This is ridiculous that you’re getting downvoted for this statement. This all-or-nothing rejection to landlords is unreasonable. I rent a house to my buddy for $300/month. I could be renting it more than that, but I just want to make sure that he and his family are okay. I CAN NOT AFFORD to let him live there for free. The rent I charge is beyond reasonable. The people rejecting the idea that you should be able to at least collect the property taxes for something you own have never lived in the real world.

a few things seem to motivate young idiots into conservative thought:

MRA their daddy their rural background edgelord BS

of course they do. that’s my entire point. debate is useless. if you don’t start fighting for the society you want to live in, somebody else is, and you’re gonna be living in their ‘perfect world’. you need to decide which side you’re on.

of course not. please follow through with your point so i can offer a further explanation.

and you’re foolish enough to be duped by goose and gander arguments, which is why lawful good people will always lose to lawful evil. sorry you don’t get it. wish i could tell you to get back with me in 10 years, but it’ll be too late by then. you’re going to see what happens when you fight fairly with sociopaths.

see? that’s what i’m talking about! i know i’m not alone in thinking “man, all this shit would be a lot easier if there were a lot less conservatives in the world”. but where the fuck do we go to talk about that?

hey man, i appreciate your sincere reply and i’ll definitely check out the links. I’m just a little wary of calling myself a socialist - not because i’m not a socialist (i definitely am), but just because it pigeon-holes my goals a little bit, while also alienating a lot of people who may not think of it that way. i just see a myriad of problems in which the only solution is to get rid of the conservatives blocking progress.

also, there really are a bunch of limp-wristed pacifists out there and i don’t see why they shouldn’t be labeled as such. light a fire under their pansy asses.

This feels like a dare to me. I don’t create my own instances because i don’t want to spend all my time tinkering with some BS on the internet, but it looks like I need to put my money where my mouth is. I’ll be right back.

thank you. this is the correct answer. if you hide from technology, it will find you eventually and you’ll be completely unprepared for how to deal with it and it will be in the hands of the wrong people.

i’m an artist. i use AI artwork IN my art. i also use photoshop. i don’t see a difference between the two things in the big picture.

why would i change my fundamental understanding of rational morality based on popular opinion? i believe that there are more limp-wristed pacifists out there than there are warriors with a conscience, but that just means i need to amplify myself even more so people understand what’s at stake.

sounds like what a lawful good sucker would say.

violence is the beginning of a wonderful conversation if you’re serious about change. if you’re a naive sucker that thinks that YOUR generation will be the one that finally does it through democracy, then lol. just lol.

i believe in democracy. we just need to eliminate about 10% of the voters that keep the wrong institutions in power.

show me how it will change any other way in time to avoid the dystopia at our doorstep.
