my wife and I are looking for an apartment and were just turned down because we have a one year old. Fuck kids, I guess. (not in the US - apparently discrimination is legal here).

    It is!

    I swear, landlordism will be hard to get rid of when a democratic or even socialist revolution of some sort happens in America. I don't even think the abolishment or replacement of "America" will be the hardest part; people these days aren't all that patriotic (only spontaneously so but not really ideologically, which is better for our purposes because it's easier to then tell them why it's wrong), but there is very much confusion on the landlord question outside ML circles, I think.

    Oh yeah, and landlordism is becoming more powerful after the Covid-19 pandemic (which is technically still ongoing).
