    It’s only us vs the billionaires! Don’t let them try to pit us against each other!

    Anyone who owns more than two houses deserves to die!

    Anyone who works X job is a bastard, no matter how much good they do.

    No, I will not run for local elections.

    No, I will not give up Xitter I need it to follow my niche artists despite them having accounts on multiple other platforms including BlueSky.

    No I will not give up Facebook. I need it to poke meemaw and check the marketplace for things I’ll never buy or sell because Craigslist amirite?

    At least all you twats use ETA less than they do on reddit. That bugs me way more than it should.







  • I’m pretty sure quoting “can a nigga borrow a french fry”, “Now how is a nigga gonna borrow a fry” in almost any format that isn’t your workplace is fine. Same thing with singing songs.

    Just don’t be fucking scummy when using words as slurs. That’s all people gotta do. But people keep using it as a slur, so it’s just easier to not say it. Yes, it would be nice if it was magically yeeted out of the cultural lexicon. Words only have the power we give to them.

    I’m personally not a fan of saying N-word, N****, or anything like that anyway. You’re literally just making other people say ‘nigga’ in their head but absolving yourself of the guilt of saying it through silly pc terms.

    E: Short of being a newscaster and quoting a hate crime, it’s about the only time ‘N-word’ should be used now anyway lol. Just use any other number of words to talk to your friends or enemies in a loving or hating manner. Taking words back is fine and all so they have less power over people. But when you take it back, but still make it have power, then it’s kinda fucking pointless since you’re perpetuating it’s stereotypical use still lol.





  • The vast majority of ‘good’ landlords are people who were sketchy about investing in stock markets. As they rightfully should be because it requires infinite growth to keep people retiring without serious wage redistribution. But let’s kick that football down the road more.

    Most of them are old and elderly. There’s no way the government forces private land owners to sell off anytime soon though. Let alone the difference in taxing/sales of land ownership vs home ownership. A hard cap on total homes owned would be nice though. People really out to diversify their savings and equity is a huge one.

    There’s so much good that could be done that starts failing when defacto mini government coops start up though. You’ll have a hard time finding the difference between Coop and government owned housing but you’ll see people lambast government ownership like we’ve already seen in this thread lol.
