateStageCapitalism.

    It's going to be much harder to hear "They make money because they took a risk!" after this. There is no risk, even in the case of natural fucking disaster. Owning a rental property is a literal money printer 100% of the time, and landlords always get paid first.

    We manage approx 300 single family doors. Only one longterm nonpayment. 2 roommates both now in jail for unrelated criminal activity. We were able to officially evict based on lease conditions but they were already out of the house.

    I honestly believe most renters are paying their rent and the ones on the eviction line would have ended up there anyways in the last 18 months. The working hard but just cannot make ends meet during this pandemic renter at this point feels like a leftist mythical martyr.

    imagine being this proud of being a class enemy

      Isn't there actual research showing that a vast majority of USAians can't afford like a 500usd emergency?

        After you've been thrown out of your home and have been made homeless you pay nothing in rent. That's a 100% reduction.
