Oddly the op doesnt mention anything about Russia or China but the comments do.

Also the contents of the link to “General trolling” are fucking hilarious. Those poor Canadian feelings :(((((

I kind of agree with our admins that we should have not been using PPB in other instances, but its funny that they mentioned it TWICE.

    okay, i know the libs often accuse us of not having experienced “the real world” and saying we’ll grow out of socialism, but how can you possibly not hate landlords? like, genuinely do they still live with their parents? have they never had to deal with a landlord themselves? i’ve got two of them fucking me right now because i’m trying to move and holy shit its taking so much restraint not to say some mao-wtf tier shit

        Especially in a Canadian instance. Our rental and housing markets are even less affordable than the US lol

        This is what I don’t get about Canadian online spaces, like subreddits for cities or provinces in Canada.

        A ridiculous percentage of posters in all of these spaces are landlords or landlord supporters. I just don’t get it. Why is it like this?

          It’s because 60% of Canadians are landlords, and the remaining 40% wish they were. We’ve had to pounded into us from birth that housing is the surest bet in the world and the only way to escape the matrix.

            I think that statistic includes everyone who lives with their family who owns the home

        He was not a good landlord. He was maybe an otherwise cool guy and might have been doing his genuine best to fulfill his obligations (unlike most landlords) but he was still taking money from you for the use of your home. It’s unjustifiable parasitism from the outset

            I am living in a co-op housing build 50 years ago, we all are our landlords together. We save what is needed for repairs and a bit for new construction so other people can become our share land lords, too, but that is about it.

        the thing is, you could just hire people to do those things. but instead the system allows someone to leech on you and not allow you to build equity for late life so you can retire. and even when you buy a house, the banks are rentseeking in their loans

      They aren’t engaging in good faith, the only purpose of the arguments they cook up is to belittle
