Americans have more to fear from landlord parasites, than mythical reds under the beds

Wow, that is the most despicable thing anyone can think. Imagine working your whole life, sacrificing vacations, luxuries, and time to scrape together enough of a nest egg to retire. Because you came from poverty you don't have the knowledge or skills or youth to start a business venture with any chance of success. The only investment available to you is either the corrupt and manipulated stock market or real estate. You buy the only fixer upper you can afford and put your blood and sweat into fixing it up. Into your old age you keep working to fix every little issue that comes up with it while your tenants, who decided long ago that they would never be such fools as to work as hard as you to maintain a property, carelessly destroy everything because they aren't the ones who have to fix it.

Then one day the commie scum convince your lazy tenants that not only are they poor because of you, but that you are evil for having the audacity to charge rent for the house you bought with a lifetime of work, fixed up with back breaking labor, and maintain with all your free time. And just like in Bolshevik Russia, they murder you. Having never done a decent thing in their lives they feel they are better than you. That they deserve everything you worked your life to achieve. That somehow their worthless, lazy, good for nothing existence is just as worthy of your wealth as yours.

Read up on history to see just how absolutely vile the "mythical" reds really are.

Buyer beware.

Just because it took a lot of effort to become a parasite, doesn’t mean landlording is suddenly morally permissible.

Parasites who want to take someone's property for free believe that charging money for usage of the said property is morally impermissible.

Your property is only your property, because the government says that it is your property.

Land isn’t created by humans, and so no human has a moral claim to it. Only a legal claim.

[–]flugegeheimen 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

You don't have to create something to have a moral claim to it.

[–]Breadman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Depends on whether your moral system appreciates parasitic behaviour or not, I suppose

The ultimate irony is that people like you will call landloarding parasitism but welfare is somehow not. Shoe on head retarded.

[–]just_lesbian_things 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Isn't welfare theoretically supposed to be temporary?

[–]Canbot 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Ok, let's start by making it actually temporary.

[–]Breadman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

Welfare is parasitism, and so is landlording.

& given that welfare recipients typically spend 70%+ of their welfare checks on rent, that makes landlords the bigger parasites

[–]Canbot 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

Voluntary associations and agreements are by definition not parasitism. Welfare is NOT voluntary to the person who is paying for it. That is why it is parasitism. No one is forcing anyone to pay rent. Go live in a tent, or an RV.

[–]Breadman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Housing is an essential good, so it’s not voluntary. To live in a tent or in an RV, you still need to live at the good graces of a landlord of some description

Demanding something merely on the basis of law, rather than mutual exchange is parasitic. Landlords do not create land

There is a world of difference between a homeowner and the state. If you are lumping both together you are doing it to make some kind of bullshit claim. You don't pay rent to anyone when you live in a tent on public land. It just isn't true that there is no where for you to live rent free. That is the implied claim you are making to justify your animosity towards landlords. It is an untrue claim that you have been brainwashed with.

[–]Breadman 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Homeownership is a function of the state. Who do you think enforces and writes property laws? Santa?

    ? And if one can’t afford to buy a property?

    Duh?

      "The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for the natural produce of the earth." - (Adam Smith, op. cit., Vol. I, p. 44.)

        [–]Breadman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

        You can’t say that about goods that are created through hard work, or skill.

        That’s the point Adam Smith was making when he said ‘reap what they have never sowed’

          Still doesn’t address the point about moral claims to goods that are created rather than merely possessed

            I think landlorld means literally the owner of land in this quote, unless you believe that all properties people rent are created by Nature.

            And it is, full quote:

            As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce. The wood of the forest, the grass of the field, and all the natural fruits of the earth, which, when land was in common, cost the labourer only the trouble of gathering them, come, even to him, to have an additional price fixed upon them. He must then pay for the licence to gather them; and must give up to the landlord a portion of what his labour either collects or produces. This portion, or, what comes to the same thing, the price of this portion, constitutes the rent of land, and in the price of the greater part of commodities makes a third component part.

            [–]Breadman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

            Correct, and?

            [–]flugegeheimen 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

            And it doesn't apply to landlords who rent out houses or apartments, for example.

            [–]Breadman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

            Adam Smith wasn’t referring only to literal fruits of the earth

            You cold claim it with your out of context quote, sorry for breaking your shilling routine. Next time try with something less googlable.

            They are not mythical, and they are all over TV, not hidden under anyone's bed. The leaders of blm, antifa, and intersectional feminism all proudly proclaim their adherence to communist theory and their intent to bring the US under communist rule. You are just running interference for them.

            [–]Breadman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

            In the US communism is about the weakest ideology there is. Never going to be a threat. Worry about your own govt, more of a threat
