It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
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
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
I had a good landlord (in an apartment, because apparently that makes a difference) who was on top of his shit, got maintenance done in a timely manner, kept the place looking good, accepted checks for the rent, bare minimum stuff. He sold the place to this slimy piece of shit who immediately started renovations on any unit that became vacant because of rent increases. He had the fucking nerve to complain about my dog barking when construction crews were doing demolition and sawing tiles and shit right across the complex from my unit. That's when I said fuck renting and bought a house.
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.
And that's why we need a land value tax, make the government parasite everyone equally!
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
that was an option the whole time?
It was back then. Now days, that's a rough spot being a first time home buyer.
They aren’t engaging in good faith, the only purpose of the arguments they cook up is to belittle
The ol' ad hoc lib bloc
A tale as old as time
