What's wrong with hating landlords?
No calls for violence seems like a simple rule. And not every landlord is greedy mcshitstain with 50 properties, many of them are a single family with their starter home rented out, or a couple renting out their extra room.
Nothing's wrong with hating landlords. I hate landlords. Lots of people hate landlords. There's a difference between calling for economic reform and calling for mass executions.
I support the move of the admins, but of the points they made, this point was the one that I was like "eh I mean, that's fine tho". People are tired and civil unrest is growing. I think it's fine to try and vent that even if it means punching (or shooting) up. It might be unsavoury, but broadly I don't have an issue with it in small amounts.
some landlords might have to go but there are degrees. Speculating in housing is unethical, but a small land leech isn't some kulag who needs to be ended.
Also, property managers, really? They are just wage workers.
