All landlords are rich people that hoard land and then, if they're inefficient, hold it hostage in exchange for many times its worth.
It is literally the explicit purpose. And yes, some landlords own inns, that they rent to inn keepers and proprietors that then sublet. They do not run the inns if theyre landlords.
It quite literally is. That's the purpose of being a landlord, exclusively, is to lord over land and expand your domain with the profits.
All landlords are leeches, all landlords would rather leave homes empty than rent them as long as the line goes up, all landlords exist still lely to make money from having money.
Yeah that's a great talk to have with your kids, "You see Timmy, sometimes as a twenty something that has been determined to be sexually attractive to prepubescent children and pedophiles you might be asked to pretend to go through puberty a second time so a lot of rich people can make money off of your sex appeal, again to kids and pedophiles."
Just a reminder, they're just better at being landlords. All landlords, every single one, is responsible for this, they were just too inefficient to raise rents this high this fast before becoming conglomerates.
The fediverse is a complicated subject, even amongst those smart enough, or just clever enough, to find lemmy. Many users do think whatever instance they joined is the main one, still others believe .world or .ml as the "main" instance ruling over all others.
It's weird thinking of a service being this disparate, even if you try to use discord or other similar platform as an analogy, it still fails to acknowledge there is not central server or ruleset (beyond the software license itself).
Bluesky further fucked things up by claiming to be decentralized and federated, and then getting popular.
In short yes, many so think replying here means .world mods will ban their unrelated lemmy account from all of lemmy.
There's a reason most of us have .world instance blocked.
I'm sure there's some poor mod on there in a community that just unfortunately was started on there, but genuinely it's a better lemmy experience without.
Yes, they are the same. Advocating for more cops means you want innocent people to be murdered. But they're poor so they don't count I guess. Celebrating the West feeding the doomed Ukraine led war means you're happy when the poor die -- rich Ukrainian aren't dying, the ceos of Ukrainian industry aren't dying, they won't be affected.
The scale is different, but that's because there are fewer people with money and power.
There's really no other answer as they have forgotten the lessons of their forebearers. When the working class can take no more they do not die, they kill. They don't mean to, they don't want to, they would rather slowly die than kill, but they kill all the same.
Employers used to be dragged out into the street along with their family and beat to death in front of their family if they failed to provide a fair deal to their employees; even as capital paid for protection in the military or police, that did nothing to stop the workers, as workers are not slaves and are not raised to understand themselves as such.
As capital once again ruins the good will that keeps it alive, this will just happen more and more. It takes one bad day to make a good person decide that suicide is not an adventure for a single person.
Not really. Certainly some "encryption" algorithms or really implementations have backdoors, but RSA for example doesn't. Encryption is only worthwhile if it's mathematically sound, and you can't backdoor mathematics without some random undergrad working on their maths degree figuring out for fun.
Crazy that Marx and Engels weren't socialists.
How is it always the landlords that end up defending their disgusting practices.
