Eviction moratorium got struck down and you can always count on :reddit-logo: to take the right side on such matters.
Listen kiddo, violence isn't the answer. What we need is to negotiate with the landlord, figure out how we can all get along. Pay your landlord and maybe one day they'll play a game of hoops with you and you'll have a chance to shear enough sheep to earn your own home.
It's the American dream
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
The most basic sympathy would be not extracting 40% or more of someone's wages from a different job to guard and maintain your property. Without that sympathy, with that deliberate cruelty they enforce at gunpoint through the sheriffs if not paid on time, they can be the petty kings of ashes. If they force homelessness into the world as a coercive threat to the people they steal from, they should be the homeless ones and any action against any landlord is just.
Oh no, poor people took advantage of a system that is supposed to take advantage of them.

Here's a twist for you. I am a landlord in florida, my tenants are all antimask/antivax and hard-core trump supporters.
Do you or most of reddit have sympathy for those people?
Also, all my properties are paid off and my full time job pays more than enough to cover them being empty indefinitely.
I mean, they're lying almost certainly, maybe even about being a landlord, but imagine writing this and not being struck dead by the realisation that you're a parasite
It’s almost funny.
Like, Buddy, this isn’t some complicated philosophical question.
Everyone deserves housing, no one deserves rent.
Also Marry property, fuck Reddit, kill landlords.
It is funny, it has all those layers. As if a landlord who mass evicts isn't worse for the pandemic situation than a whole tenement of semi-vaccinated antimaskers. That little "Thought experiment: What if all my renters are evil?" thing with that little flourish of "Don't we love trolling the Trumplets, fellow redditors?" The weird brag that the houses are paid off (i.e. either inherited or bought with dark money, or just 1 cellar room probably) and that they don't even need the rent, they just like exploiting people apparently. And the whole cadence being exactly that of the biggest yet worst liar in highschool. And all of r/pol upvoting that garbage being just two posts above.
It's funny, to me. :jokerfication:
Those comments are dogshit. Their go-to mode for defending landlords is to be dismissive, condescending, and bad at reading comprehension.
Who would want the sympathy of class cucks and Mammon-worshiping parasites?
These pizza-faced dweebs think very highly of themselves
I mean you have to realize that our takes on evictions are massively unpopular with most people. As true leftists we are an impossibly small minority. Like what did you expect as a response?
I’m aware of what the average redditor might think. In fact, sometimes I go into threads exactly like this to remind myself of that fact. That doesn’t make the blatant indifference and cruelty to one of the largest upsurges in homelessness in recent history any less blood-boiling.
Unpopular with most people on reddit, yeah, but I wouldn't think they're that unpopular with people broadly, since there are more renters than landlords.
