For a lot of people, your landlord doesn't exist. Rather, your landlord isn't some person living down the street from you, they're a massive property conglomerate the owners of who live in a far away city and who you couldn't even find if you wanted to. Who are you gonna go after, the person working the front desk at the local housing office? They're just some random employee.
Modern capitalism atomizes you to a great extent. You don't know your boss' boss, you don't know your coworkers (like for a gig economy job), you don't know your landlord. You have all these economic relationships with people who as far as you are concerned do not exist.
The solution is to put the choppy boi on anyone whose job title is all capitals and starts with C. In minecraft.
You'll still mostly get the money butlers, but it'll be close enough to get the real rich to flinch
Have them March to their bosses desk, kneecap them, then repeat till you meet your landlord.
I'd honestly love to see someone provide some detailed analysis of the how the modern west got to be like this. We're jerked around a LOT and do literally nothing about it. How was society so successfully defanged? I have lots of ideas and can point to lots of individual reasons sure, but I'd love to see a comprehensive analysis, because it has been almost complete and total annihilation of any sort of real resistance.
I don't feel like fleshing this out, but violence (with the exception of state-sanctioned violence or superheroes) is seen as reactionary, wrong, and for dumb people 100% of the time. When do you see an average person using righteous violence in popular media? They have to be smarter or sneakier or funnier or something, but stronger/more violent is seen as wrong. But we love watching historical texts of violence (Game of Thrones, etc).
Pop culture has no problem glorifying righteous violence as long as it is used against "criminals" or "terrorists".
when will we realize that the terrorists are the ones doing righteous violence
Game of thrones is not a historical text.
I couldn't stop myself, it was this or have a stroke
Yeah but how did we get like this. How was society successfully manipulated to be so damn docile
widespread rentiership is a relatively new development, between the New Deal and Reagan it was pretty easy for the average working class American to buy their own home

Why would you buy more property if one or two months of missed rent is going to ruin you?
Sounds like landlords are bad at money management.
Sounds like she needs a better-paying job and to learn better fiscal responsibility :che-smile:
Well they won't ruin her as long as she has the police to evict the tenants with violence if needed (or just because.)
Don't get a second house if you can't pay your own fucking bills.
Why are you cheering Fry? You're not rich
True, but someday I might be rich, and then people like me better watch their step!
Between this and the comrade who's dying in another channel, the last 10 minutes have made me feel colder than the last 9 months of isolation.
